Anna Vera's Poems

Since I remember you, Since I can see A wind blows within you That blows within me; Since I still know you… I finally found you. A long time ago, you Wore music around you. Caught in a spell; Trapped in time, tied You’ve gone through hell Since the first day we died. Before the [...]

Long before Autumn, Long before June, I sent you blue roses Beneath a white moon. Almost six years ago, Under the sky, I watched the stars And I swallowed a sigh. You spoke of sunshine And laughter and life… I remained red-eyed, Saddened with strife. The wind of your woes was As much as I [...]

If you see a sunset, it’s me, smiling From behind it. If I go away far, and you see a star If you find it, I’m inside it. You can fold it, and hold it forever, If you hide it. If our words and worlds sever — if ever I lose you; If two thousand [...]

I thought That I forgot. I thought I left you In my past. Years went by I thought the feeling died Inside At last. Then One day It came to me – So suddenly. So fast. – Written by Anna Williams at Age 22

You dream a dream, And bathe your toes In scarlet flows Of icy streams. It softly glows Upon your knee, For your heart knows A dream is free. It glitters, plays, It makes you smile. You waste all day, You sit awhile. And watch it quote Quite quietly Words you once spoke Defiantly, Before you [...]

In Xinjiang the world is dry. The mountains scrape the bright blue sky With lifeless peaks of solid stone, And I amongst strangers, was never alone. There, the oases , their streets full of trees And bagels and children, were life at its knees… Where things could be bought, where no one had seen Someone [...]

I heard you haunting me. I heard my past, And the wind wanting me. I left at last. I hummed to heaven With little to lose Walking and watching My brown leather shoes, Along Spanish highways, Too tired not to smile. Orchards of olives Draped mile after mile. At the side of the road, With [...]
