Victoria Gauci Poems

Through broken glass and faded dreams,
I find a place where I can scream,
This pain is huge and takes me over,
I cannot smell the scent of clover,
...

You are like a butterfly,
With open wings on air,
Taking flight despite it all,
Leave behind all that despair,
...

If you engage me in conversation,
I will tell you what I think,
If you ask me for my opinion,
I will give it,
...

I was driving over the Hoover Dam,
When I received the important call,
My Mother was dying and I had to return,
To be brave and face it all,
...

Life is a series of lessons,
Of which we are supposed to learn,
We are supposed to put out the fires,
Before the flames catch something to burn,
...

Most days I can get out of bed,
Find something pleasant inside my head,
But then there are days when I want to hide,
From all of pain I have hidden inside,
...

You're gone and I never expected,
For our friendship to wither away,
I never saw it coming, now I'm confused,
I need the words you refuse to say,
...

I don't understand what our youth are thinking,
With so many thoughts of suicide,
They're cutting themselves to ease the pain,
Feeling no one is on their side,
...

Dorothy Parker I love your mouth,
Your witted words do splendor,
Sitting 'round the table round,
Money earned to spend more,
...

In the midst of Summer's end for thee,

The Fall brings down the colored leaves,
...
