Julie Smith Poems

Crying in the pallid night
Crying in a dreary sleep
Crying torrid shades of ember
For the washed out faded days
...

As I sit here, shaking from the walk, but definite
My fingers smelling of smoke and myself
I don't need anyone else
...

Hear the clocks ticking, from dusk 'til night
The time is running, will it be on my side?
When the clock strikes nine I will be just fine
Because this is the time that you will be mine
...

Beautiful, sexy, pretty
All the compliments in the world
Make me feel good
But what is their worth
...

Victory, why are you feeling so blue?
Because I won't be heard by the Gods I pray to
Great Jupiter, listen
Your Psyche is calling
...

You might say I am crazy
Obsessive, insane
But I'm just a girl
With an American name
...

City lights reflected by silver clouds
My brand new shoes on the dark, dusty pavement
Following the golden glow down the avenue
High trees, white walls and luxury villas
...

I was a stupid girl
Egoistic and dumb
Put myself first
I was feeling numb
...

Forever and ever
The saying goes
But what's in eternity
Can it come close
...

I saw you in a magazine today
Half a smile, miles away
And though I know you're busy doing all the things you wanna do
I keep thinking about you
...
