Corenne Seale Poem
AMBER
Amber described her.
High yellow like the sun itself
With a inside orange like a
Fresh lit fire.
Eyes so intriguing, heart so fatiguing
From critiquing men,
That weakened her.
Men that weekend her when she deserved
All the days on the calendar.
So beautiful she once was
With a smile that could brighten up
The stormiest day
And a mind which was once used,
Now abused and confused.
Her heart of gold was sold
To the lowest bid, and the old pains is hard to rid.
That cut on her left chest
Is still open after so long, it just wants to heal.
Constant pain that trembles up her spine
From constantly bending over backwards
To satisfy people.
Now that fresh lit fire inside her
Continues burning.
That door that stands inside her heart
Is no longer turning.
Those eyes that was intriguing
Is now reeking of bad vibes,
That smile she once had decided to hide.
She raised her pride, it lowered her cries
Now she only cries inside.
But, that is Amber.
Amber is who I’ve described.

Corenne Seale Poem
I live in the city that never sleeps
Time square lights shine
While the sun creeps.
Homeless men rush to the big tin can
Of left over meals
Teens vamp through the night,
No sleeping pills.
My fellow citizens
Shop so late
Club stays open in Brooklyn
Way past eight.
Catch a ferry to Staten Island
Or a nice boat ride in Manhattan
A Broadway musical
Staring Jasmine and Aladdin.
A Yankees game in the Bronx
On a nice sunny day
Mr. Softie drives by
While all the kids play.
A booster on the street
Selling expensive bags for cheap
And Knock off shoes
While he watch out for police.
Knicks game at Madison square garden
Carmelo Anthony hits 30 points
A Rikers island bus
Releasing inmates from the joint.
New York City is my city,
The city everyone wants to meet.
It stays awake as the sun creeps
My city never sleeps.

Corenne Seale Poem
Messy is spilling her drinks in my car
Curious keeps asking me questions
Bossy is telling me ways to go
Because unorganized just lost our directions.
Impatient is complaining she’s tired of waiting
At the red light she’s telling me to go
Vain just took my rear view mirror
To brush her hair real slow.
Excited is jumping up and down in his seat
While discouraged keeps telling him to keep calm
Talkative is telling me a bunch of nothings
While annoying keeps tapping my arm.
I’m on this road, with a bunch of emotions
And I’m lost between my routes
I stop the car in the middle of no where
And I yell “EVERYONE GET OUT”.
“I can’t keep driving in this car full of emotions
And I don’t even know where we are”.
They all start to snicker, I turn around
Sneaky just stole the car.

Corenne Seale Poem
One drink two drink three drink four
Shot after shot, bartender pours and pours
Drown me in my sorrows
Cocktails I need more
Until I’m stumbling to the door
Or drunk passed out on the floor.
Erasing my memories
With every single sip
My body tingling, I’m flirting
With all the waiters on this shift
I’m mingling, I love
All this attention that I get
But deep inside, I almost died
I’m dangling off of a cliff.
I’m drinking I’m drinking
I’m dying with every sip
I’m crying I’m replying
To these messages that I get
I’m drinking to ease my mind
I’m trying with every bit
One drink two drinks
Of Hawaiian Midori sips
But the waiters is going home
The bar starting to close
My memories is coming back
I don’t know how I’m a get home
I call a cab, he takes me away
I’m answering my phone
I tried to escape my memories
But my memories brought me back home.

Corenne Seale Poem
Last night you came to me in my dreams
I felt your little hand, I touched your face
I couldn’t believe you were here with me.
I thought god took you back home
False alarm, you was back in my arms
I held you close to my heart fearfully.
You even cracked your first smile
Your small fingers held my fingers
What a blessing to have you near to me.
Happiest moment of my life
Welcoming my baby girl to the world
As you opened your eyes and stared at me.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, such an angel
I watched you sleep, caressed your arms
So tearfully
I woke up the next day to reach for you
You already made it home
God opened the gates so cheerfully.
I cry every night since you been gone
Everyone sees my sadness
I told them to bear with me.
It was love at first sight, the best
Love I ever felt.
How could I lose someone so dear to me?

