Danielle: Poems

Wind

Danielle Jun 2018

Wind

If I call upon the wind,
It’ll dance upwards,
From the sea of green meadows.
From the hallowed arches of the woods.
It’ll dance around me
And cloak me in power.

I finally felt myself one day while on a walk near my home.

Wires

Danielle Oct 2018

Wires

This dancing on wires never ends.
The thrill-seekers wish to see,
The body caught and twisted ‘round,
Lying still in the golden light.

Wishful Thinking

Danielle Mar 2018

Wishful Thinking

You seemed lonely that day,
Or perhaps it was wishful.
Swept free in a crowd.
Surrounded by everything,
And nothing in peculiar,
Reaching out, laughing.

Poem from 2012 about a guy I had a crush on basically forever and we just happened to work in the same building near eachother, but doing different things. He's always been funny and when he laughed I found myself wishing that I could be a part of it.

Would I? Would You?

Danielle Apr 2018

Would I? Would You?

And would I sing a song for you
Quiet soft
Spoken against your heart
That you might know me forever

Would you laugh then
Eyes lighting up
Unspeakable joy sticky sweet on your lips?
That you might know my heart

Would you dream of me
In springtime meadows
Whose tall blades of grass whisper up to the sky
That you might feel me

And would I look into your soul
Look into your heart
And wrap myself in your peace and warmth
That you might feel my love

Something gentle and sad that I wrote at the beginning of a break-up forever ago. But I also feel like it can apply the beginning of a relationship

Wreak

Danielle Oct 2018

Wreak

This wreak of a world can barely sustain me.
And I’m not one to live in fear.

I wanted to add more, but nothing else I added did anything for it, so it is as it is.

Yearning

Danielle Jun 2018

Yearning

Would you dream of me in the space of a breath?

Please say yes.

Short and sweet. Oddly this poem was a pain to write, it's been titled rough start and been sitting in my saved folder for like a year or so. I think it wasn't working because I was trying to add more to it and it didn't need it at all.

Yellow

Danielle Mar 2018

Yellow

To drown in yellows is to stare too long
At those fiercely awkward moments of yours,
But it’s all I can do.
Even as alarm bells ring incessantly, over and over.

A poem that I wrote about a friend one day.
