Jenny Williams Poems

Never say you cannot dream
The world is yours to grasp
So go
And dream away
...

She lifted up her hand
And touched a sky painted
Black
The emptiness and heaviness
...

she slipped her hand
into his
I’m sorry for
the way I’ve been
...

Objective
you speak
Obsessive
in thought
...

We lock the pieces of our heart into a box of gold.
A treasury kept safe from the reaches of the world.
We put inside our hopes and dreams, our passions, our desires.
We put them there to keep them safe, to hide them from the light.
...

The illusionist will tell you that
Nothing is as it seems
This life is but a memory of
The dreaming of a dream
...

Why do I feel
You are worlds away?
Your soul is so distant
From mine.
...

Silhouettes of dismal trees
Pierce the misty winter sky
Damp bark and earth speak for themselves
We wonder why does heaven cry?
...

You try to laugh
But all that comes
Is murmurs, tears, stifled sounds
...

This dark abyss
Consumes me
There is no escape
From destiny
...
