Nancy M. Godfrey

(acrostic)

War and poverty throughout each nation
Hellish armies march in formation
...

What does she think-
This woman with the flowing hair
Locked behind the looking glass.
Is this her image for all to see?
...

Silk fabric of thought
Weave words of perfection.
A tapestry laced with life.
From dawn of day
...

Paper doll made of indigo ink
Soul devoid of concealment
Naked and pure.
Reflection of innocence
...

(off the cuff)

I want to absorb
Honey sunlight
...

I open the gates of my being to you
And like the morning tide you flow
towards me.
Deep within my heart I am filled
...

Inkblots of tears
Scribbled over-
Literature gazes
Persuasive fears-
...

How did you manage to tear down
-Barricaded walls-
Reinforced with steel?
How were you able to dig so deep...
...

Her heart is full
As she listens
To the ivory keys.
Symphonic opus
...

Within the darkest light of day
When minutes stop and seconds
tick slowly away...
Cast behind shadows of gray
...

Blind to the image of a face
painted on a reversible
one-sided canvas.
Intoxicated by willowy
...

Kite made of paper dreams
Glides on breezy gleam
Something in its flight
Clarifies the sight
...
