Sophia Engel Poems

Aloft the wind
I ride the night sky
I see the world through a much different eye
Rural, black and Deadly I am
...

Imagine a candy wonderland
Filled to the top with yummy things to eat
Fences made of marshmallow
And roofs carved of ginger bread
...

Poverty is not my family,
Nor lover,
Nor teacher,
Nor my brother,
...

When I lost her
my heart split open
When I lost her
I thought I’d never heal
...

Alone wherever I go 

alone whatever I do 

alone all the time
alone what I should do 


...

I was crazy enough to jump off a bridge for you

Even when I have seen you only once.

But you let me down
I am mad enough to still be thinking about you

...

Our world is always changing,
Constantly re-arranging.
From ocean depths to mountain peaks,
Mother Nature moves and speaks.
...

When I found you
The missing piece
I found myself
I felt complete
...

I was talking to the moon

Just the other night, 

Telling him how much

I admired his light;
...

CRASHING waves... SMASHING seas...
Bringing sailors to their knees.
As they struggle to save their lives
Hoping and praying, help arrives.
...
