Shemaine English Poems
Grief-stricken
mothers,
broken families,
lost children
...
Ten years later we still think of them
We still feel their spirits in our bones
and remember them
...
Hold up the world
with your strength,
and your courage
and the spark of hope
...

The Best Poem Of Shemaine English
A Great And Terrible Beauty
A great
and terrible
beauty
is in
your
eyes...
It will scorch
and transform
me
if I
get
too close...
So, I keep
myself
at a distance,
until
you grow
tired,
and find
someone
else
to love.
