Poems

Tears fresh, as if only yesterday Hence, many years have gone Since you passed on I miss you still It has made me ill Love entwined with the passing of time Time is still Time ceases Time, no more Time without you Days whiled away Twiddling thumbs Feeling numb Don't know what to say or do Life is so empty without you And yet Eternal hope springs nigh That - when I die Tears will dry as no longer will I be Without you Copyright Kizzy York aka Karina Oakes July, 2011

She awoke stared into the fire It was not blazing embers smouldering to a dim glow She had been in this cave so long Should she remain or should she go ? Light from the entrance streaming in Her eyes had grown dim Should she follow him ? Inside her heart he was beckoning Inside her soul, her spirit, Come hither with me Fear gripped In trepidation, she waits heart pounding in Her chest She knew he only wanted the best But, this cave she had been in such a long time Slowly, she got up Stumbled to the entrance dark was her way the light guiding her She gripped the cave entrance tight All she felt was fright She knew she had to step out Into the unknown Light so bright Her hands shielding her face It seemed so much safer inside the cave She tripped, stumbled crawled out her cave Warmth of the sun Warmer than the fire A different kind of warmth on her face She looked up Saw budding flowers Spring must be here The drabness of winter must disappear
