Finally

Anna — Mon, 11 May 2009 23:54:40 +0000

For a long time I have wanted to have my own personal blog which would contain only my own poetry, my photographs, and even maybe some of my thoughts. I have several poetry websites which contain my own poetry, as well as poetry written by others. But, until now, I have never had [...]

Someone Else’s Crime

Anna — Fri, 09 May 2008 17:58:00 +0000

This poem was written for Blogging for Human Rights Day in May 2008. It is about injustice. Someone Else’s Crime I will grow tomatoes When you’ve set me free. I will live at home in peace Where all will let me be. I will wake up cheerful In the morning to the sun. I will feel at peace at last, Once my Freedom’s won. I have [...]

I Thought I Was Winning

Anna — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 20:42:00 +0000

I thought I was winning I thought I could wait - Holding the doors Of the rickety gate, While the enemy thundered And heaved at the stakes I always just wondered How long it would take. And you said you would come Just as soon as you could, That the moment should be When the moment was good. Well the moment has passed And its passing today, I’m not [...]

Where is the Cavalry

Anna — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:15:00 +0000

Where is the cavalry I’m all alone Standing at ramparts Of crumbling stone. And my back wants to break, My head wants to scream. Let me awake From this maddening dream. The ramparts are shaking The bricks want to fall My spirit is breaking I can’t hold them all … Please don’t forsake me, Please come and fight. Please come and wake me Deep in the night. Tell me its over, Sing [...]

The Story of the Pug

Anna — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 14:10:00 +0000

Once there was a little pug, She snapped and snarled at every thug. She had a brain, the thugs had none, For they were crass and crude and dumb. But when they gathered with their clubs, She ran away, that little pug. She ducked for cover, panting hard And peered out with a pounding heart. And when her master wasn’t near, She shook and [...]

The World’s Gonna Die if

Anna — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:00:00 +0000

The worlds gonna die, If you don’t go away. It doesn’t matter if I cry You have to go away. I can scream For death and hell; It doesn’t go away. I can dream That all is well. It doesn’t make you stay. Damn the world, Your wife needs you too Tell them to go away. Damn the truth, The world’s gonna die If you don’t go away. Written by Anna [...]

Please Miss Your Plane

Anna — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 14:08:00 +0000

Please miss your plane. I’m breaking glass Inside my head. If I bang my head Hard enough And long enough Into the wall, If I throw enough jars Around my room And crash them into Shards and hell, Would you make This be a dream. Wake me up. And then I’ll say “I had a dream, You had to go.” And let me curl And hold you. Warm, protecting, safe, and strong. “I had a [...]

The Divorce

Anna — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 00:16:00 +0000

Keep safe distance. Cite your claims. Let the fog Enshroud your shame. Yield no whisper Of remorse, Give no sign That you endorse The fables of The ancient wives, Who kept their men And lived their lives .. The crossing bears No one-way bar. But shut your eyes, And touch your scar, Remember what The madman said. You just live once, And then you’re dead, And happiness Is all a myth, The road ahead Is clouded with Monstrosities Who can’t [...]

You Breathe

Anna — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 23:35:00 +0000

You breathe at night. It makes me smile. You sing to me, And for a while, My heart feels calm, My feelings clear; The world seems simple, When you’re near. - Written by Anna Williams at age 32

I Wish My Husband Were Online

Anna — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 06:09:00 +0000

I wish my husband were online If he were here, I would be fine. I wish he would turn on his phone. I sit at night, I’m all alone. I wish he would come home to me. Its been a year, too long, you see. I can not bear another day. I wish he hadn’t gone away. And when I cry, he can’t [...]
