Teresa Reck Poems

A rose like no other
held gently in my palm
silken petals so red
caress my skin and embalm
...

From the very first time our lips met
I knew she would be mine to seduce
tender kisses I leave on her hair
framing her face stray tendrils so loose
...

This pit is full of dark voices
sucking me deeper and deeper within
arms reaching out to pull at me
my fight with the darkness will begin
...

Time stood still this summers day
I asked her the ultimate question
and offered her the key to my heart
she looked at me with a sad expression
...

Paradise is a world
where wishes can come true
spend time in this haven
and banish the blues
...

A fragrance lies upon the air
awakening senses of the geisha
jasmine drifting on the breeze
and blossoming sweet rose acacia
...

A vast emptiness surrounds me
when I look out over the sea
filling my mind full of dread
until my body feels like lead
...

This is a place I can feel at peace
my haven from which I seek a release
dip my toes into the water so cool
enjoy my time from a life so cruel
...

Let me erase away your many tears
abolish from your mind any fears
a beautiful face should always smile
never show a frown that is hostile
...

Everything I touch
turns to dust
grey as a world
without the sun
...
