Short Poems from Abroad

I came across some short poems I had written during my college study-abroad time in Austria...They were in a journal in my bedside table, so long unread.  Ah, youth :) Here is a sampling. See what you think! 

Mistake

You seemed so unlike a lie to me

that I stepped in your puddle

and drowned.

Heart Ache

A smile remembered

like a lighter

sparks

this loved-rolled

cigarette into 

incendiary ashes.

Poem

Of what I thought

I knew of love,

I know I loved

the thought.

Perhaps

If a whisper could resound across the ocean,

And a dream was a thought to be shared,

Would I still hear Silence?

Await

You are waiting in the wide Somewhere

for a small girl woman to recognize

a searching heart and call it her own,

for Part Two of your soul's novel.

Just Grand

Where have all my echoes gone?

You are the sponge at the 

bottom of my canyon.

So Sue Me

Perhaps I don't 

ring your bell

curl your toes

make your day --

Am not your

dreamgirl,

cup of tea,

chick -- 

I laugh aloud

at the cold night sky

while you sleep.
