Susan Oxford Poems

The grass is green as he strolls along
a familiar path he is comfortable on.
The road meanders, sloping up and down
he knows each view, each smell, each sound.
...

Embers smoke with wisps of grey
the flame reduced to coal,
The flower folds its petals in
to protect its hurting soul.
...

From the start it was meant to be
A love of a lifetime, you and me.

Young and free, our cares were few
...

She gazes out her window
at the boundless rolling green,
Dark shadows cross her mind
hope and happiness unseen.
...

I sit on the patio and look at you
I think of the things that we've been through.
I look at the age on your face
Not one line would I erase.
...

I lie here alone, feeling blue,
my arms, my heart they ache for you.
I miss your closeness so very much,
your smile, your kiss, your loving touch.
...

Each day as the sun rises I think of you
I smile at what we soon will do.
I stretch, I yawn, become awake
Think of the love we soon will make.
...

You fill me with a warm and rising passion:
You are my sunshine.

You lift me high to see the beauty in my life:
...

You lift my chin and gaze at me,
your thumb brushes my cheek.
I hold my breath and wait to see
what words to me you will speak.
...

A second glass opens up my mind
to darker thoughts best left behind.
Leads me to past thoughts of dread,
spilling out words best left unsaid.
...
