Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

Ocean roars your name
Crashing against the shore line
We long for you still
...

On soft angel's wings
The sunset's awesome light glows
We sing God's praises
...

Spring flaunted her smile
Everything she loved slowly
Awakened in praise
...

Where are you going without me?
Said the cloud to the sunbeam
As it gaily danced across the sky.
I am going to kiss the flowers,
...

To all the fine young men,
We thank you.
We register you in the brag books of our memories.
We salute you, removing invisible hats,
...

Threat of pending storm
Changes quiet sky to roar
Mountains and sea moan
...

Blue skied paradise
Sun light drapes wooded haven
Man's lost art intrudes
...

I listen to the words
Of her song,
On the radio,
And it is the same song
...

He pursued her sweetness
His eyes followed her...
He memorized her delicious lips
And inhaled her laughter.
...
