Suzanne LeslieBailey Poems

I give you my heart
But you keep ripping it apart
I give you my trust
Yet you treat me so unjust
...

Like the yellow-yolk sun that shines ever so brightly
Breaking the cold and dreary period of winter
Melting the white carpet of snow
Wrapping us snugly in its warmth
...

When nightfall casts its dark eerie shadow
And slowly caresses our eyelids shut
Images play upon our closed minds
Sometimes good, sometimes not
...

Like the rhythmic sensuous sounds of a drum
My heart beats for you
Beats leaping with fervent excitement
At the mere shadow of your face
...

I reached for the key in the pocket of my heart
To unlock a door closed from peering eyes and wondering “whys? ”
Clenched in my fist is the key
That will break down a barrier mounted for my protection
...

My eyelids lift after a restful night
Fluttering to combat the sunlight shining bright
My eardrums pulsate and beat
To the chirps of birds as they meet and greet
...

The blue bejewelled shimmer of the sea
Gleaming from the kiss of the sun
Beckoning me, seducing me to come hither
...
