Renee Marie Poems

I was simply where I had to be today,
nothing more and plenty less than my best.
I'm a bit sick with fermenting dreams souring my smile.
I was where I had to be today; auto-pilot got me there
...

Even
in sleep
we spin
webs of worry
...

From a backyard in Fair Haven,
Vermont,
a long, distant train whistle feels
like water sliced thin by my
...

I’ll never forget her
carefully guarded lethargy and
verbal repertoire:
...

What if I could slam myself into something,
break into a million pieces, and never feel a thing.
Could kindness be there?
...

"It's an abomination and you
haven't even known her long enough to say
I love you"!
...

Marching by
with the cadence of tired Winter
are gentle
afternoons
...

Deep in the stomach of a flame, a rebirth dances.

Deep in the feast of contentment, a curiosity grows.
...

In its season
the leaf fell.
Bugs drank
her juices,
...

The blushing bride wears pink and white
without desire to break some old tradition.
Daintily she parades up the center isle,
angelic glow and radiant her smile.
...
