Two Poems from our Narrative Poetry Collection

 
 
THE CAFE
   
Author: Amanda England
   
Poem:
THE CAFE
   
  Silken strands of moonlight
Twine about her hair--
Lost, apprehensive,
She glances up as he enters the cafe.

This stolen sanctuary,
This tasteless cup before her
Fade in the light
Radiating from his smile.
The room's dimness dissipates,
He illuminates the cobwebs
Tangling her thoughts.
Suddenly, she's free to converse,
And yet, cannot form a thought.
Unable to explain
This mysterious happening,
She simply sits,
Stuttering a shy hello.
His grin lights up his weary face,
And colors her cheeks--
He sits beside her and orders,
Lighting up a cigarette with her consent.
He sees her through different eyes.
She's still unsure of how to react,
But she finds herself beginning to unwind, now,
His presence is a tranquilizer,
His arm around her shoulder,
Is a barrier against fear.
She takes another sip
Of her lukewarm tea,
And smiles, tentatively...

Suddenly, she's beautiful.

He's taken by surprise,
He wasn't expecting this.
She unfolds in his embrace,
Tiny, tightly guarded secrets
Slip out, her tongue loosened.
His gaze is reassuring,
He places his troubles behind him
And holds her as she unwinds...

She thaws in the warmth
Of the fire in his soul...

BROKEN DREAMS
   
Author: Daisy Ching
   
Poem: BROKEN DREAMS
   

I’ve always wanted to be like Frost
And write poems of love long lost
But I question if that can be done
Since I almost failed English 101

Maybe I just wasn’t meant to write
Got to find a new career and change my sight
Writers live like paupers anyway
And nobody really listens to what they have to say

How about a dancer or singer like J. Lo
Traveling the world, nice cars and lots of dough
Who am I trying to fool
I know I ain’t that cool

Maybe I can study real hard and be a nerd
They all become doctors, lawyers, that’s what I heard
But I don’t want to stick no needle in your left cheek
Nor do I want to work 60 hours a week

Maybe I’ll just be an artist, sketching wherever I go
But daddy will never approve, that’s a definite “No-no”
Disappointment, broken dreams and time running out
Frustration pent up inside, I just want to scream and shout

Perhaps I should stop dreaming my life away
And start living as this was my very last day
Why should you care if I trip and fall
This is my life after all
