Alyssa Rieper Poems

The Greatest Thing you'll ever keep...
Is the love that GOD gives you

The Greatest Thing you'll ever do...
...

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
Midnight skies
Deathly cries
...

I was walking home one night
And I saw a star big and bright

I closed my eyes, heaven in mind
...

The tires of the car convert to the shape
Of the shadow black of death wake
Every jolt shimmys beneath the car
Pushes me closer, it got me this far
...

Carefully read, this prose is at still
Not shaking or budging at it's own will
Each word will bow to the one at it's left
And the ones to the right are servants at best
...

Cast upon the the soaken shore
Damned to be there evermore
Lost forever at one word
Of a man whom less preferred
...

I am just a broken doll
Lying shattered from a fall
Dark and cold, I wait for you
To fix me up as good as new
...

Wouldn’t it be great
If we had a life we didn’t hate?
All our friends got along
And in our head a beautiful song
...

You grab your knife
To take her life
But change your mind
From being so kind
...

A friend is a companion that never leaves
A companion is a person that never deceives
A person is someone who has once existed
Existing is something that God has listed
...
