Heather Owens Poems

Requiem for a dream
by sound so sweet
dreams of escape lay at its feet
by meaning so morbid
...

If I told you
how I really feel
would you hold me
would you kiss me
...

a song is a poem in motion
riding the wave
soaring the sky
falling with a thud
...

Memories fading,
mind erasing,
losing grip on reality.
Trying to remember,
...

All alone you are,
And all alone you’ll stay,
For you never let love come,
And never let it fly away.
...

forsake me
leave me be
loneliness
dear old friend
...

Did you see the fall
hear them scream
see them bleed
Did you rip their wings
...

Questioning existence.
Without form, texture
touch denied
do you exist outside the body
...

little angel
wings torn to shreds
why do tears fall
from shining eyes
...

Sing to the bitter moonlight
watch and wait
as words of poison part the darkened shades
listen to the stilted rhythm of violins
...
