S Holland Poems

I saw a touch of fall today.
It was the morning when I walked.
The coming season to me talked.
...

If you question my life today,
Ask me before I die.
Don't wait 'til flowers are on my grave.
Don't wait 'til you say goodbye.
...

I remember your ghost of a smile.
It flickered across your lips,
And your eyes followed suit,
Twinkling merrily
...

Oh, bleeding heart!
Oh blood so red and deep.
Why, oh why
Can't I keep this distress
...

Through the screen, and silent as a cat,
A puff of breeze nudges at my back,
As if to say, 'I want a whiff of that.'

Hovering near the Sunday evening fare,
...

I smelled that smell yesterday.
That smell of love.
That musky, dusky smell
Of rain-soaked leaves,
...

My coffeepot is my friend.
It's wonderful
In that he asks not
What I can give,
...

Gossamer wings they always have,
Like the one I saw today,
Perched on the balcony railing to say,
Don't just look, come out to play.
...

Like a butterfly let me alight.
Onto the flower that is your life.
Let me tread gently with soft butterfly feet,
So as not to disturb those before me.
...

Make your fun and happiness
Where ever you are.
Don't let cities and places make you,
Take you afar.
...
