Felicia Manning Poems

Pretty porcelain doll,

Fragile,
...

God was sad today,
So it rained,
And rained,
And rained,
...

Strip me of my jewels, my clothes, and my name
For these do not make me,
I am my soul, my heart, and my brain.
...

Death,
I once feared you so,
Before learning life is a play,
And we all play
...

Words are just words they say,
They do not matter,
They do nothing,
No,
...

We are all just,
Drip,
Drip,
Dripping away,
...

Beware of the Bushes ahead,
Is what the warning sign read.

But my curiosity,
...

You stole all my smiles away,
There will be no more happiness for me,
Just tears and sadness all day.
...

If you love me,
You will respect me,
You will protect,
And not neglect me,
...

With each day that passes,
I love you more and more,
A passion like ours,
Can't be ignored,
...
