Amanda Grimes Poems

Unattainable perfection
Highlighted flaws projected through a reflection
Glanced at through lowered eyes made heavy
With unanswered cries
...

I love u
it kills me to trust you
must you tear me apart
break my heart
...

let the dove fly forever in peace
never does she need to rest her wings
carrying my heart for me
soaring and conquering all though she is fragile and small
...

lingering emotions victorious
when battles are waged
resisting the inevitable
a soldier
...

youth bestows a gift of errors
when in the mirror the reflection is absent
of wrinkles and lines
the wisdom to is also not present there
...

as love is elusive it is contained
bound to me by those love I've gained
whether love be offered or denied
love unconditional is the rarest kind
...

the greatest secret is the one unspoken doors left open
naked in the crowd only you stand out
your safety has gone and the your inner self is shone
though their your secrets to keep, of which you dare not speak
...
