KAT’S POEMS
No 1:
they pretend they know
but really
they have no idea
they pretend to understand
but I know they never can
No 2:
when I draw
it is not me drawing
but my soul
making line and shade
tone and shadow
into raw emotion
No 3:
snow that falls, engulfs
gently teasing
the cold winter air
No 4:
outside
when cold air burns your cheeks
and the smell of wood smoke
burns in your nostrils
don't worry
you are alright
settling in
to this new life
No 5:
Memories
Come back
Rush through my head
Filmy, glazed eyes
Staring
Remembering
Long forgotten lives
Loves
People
No 6:
How quickly life goes by
Without a second glance
And people die
You laugh
You cry
Because life is just
Another game
Of chance.
No 7:
The sky is the same colour as the sea
That blue expanse carrying on till the end of forever
Looking through the small boat’s window
Now part of the waves
I’m alone, just me
No 8:
When it feels like you're alone
And the stars don't seem to shine
Everything you thought you once owned
Is gone
Is taken
Just close your eyes, lie in bed
Sleepy head
And drift
No 9:
Cold
Warm
Tired
Liar
Sigh
Try
Cry
No 10:
Connections
Everywhere
Strings
Attached
To everything
No 11:
Every thing seems to be getting better
My bridges are getting stronger
My connections even longer
No time to stop and think of
Before
No 12:
Need any help
Want me to show you around?
I will,
You know.
No 13:
The power of speech
Means so much
But speech has left
Deserted me
No 14:
Love
Is strange
It never fades
Not really
It’ll always be there
Somewhere
And if it does fade
Then it wasn’t really
Love
