Muriel Ruth Emerson Poems

For they die
As quickly as they rise
For I only had you in my arms yesterday
Hold on to your dreams
...

This Christmas I am all alone
This Christmas I have no one to hold
This Christmas is the day I fade away
Last Christmas I was happy
...

I make love to feel the release
I love to feel a man bracing my hips
Thrusting his manhood into me
Making me feel like a woman
...

What is a warrior
Is it someone who fights
Though fighting is not wise
Or is it someone who knows when to fight
...

Angel of my nightmare
Come down and stop this pain tonight
Stop the hurt that's deep inside
Stop the me that want to fight
...

Every time I see your picture
I don't feel a thing
I have no feelings towards you
Every time I hear your voice
...

I sit in this pitiful thing we call earth
Surrounded by doubts
Surrounded by the past
By fear
...

The night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, cold and alone are we
The emotions for which you pine
Flares once then dies
Swept away by your obsession
...

What have you ruined?
A black cloud of pain as feelings disappear
Once we were together in heaven
Innocent and hand in hand,
...

This blade glides across my wrist
Back and forth
Back and forth
Blood spoiling onto the rough carpet beneath me
...