Corenne Seale Poem
That love song? So beautiful
The melody ? Outstanding
The way the piano grace my ear drums
And the guitar put a hand in.
The way you sing it, so peacefully
The words just travel right through my soul
It just changes my heart and mind
And keeps my body under control.
It keeps my feet standing, my brain leaves me
As I welcome it with open arms
With this love song, so beautiful
You could never do me any harm.
That love song, that love song
Gave me the best feeling I have ever felt
Until I found out you was singing that same love song
To someone else.

Corenne Seale Poem
They danced all night.
The neighbors could hear
The loud thumping.
They danced all night
He took the lead
And they spanned a thousand times.
The kids watched
From the crack in their bedroom door
So fearful
As they danced.
He grabs her hand, she’s hesitant
She doesn’t know her moves, so evident
So she let him lead as they dance.
He dipped her back
She Slides out of his hands, she falls
While she’s on the floor, she crawls
He whisk her away off the ground
And they continue to dance.
They dance, they dance
Cuts and bruises on daddy’s hands
Rips in mommy’s pants, mommy cries
As they dance through the night.

Corenne Seale Poem
Dear ex,
No. This is not a letter with a whole
bunch of "I hate you's",
telling you how I wish I never met you
asking myself "why did I even date you?"
This is to tell you, thank you!
Thank you for allowing me to
love you you more than I loved myself.
Taking the love I showed you
and given it to somebody else.
Thank you!
Thank you for making me feel low
when I counted on you more than ever.
Breaking me down to my lowest
where I felt the hurt would last forever.
Thank you!
Thank you for ruining me beyond measures,
where I would spend days praying
that my days would get better.
Nights I've cried, asking myself why?
What did I do to deserve this pain?
Was it me?
For my insecurities , it was you I use to blame.
For that, I was foolish.
To think someone was suppose to love me
more than I loved myself.
To think someone who treated me
like you did, would only try to help
fix me while I was broken?
I was foolish.
Thank you!
It only made me understand
and appreciate myself.
Thank you!

Corenne Seale Poem
He bought me a rose today!
Beautiful red rose was his daily routine.
I expected the red rose every day,
that this man loves me , is what it means.
Despite his angry tantrums
where he would curse me, spit
& even choke me until I couldn't breathe
or viciously beat me, kick me
until I crumbled to my knees.
He would bring me a red rose after,
& tell me it would never happen again
and even though I know it was a huge lie
I know it didn't take away the love I had for him.
I didn't want it to end.
He would hurt me continuously
and even hurt me in front of my friend
who would always encourage me to get away from him
but his actions I would always defend.
I just waited for that red rose.
It made me feel like everything would be okay,
I mean, nobody is perfect. Right?
Isn't that what people say?
That red rose meant he loved me
and you may wonder what I said lovED
because now I'm watching him bring me a red rose,
lay it on my casket, from above.
I'm hearing him tell me sorry,
as I watch the tears fall softly from his face.
I forgive him, I know he loves me
because he brought me a beautiful red rose today!

Corenne Seale Poem
Someone please show us the way.
Watching this virus spread like a wild fire.
Watch the politicians argue & bicker over
Personal desires
While more and more peoples lives expire.
More & more each day, watch the ventilators
Breathe their last breath of air
Watch the people, who never believe,
Continue to not care.
And the ignorant souls spit on food – and
Essential items for internet views.
Watch the people perish on
Without being able to have a funeral
And a life that was once beautiful
Basically get flushed inside a urinal.
Watch the nurses & doctors work like magicians
Saving each person one by one
Risking the lives of their husbands, wives
Parents and young.
Today is Wednesday, I think
I don’t even remember, I mean
Look at what this virus has done.
Families not knowing where
Their next meal will arrive,
And us humans walking around with masks
& gloves with the belief
It will keep us alive.
News reporters telling us we can’t go outside.
We are skipping Easter this year,
We will be skipping birthdays as well
Never know the next time I can give
My family a hug and only time will tell.
Social distancing the best way I know how,
Praying this virus just slow down
& eventually just go away,
I don’t know when it will
I couldn’t tell you the time or day
But someone please show us the way.
