Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

I knocked on the door
Of my dreams, asking
'Please allow me to escape
To another time and place...'
...

When it is real

Desire is hot
...

Of perfumed sorrows
Purple twilight's teared silence
pink horizon's smile
...

Today I kept a promise to myself
To stop in where the Antique Shop's
Flag teased in the breeze as a beacon
To come in, we are open.
...

Daily feast of eyes
Blue skies mountains and rivers
Jehovah be praised
...

I mixed and I mixed
To blend just the right colors
You can't mimic God
...

The message was quaint
Scribbled in the sky so high
My forever love
...

Sunny days of autumn,
Awesome days,
Of chrysamthum lined landscapes,
In hues of golden orange and yellow.
...

Your sweet faces hide
Under umbrellas so bright
From spring's rainy days
...

It was grand,
I watched the eyes
Of children sparkle again.
The adults segregated themselves,
...
