Sian Macleod Poems

We met too long ago
We were different people
Too young to understand
Too old not to care
...

Your presence is a drug
A drug to which I am stuck
And like your little pill
My smile is small and sugar-coated
...

I don't want you
I don't need you
You don't want me
You don't need me
...

Tonight a star went out
It must have been the one
that shone the brightest with that very first touch
It's final light reached Earth
...

There were highs
There were lows
There was excitement
There was boredom
...

You were my saviour
You were my guide
Your love encouraged me
Your words enlightened me
...

Snow falls and I'm as happy as can be,
Daffodils bloom and I'm happier than I was,
The sun shines brightly as brightly as my heart,
But once the leaves fall and it snows once again,
...

I miss the softness of your hands,
I miss your lop-sided smile,
I miss your sparkly blue eyes,
I miss your comforting arms,
...

A loser is one who constantly fails,
Who seeks what they cannot achieve,
And covets what they cannot have,
Who closes the gate once the horse has run,
...

She heard screaming
And woke with a start
She found she'd been dreaming
Yet still
...
