Mary E-A. K. Remaniak Poems
Hidden Princess
She wears her robes sparingly,
Shut out from the rest of the world.
Hidden beneath a commoner's garb
Is the crimson and purple cloth
Of royalty...banished from a democracy.
Yet she still hopes... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating:  Tears End
Cleansing rain beats upon the earth
Washing stains away.
The tear-trails left upon my face
As I look towards the sky
Are erased...
The dark nights I spent alone
Have turned to lighter days.
So... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: The Bay Bridge During a Storm
The horizon ceases to exist.
The line between sky and water
Is blurred as the greyness
Swallows up all signs of life.
Distant whitecaps barely visible
Are the only thing
That shows where the... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Weeping Walls
The contrast in temperature
Makes them perspire,
Dripping unseen except to those
Brave enough to reach into the depths
That cry cold tears.
The inside warm and sorrowful
To an extent that's... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Realization
Speeding through life in a silver shell
With the wind blowing past causing suffocation;
Shaking from a chill that burns as it comes
Yet warm from the thrill of the ride.

Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Dungeon of Hope

Leaving bright red marks on the pale flesh.
Backed against the cold stone,
She asked for this... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Not Perfect
Look past the face.
Look past the shell.
Don't see how I show myself.
If you'd look more closely,
You'd see the lines
That tell a tale of suffering.
A roadmap marked in white on tan
That tells... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: The Old Well
Crimson streams run down the hillside
Where once happy children played.
Green grass grew and sunshine smiled,
Now thorny roses grow and skies are grey.
The old well up top has burst its seams
And... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Because of What You Did
She walks down the hallway
At her school everyday.
The fingers and the voices
Always come her way.
Shoved into a locker,
Red marks left on her back.
“I don’t want to make trouble,
No one knows... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Invisible Girl
Flip your hair,
Flash a smile,
Laugh it off.
Show them you don’t care.
They’re only them.
It doesn’t matter.
But tension’s in the air.
Invisible girl,
That’s what you are.
How long will it... more
