Sharon Collins Poems

I kept the faded ribbon
He held within his hand
His name I hear in every song
still played in Orange bands
...

I'll pretend that I am stupid and I don't really see
All the hurtful things
You do to me
...

There will aye be someone prettier
or someone smarter too
But that disnae matter, love
Cos they will never be you.
...

What if the trees might never bloom
Or the chance to hold again this woman
What if the night might never turn to day
Or the chance to hear her say, don't go, stay
...

How deeply treasured a glass can be
Given with heart from a friend to me
Many a cheer and a faretheewell
A simple glass with a story to tell
...

Each car that drove past
I'd hope to find your face
The search for what was missing
Twas you I could not replace.
...

His words upon my heart string play
A harmony that won't go away
The lovers hands in foreplay sway,
And his breath,
...

The snowy blanket where he lies
We were not ready for this goodbye
In silent pain,
the teardrop cries
...

I want to dance with the one who breaks his own heart
who knows only how to love too hard
or not at all
...

Our souls were never strangers
bonded from the start
We could travel a billion years
Our hearts will never part
...
