Kathy Williams Poem
They say she was six
Seductive beyond her years
Hidden behind her childs eyes
A sea of silent tears
What a pretty little girl
They all used to say
Look as she walks
Her hips seem to sway
Someday she’ll be a model
Or a big runway star
With a look like that
She’s sure to go far
Walk like this, baby
And talk like that
Bow to the man honey
He puts the money in the hat
It wasn’t long
Before all knew her name
The pretty little girl
Playing a grown-ups’ game
No time for dolls
Her mother always said
With the price they pay
We can keep us all fed
Now you know, baby
You can’t go out and play
You have to sit for photos
With the nice men today
It’s ok sweet one
Show a little leg
It’ll make the nice men
Stand up and beg
Her soul had been sold
By the time she was ten
The life of a child
She’d never have again
She’s all grown up now
Feeling alone and abused
The marks on her arms
Tell of the things she’s used
Just one more fix
And the pain will go away
She’ll be alright now
Amy died today….

Kathy Williams Poem
Borrowed words
From a borrowed time
A borrowed love
That could never be mine
Stealing a kiss
Taking a chance
Wishing on stars
Longing for romance
Knowing what’s right
Wanting what’s wrong
Finding some comfort
In another’s song

Kathy Williams Poem
Father please forgive him
For once again he’s sinned
The words come all too easy
It’s as if they’ve been penned
Sing praises of Hail Mary
One so full of grace
It only takes a penance
To free him from this place
Locked inside a darkness
His soul begs to be well
While he is granted forgiveness
Another’s soul resides in hell
Having wiped his hands clean
And his secret safely locked away
He remains free to sin again
Another victim, another day
Suffer the little children
Unto him they shall come
But it is the demon in disguise
They need protection from
Hiding behind the collar
Shielded by our laws
Another child is molested
Still religious order has no flaws…

Kathy Williams Poem
You wait for her to reveal
The truths hidden behind her lies
You watch her in a silence
Removed from her disguise
Her strengths no longer shadowed
In her weaknesses flare
She’s musing again, it seems
Her darkest secrets, bare
Were they ever hidden
Or were you just blind
Questions you ask yourself
As you search for peace of mind
You hate that you wonder
What it could have been
Had she not belonged
In another mans den
Angry at yourself
For wanting to touch her still
A hunger locked deep inside
That only having her can fill
Somewhere in the madness
The faint hope for a taste still shines
And you watch her closer still
Trying to read between her lines.

Kathy Williams Poem
Piece by piece
Till nothing’s left to hide
My mystery unfolded
Stripped of foolish pride
Bare naked skin
Emotions jagged and raw
You wouldn’t quit
Till you had it all
Look deep into my eyes
It’s all there for you to see
What stands before you
Is undeniably me
No pretense or game
Visibly shaking
Constraints removed
Ripe for the taking
Is this what you wanted
What you needed to see
The freedom to enter
Inside without boundary

Kathy Williams Poem
Shut your eyes, listen
Can you hear the waves rolling in
The sun feels so good
As it dances on my skin
The air, freshly scented
Like a soft summer rain
Takes me to places
Far away from the pain
Warm breezes caress me
Gentle, like your touch
Reminding me of what
I’ve been missing so much
While I watch the sun rise
Then slowly it sets
I think of the things
I’ll never forget
The birth of my children
The smile of a friend
The way my soul feels
When touched by your hand
The taste of your lips
Sweet as honey wine
The melodies I see
When we combine
The distance doesn’t matter
When we are apart
You will remain forever
Always within my heart

Kathy Williams Poem
His love healed her
When her soul had died
He beckoned her tenderly
Till she could no longer hide
In a time of struggle
When the lights were grey
His soft pleading
Made her stay
His practice of what is
And what should not be
Gave her the courage
To set herself free
He entered her life
Like a gentle sigh
She grew to love him
As time went by

Kathy Williams Poem
While life dreams of satisfaction
In muted shades of red and gold
Jaded hearts burst with emotion
And souls are bought and sold
My memories hang in shadows
Like stains on an ancient wall
The silent screams can be heard
As the moon begins to fade and fall
A finger of somber discontent
Jabs at an inflamed archaic pain
Seeking the darkened passion
That once nearly drove me insane
In an everlasting capricious sleep
Deep within the catacombs of my mind
I search in vain for a final peace
To which it seems, I’m blind
How can one possibly desire
That which hurts so much
I pray in the darkness that he never sees
Just how much I crave his touch

Kathy Williams Poem
You entered my life
Like a soft gentle rain
There was no agenda
You had nothing to gain
You made me feel liked
Even valued at times
You were simply my friend
In spite of my crimes
We flirted and teased each other
Throughout some of the days
Sometimes we just chatted
When we had nothing to say
I cherish the way you’ve trusted me
With the secrets that you’ve shared
About your wants and needs
About for whom you’ve cared
I know it wasn’t easy
Letting go of my past
You could have walked away
Left me standing as an outcast
For this I am grateful
And always will be
You gave the greatest gift
You liked me, for me
