Poem #1

One day as I was thinking
Thinking as I often do
The subject turned to love
And immediately I thought of you
I thought of how you have changed my life
And relieved all my pain
I thought of how you've carried me
And all things in life I've gained
As I pondered these wonderous thoughts
I came upon one more
And thought about my sinful life
Only as it was before
And then it was there I realized
How much you've changed me inside
And made me the most gracious person
Now one more thing I cannot hide
I never thought of love
As an object or a person
I often thought about it being bliss and maybe a potion
I did not think it was something I could see
But now I see love everyday, everytime I look at me
It might be by my definition only
But you have made me love
And also you have made my life
Not just high but above.
Sylvia Harris from Houston


#2 Hurting Softly poem

She lay in her bed,
the covers up close,
one hand clenched tight,
the other held the music that soothed her soul,
dug in deep and twisted her stomach.
Her eyes shut tight,
her heart a single beat.
There used to be a rhythm,
a drumming of two.
But the second beat,
the second beat left.
And no matter how hard she fought
the ocean poured through the cracks in the corner,
slid down her nose and quenched the pillow case.
She thought of him, he thinks of her.
And no matter how hard she willed it,
his face won't go away.
Her heart sinks deeper, emotion stays strong.
She turns now to face the wall,
like the blank slate that paves her face.
She'll hold it back, bite her lip and dig her nails in deep.
39 her waste of time.
But she'll never let go, you can bet on it.
