I Shall Not Meet Your Steady Eyes
i shall not meet your steady eyes
nor listen to your silent cries
love me, love me, love me, love me
or else i'll surely die
i've believed your eyes too many times
only to get disappointment in return
so i shall pass by quietly
lest i once again get burned
Faith Elizabeth Brigham

I Shall Want Need Nothing
i shall want
need nothing
no, as i thee wed
amongst this
black-red flower bed
and with
this ring i,
thee, we are one
to life
i am yours
and yours a wife
bright sun less
warm than our love
and smiles bright
upon us. upon all
come we before
night it is

I Write
i write because
i reside in
a world of words
cut from
a different cloth
i view life
through a
poet's eyes
i'm a seer
a seeker of
beauty and truth
i have something
to say and
i am driven
to say it
i write
because writing
is in my blood
and i can not
not write
it's such a
part of me
i write
about raw reality
and the things
i see aren't
always pretty
writing as though
my very life
depends on it
and some days it
is the total truth

If Only
i will be awake
before the morning light
wishing you were
here by my side
as always you will
be the first thing
i will think
about when i arise
i never say
i love someone
if it isn't so
but you have gone
and now you will
never know how
my feelings
for you forever grow
there isn't
a day that goes by
i don't
think about your
engaging smile
how you walked
the way you talked
and how you loved me
if only for a while
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
