Rachel Branscombe Poems

Oh, what would life be like if things always stayed the same?
If worlds never changed, what would it be like?
The poor would always be poor and the hungry would be left unfed.
Would children always be children?
...

In darkened night I see the stars
Shining against the sky
Golden buttons against a sea of black and blue

In darkened night I see the moon
...

Lord I give thy heart to thee.
The Ones that have died are gathered by your side.
They are blessed Lord.
They no longer have to fight the fight we people of God fight here on Earth.
...

Friends, you never realise just how important they are until they are gone.
They are like a glue that holds ones life together.
Everyone needs friends, everyone needs that group to which they belong.
They are the listeners who pay attention to your problems,
...

Alone I sit and alone I dream
The world is naught but dust to me
In a place I know the place I dream
I dream of things I've never seen
...

I wished I'd payed attention
I wished I'd listened to them
Those wise young men
They had tried to warn me
...

The best place in the world
Where anything can happen
And dreams come true
Where the darkness never comes
...

Love, the most painful of emotions
Everyone feels love but to lose love is torment
To find out that someone you love does care about you cuts right into the soul
Love is dangerous
...

One day while I was dreaming I heard a soft like voice
It called me to a pond
and asked to recite
the stories of my childhood
...

Mind is going faint
My world is overloaded
I cannot bear all this stuff with which my mind must think
all this worrying is making my poor body feel sick
...
