Annabel Cruz Poems

She smiles at the mirror, eyes blue as the sky
Dreaming of Paris and faraway places
Of people she’ll meet, their stories, their faces
Wishing that time would quickly go by
...

Up, up
The smooth and glassy surface of my shower
He crawled
His delicate spindly legs glued, as if by magic
...

I would like to enter you through your eyes;
To enter the coolness
Of their blue,
To swim in you
...

(For Isabel on her Confirmation Day)

May the faith you confirm today
Be your key
...

Loving you
Through copper wires
Has taught me
The pain of patience
...

Every seed of kindness
That you plant today
Will one day
Be a bouquet 
...

His shoes lay on the ground
Two huge galleons
That had collided in the night
And now were sinking
...

Rocking chair, so solid
Basking in the sun
Full of purpose
Full of meaning
...

That place you find so easily
Eludes me like a dream
I can’t remember
Though I feel it tingling, warm and fuzzy
...

(for Isabel and Olivia)

Twiggy arms and twiggy legs
Dangling from the twiggy trees
...
