Dianejean57's Saved Poems

Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder who you are, up above the sky so high, like a diamond in disguise, You light up the sky so bright at night to show me which way is right. I know who you must be; you shine so bright for...

The walk in the woods.

One cool summer day. I met a man along the way. I can hear the birds singing and the leaves rustling beneath my feet. The man took my hand, that I may understand, the skies were blue with a soft breeze too. We walked for...

The storm and the lighthouse.

I sit by the lighthouse and look up at the sky. I can see the puffy clouds as they float by. Then I was amazed when the angels arrived. They float down in their silky white gowns with diamonds in their eyes. I guess...

Memories 

I am lying by your side. I can see the sunshine in your eyes. It has to be a crime to look so divine. Just give me a sign. Then we can have a drink of wine. Then I will make you mine. The love we had is strong; how can that be wrong?...

Just take my hand. 

Your eyes have to be stars that fell from the sky. Your soft, sweet lips must have come from a tulip. Take my hand, and I will take you on a journey. Where there are bright lights and the moon shines bright and the scent of...

Crystal.

When you have to put your dog to sleep she looks into your eyes, she knows she is going to die. There are no more rides through the countryside, and there is no place for you to hide. You sit there and cry. Every teardrop is one more...

As I lay my head down. 

As I woke up this morning without any warning, you were on my mind. How could I leave you behind? I closed my eyes tight so I could see you that night. The sun through the window was so bright; everything felt so right—no...

The colors you hold in your hand.

I can see the colors of light you hold in your hand. But I still don't understand. You come from a distant land, and the colors are low in pitch, deep purple's emeralds deep, and rich where Autumn's flaming and...

When you have to put your dog to sleep and she looks into your eyes, she knows she is going to die. There are no more rides through the countryside, and there is no place for you to hide. You sit there and cry. Every teardrop is one...

The Emergency Room

I was in the ER, lying on a bed. They told me you have less than a minute, and you will be dead. I can hear the whispers of the doctors behind the screen. Save the lungs, the liver, and the spleen. I'm not stupid; I know what...

The Poet

The poet sits in his chair all alone. All his friends have left and gone. He sits there, thinking about what went wrong. But he is very strong. He sits there every day, and the people walk by and go their own way. Why does he sit there...

Sand between my toes.

I'm a girl alone in this world. I finished my chores, so I went down by the shore. I can feel the sin as it comes up between my toes, and the wind blows through my hair like a cool summer breeze. Then I see someone with a...

The chimes. Break up the night.

I'm standing in the darkness, and a chimes from the town Church Tower break up the silence of the night. I stand on the hill overlooking the grave sites and see the shadows of all the people from the past. They all...

One peek into the past.

When I was young, we used to play games; today they do, but it's not the same. We would play hide-and-seek, not peek. We played with little red wagons, and today they fall off the wagon. We would jump rope; today they sit...

The shadow in my dream.

The dreams I have are of you and me. We are so happy and a little bit sad. How can that be? You died a decade ago. But I still see your ghost. Your name was spoken, and the silence of the night was broken. You hand me a...

The man in my dreams.

When I met you, drops fell out of the sky, and I saw teardrops in your eyes. Come to find out it was all a disguise. You took me by the hand as we sat in the sand. We were there till the sun set, and you calmed my fears as I...

Take control.

I'm walking down the street, and I see someone I would like to meet. He is so fine, and he is so kind. Sometimes you have to take control. I walked up to him and told him my name is, so how do you do? I took his hand. Oh,  what a...

You can close your eyes.

I know the time we had was short. But you taught me what's right and what's wrong. And how to read and write, and more importantly, how to be nice. So hold on to me tight and close your eyes; I will never leave your side....

The screaming of the sirens in the middle of the night.

I don't want to hear the siren screaming in the middle of the night or the blue lights blinking on the window pane. All I know is that I'm in a lot of pain. I can't even tell you what my...

The puppet on a string.

You give me the hope that I need and the help to cope with it. Without you by my side, who am I? Just a puppet on a string with nowhere to go; please take the strings and show me where I should go. Only you know the way,...

