Clara Keiper Poems

Layin in a tangle of empty sheets
Sleepin with a dream that won't start
Someone keeps replaying everything you said
Love is just an ache in my heart
...

She lay where the fairies dance
In circles in a secret place
The light of day had broke their trance
But still the lady lay
...

In the corner of the room
Sits an empty cardboard box
I'm suppose to fill it up
with your sweat shirts
...

The empty spots still empty
a big hole he left behind
only tears and heartache
fill it now
...

We've walked too far down this road
to say we're innocent
Your married so am I
So we're not innocent.
...

His golden reign was passing by him
and his hair was turning gray
as he struggles hard to gather up
the courage not to walk away.
...

How do you kill a love
A love as strong as mine
A love that's meant to last for years
Until the end of time.
...

With a few loose coins in his pocket
He wandered up to the booth
He needed to answer a question
Have somebody tell him the truth
...

Mama come to Illinois
Can you come tomorrow
There's a park not very far
I run down by the water
...

You can go on living
until it's time to die
The caterpillar doesn't know
about the butterfly
...
