Charissa Arsaoui Poem
Swollen pride
Hides broken heart
Time impatient
Rips us apart
Fading quickly
A damn good thing
Mourn our choices
And all they bring
Listen carefully
Speak no more
All is silent
When you close the door
Anger moves us
Sadness shames
Love surrounds us
And we're all to blame
Moving closer
To what feels right
Fighting darkness
Cursing light
We reject the familiar
And embrace the unknown
Never finding the courage
To be all alone
Long lost memories
Fading away
Photographic innocence
Shows happier days
Breathless whisper
A careless embrace
An image immortalized
Without showing its face

Charissa Arsaoui Poem
Some think I’m crazy
Plumb out of my head
For listing these reasons
I’m not leaving bed
My pillow’s real soft
My blanket’s nice too
There are dishes in the sink
And dusting to do
The bills need paid
And there are lessons to finish
These cobwebs in doorframes
Will never diminish
The TV is filled with nothing but gloom
The bathroom needs tidying
The floors need vacuumed
The dog needs a bath
There’s laundry to fold
The leftovers from last week
Are starting to mold
The hedges need trimmed
The weeds are growing
The garden needs tended
The yard needs mowing
My house is a mess
The roof sprung a leak
I’m up to my ears
For the next couple weeks
If only I had
The courage I said
I’d throw back the covers
And the cat would be fed

Charissa Arsaoui Poem
And I remember a time
When I thought
The whole damn world
Was mine
The skies are full
Of dreamers, girl,
Though few exist
To shine
