Victoria Hughes Poems

Upon the crest of a wave I see
hidden memories held within.
New ones created, from every bough
on every ship, that travels bound
...

I damage my lungs
Day after day
Knowing someday
That i'll have to pay
...

Always look for the silver-lining,
Always strive for a goal,
Always aim to reach the moon
And you'll never be alone.
...

The coldest winter since 1963
That's what's in store
The newspaper told me.
...

'You know me not, '
I say to you,
...

I know that today I ran from you
I didn't mean to hurt,
I couldn't stay a minute longer
I'd waited by the church.
...

'But I still love her, dad
She could move the moon and the stars
With her smile.
She could make my heart leap,
...

Love is not love me or i won't speak to you
Love is not be mine and mine only
Love is not be away from me and i'll forget you
True love is not just 'i love you'.
...

You're such a fool
You're such a cad
Why can't you grow up
And stop being such a lad?
...

You gather your clothes and the act is done,
The curtain rises from the floor,
'I'll call you tomorrow' you say
As you pass out of the door.
...
