Zoe Elsworth Poems

The sweet smile upon your lips
Smooth movement of your hips
Charming gaze
Eyes ablaze
...

My love for yours
I ask of you
A life of love
Forever true
...

This woman before me
She is looking so sad
Eyes soaked in a longing
For a wish never had
...

I pray, my love
The one I seek
Upon the hills
The highest peak
...

Beneath the surface so still she there lay
The woman whose deep eyes could never betray
Her vision a blur reminding her then
Of such terror and pain at the young age of ten
...

The child that plays
Upon the sands
Of yesterdays soon sorrow
...

Fear not the words of which I speak
Love in hate is what I seek
For love is love and love is hate
My love in which I here do state
...

Tired am I, and why do I try?
The way you use, abuse, and lie
A life unlived - I give, and give
My heart you break - my soul you take
...

Deep are the rivers
Of yesterdays sorrow
Shadows thriving
In the too nearing morrow
...

Finding depths of undesired
A numbness speaks to me
I cry dry tears within my soul
Is this who I’m to be?
...
