Poems from The Hopeful Poet
Fragile hearts are torn, papers scatter across the floor
Children whisper as birds fly
Numb hands reach out looking for warmth
People say...
Cold windows, silent train
Broken promises, cloudy skies
Heavy footprints, light rain
Hopeful wishes, long goodbyes
Sleep to the sound of the music telling you your okay
Break the barrier of tears, you've been holding in all day
Smile at the sunrise...
If you met me today, I would be a shadow in the street
Bruised, humble, quiet, broken
If you met me tomorrow, I would be loud and effete...
Take in the skyline, pretty as can be
Smile at the waves in the tranquil sea
Swim through the ocean, away from the shore
Detach yourself...
