A Book Of Poetry For Adults










A Starry Night

On a hot, starry night,
Sitting outside on a porch swing,
Staring up at them,
As they light up the nights sky.
A shooting star I see,
I close my eyes and make a wish,
That my life stays just the way it is,
I could never ask for more.
Sitting quietly except for the sound,
Of crickets talking to each other.
Life could not get,
Any better than this.
As I sit here, rocking on the porch swing,
I could almost fall asleep,
But then I would miss out on,
This beautiful view.
Not a cloud in sight for miles.
The moon so huge tonight.
I can never get enough of,
A summer’s hot starry night.
 
Tears

I can hold the tears in,
All day long.
I try to make them,
Disappear.
By the end of the night,
When I lay my head,
Upon my pillow,
That is where,
The tears want to be.
I cannot hold them in,
Any longer.
They come on out.
I quietly cry,
Myself to sleep.
Like a little child,
That does not want,
To go to sleep.
My pillow holds my tears,
So that no one,
Can see them.
