I wish I could go back there again just...

15 years old.
It was a brain tumor, they’d said.

Holding past the current;
undertow of reality slapping
my fragility cold –
(steel bars won’t hold water –
movement always finds its way)

O’, how the lies twist!

Twist like the dusty branches

Nature is free and she is walking around with me, nature is free and the birds are whispering in the trees. They are mating on top of the hill and they just cannot keep still....

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
©Alfreda Williamson
July 2, 2004




Outside town boundaries,
bustling, noisy din,
Deeply in the serenity of peace, calm,
the country County,
Around a curve, sharp, blind.

There it leaped out at me.
Suddenly, unexpectedly
Catching me off guard,
Not foresightedly, not scary
Just by way...

Erstwhile his skin was beautiful as an obsidian, with great markings alongside his face, as was the likeness of the Benin people; an imagery so poignant and meaningful.
His shoulders were wide, his back strong and...

We travel through life hoping for all things at once
We search in our own way 
For that Knight-in-Shining-Armor to appear
Hoping he will take our heart
And give it a place 
Filled with cheer.

We lay awake some...

I’ll dance to your tune
Letting your rhythm flow through me
I’ll let your hand guide me
Your heart setting the beat

I will dance to your tune
Sometimes a slow dance
To fit your flirtatious mood
Sometimes a quickened pace
When your...

Poetry IS.
A personal thing you can relate to.
A common thread weaved into- 
Life's fabric by the Master Craftsman. 
An endproduct and tool for enjoyment 
and understanding-building.

If you see a McCaw steal a Pirates
last lemon that's...

Oh my love..
Oh my baby..
I miss you..
You miss me..

Tickling me from back.. 
You makes me laugh..
Wind blowing so fast..
And our love last..

Tightly Holding me,
You makes me more crazy..
Not even a single...

There is a darkness always lurking around.
Concealed, but ready to pounce, swoop 
you downwards rapidly and keep you there.
Hold you captive in a hole, in darkness.

There is a darkness called depression,
a mental illness that affects...

Recapturing moments, as if gazing out of a broken glass window.
Distorted and blurry from all the tears, the hurt, the sorrow.
Lost in nostalgia,
Plagued with visions of your laugh, your love, your smile.
And all the arguments...

Memories of the old dance hall
are sealed in the mind of a middle-aged 
bopper who remembers the magic 
of Saturday night many years ago when her
date appeared before the door whistling the 
latest tune while...

It was a Friday,
and I was excited
about the High School Dance that night.

I wore a yellow chiffon dress up to my knees
with black Patton leather pumps.

Students stood, jumping, and dancing wall-to-wall.
Partners were no longer needed...

In that peaceful, almost sleep
My mind goes wandering back
Along the pathways of my life
Recapturing moments again
I remember with a blush
When he first kissed me
And the sadness that I felt
When he left this world forever

Tangerine the scene, spilling through this green glass....

Crossing her thighs as she bathes amid love's afterglow

Dare I let Ginger go; knowing insatiable is her hunger ??

Staring outside the window and a sudden knock upon

The years have swiftly passed,
Anniversaries and birthdays have come and gone,
But the days that linger the longest,
Are the days I spend missing you.

Lasting memories are preserved in my mind,
More picturesque than photos in time.
The voices...

Alas, we live in an imperfect world.
We long for somewhere free from strife and pain--
Some Shangri-La or Eden whence, like Cain
When driven forth in anger, we were hurled.

And now our search is endless for some...

Been checking out the surroundings
Overjoyed with what we've discovered
Find our new digs really astounding

Everything is just a stones throw away
It's a vibrant and exciting new town

Too Long a Linger in Sorrow
Tormented heart
Transformed to numbness
Trading fairytales for survival
Choosing sanity over the love 
That is draining my soul

Instant gratification
A lifetime away
Infinite emptiness
Lingering madness
Dissolving the fairy dust
Lying in our path

Exhausting existence
Day after day
Screaming...
