Pete Rivera Poems

I thought about you
Oh, what a thing to do
We spoke after so long
We had forgotten what we'd done wrong
...

Out the window I see the birds
Can you find the correct words?
Don't answer me if you're not sure
There is quite a lot to learn..
...

She was a young girl
With many hopes and dreams
Or at least
I think so
...

Breathe carefully
In this slowness
I can see clearly
Into the eyes
...

You can see the teardrops
Descend from the mountain tops
And you can feel my heart
As if we were never apart
...

The truth has hid its ugly head from us
And now I'm caught in a lie
Will I die?
A sense of immortality has showed up
...

When you're sad
I'll make you happy
When you're down
I'll bring you up
...

The light that shrouds
My inner soul
Delves within me
And takes control
...

I notice but I turn
From the glimmer in your eye
And I'm afraid that I'll go blind
If I look
...

Do you want to know
When I draw the line
In the shadows
Where can it shine?
...
