Nancy M. Godfrey Poems

(acrostic)

War and poverty throughout each nation
Hellish armies march in formation
...

What does she think-
This woman with the flowing hair
Locked behind the looking glass.
Is this her image for all to see?
...

Silk fabric of thought
Weave words of perfection.
A tapestry laced with life.
From dawn of day
...

Paper doll made of indigo ink
Soul devoid of concealment
Naked and pure.
Reflection of innocence
...

(off the cuff)

I want to absorb
Honey sunlight
...

I open the gates of my being to you
And like the morning tide you flow
towards me.
Deep within my heart I am filled
...

Within the darkest light of day
When minutes stop and seconds
tick slowly away...
Cast behind shadows of gray
...

Blind to the image of a face
painted on a reversible
one-sided canvas.
Intoxicated by willowy
...

Kite made of paper dreams
Glides on breezy gleam
Something in its flight
Clarifies the sight
...

How did you manage to tear down
-Barricaded walls-
Reinforced with steel?
How were you able to dig so deep...
...