The picture is on the wall.

There is a picture on the wall of me walking down the hall. I am so happy, I'm clapping. I don't walk, but I can talk. The light is so bright what a beautiful sight! I think I'll stay all night. When the bell rings,...

The storm.

You are like a storm in the rough seas, with the wind blowing in the breeze. But if you come and find me, the wind will stop, and you will be free. You have to leave the past behind, and then you will see. There is love in this world,...

As I wake up to the morning light,.

I woke up this morning without any warning; the sky is a shade of gray and the clouds are black. I know you will never be back. The wind is blowing and the storm is approaching. I need a safe place, but all I...

I fall into a deep sleep. I'm standing in a cool stream as it flows between my legs. I can feel the smooth rocks under my toes as I walk along, and the sun's rays peak through the trees and warm my face. I look, and standing there on the bank is a...

Imperfections

My legs might not work as well as they used to. But I overcame those issues; I might not be able to walk or run. But they say I shine like the sun. I look to the sky and wonder why. Your imperfections our life's perfections God...

The rain fell from the sky.

I am looking out my window, watching the rain come down. No one understands my pain or why I frown. I can't walk, but I can talk and feel pain and sorrow. I have to look ahead to tomorrow. My pain will not heal. I have...

The roses on the window pane.

It hurts me when I look, and I'm disabled. My family puts me in a nursing home all alone. It's just me and the pretty rose on the window pane. They can't be bothered; they think I'm insane. They never stop by to say...

I believe.

I go to the beach every day of the week. I sit in the sand and fold my hands. I look up at the sky and ask God why he doesn't bring someone by. I opened my eyes, and to my surprise, he's standing by my side. Thank you, Lord, for what...

In memory of Crystal.

I had a dog named Crystal who would come when I whistled. She stood by my side and would never hide; that would be bad, and it would make me sad. She is black and white, and what a delight! She is in pain, but I won't...

1 minute in time.

Once upon a time, there was a pretty girl with pretty little curls. She met a boy, and she was filled with joy. They would run in the sun, boy. Did they have fun? They would ride their bikes and then take hikes. They would...

The chair by the window.

I am in a wheelchair; no one cares. I hate it when people point and stare. I want to yell, What the hell? I have a heart and a soul. I know, because it hurts me so much. Please take me home and make me your own. I am a...

The chair.

If I could not walk and had to live in a chair, Would you still love me anyway? If I could not greet you at the door, cook your meals, or mop the floor, Would you still love me anymore? If I could not see or hear you when you were...

Some things.

Some things fly and some things cry; some people are old and some people are bold; some people are tall and some people are small; some people hurt and some people get burned. Some people lie, and some people die. Some people can't...

When you're in love.

When you're in love, you fly like a dove. You fly so high that you can almost touch the sky. When you're in love, you look above and wonder why you feel so shy. Your stomach has butterflies whenever he comes by. When you're...

The lady is in the window.

She sits in the window every day, staring out for something to say. The people she sees make her more pleased. So she can gossip and lie like a thorn in my side. Some days she will be the one looking in, and she will be...

The blind.

I have sat in a wheelchair all my life. There has to be something better for me in sight. When's my time to go? I will not need a wheelchair, I know. I will be in a place that doesn't have any tears or fears. I can run and jump for the...

The walk.

I am moving on in life, and I am getting old. I know I can't be bought or sold. The gold ring on your hand became faded and old. Just like me, you have to set me free. Take the key and open the lock. And together, we will take that last...

The nightgown.

A long time ago, we had a pass. But we lost it very fast. So I made you my friend. We did not have to pretend. So we spent the weekend in your bed. Then I looked out the window, and someone was standing by your shed. He came by to...

I keep searching.

I tried to chase love all around, but it runs, hides, and moves all around. Maybe if I could be me, but I find that confounding. Can someone come and give me a hug? I would be happy for that, and it would make me sound. I cry at...

In the sand.

I remember your name from a decade ago. I wrote it in the sand just a month ago. But I still love you so much. The tide came in and washed it away. But it takes me back to a place where we would both stay. But I'll still love you. If...
