Alex Walker Poems

If I were You and You were Me!

If I were you and you were me,
What would I see?
...

I have a bad case of writer's block,
so I keep watching the clock.
Hoping for an idea to show,
wanting these words to flow.
...

Forever frozen in place am I,
as still and quiet as a night-time sky.
In a time of peace and serenity,
forever frozen is this sweet entity.
...

I'm not okay,
no, not today.
I'm terribly sad,
and a bit mad.
...

The last poem I wrote,
ended on a sad note.
So I thought I'd write one more,
that the reader might adore.
...

I’m falling down, from the highest building.
As I begin my fall, I shine out like the city lights.
I feel you, watching me, like I am one of those beautiful lights.
I want you to reach out and grab me, make me your light.
...

Where am I?
Am I in the sky?
I am not here,
and I am not there.
...

I can see it now,

your face in my mind.
...

You take my breath when you smile,
you stop my heart when you look my way.
I've felt this way for a while,
but still there is not a word I can say.
...

My love so sweet, my love so dear,
I must give you the news that I know you fear.
My love is now growing, blooming as a flower,
but in another direction, and I have no power.
...
