Mary E-A. K. Remaniak Poems
Acid Pearls
Something different in the rain
That slowly beats upon my face.
Something changing, never the same
In the droplets I now taste.
Pearls marred by streaks of pink.
Pearls with enamel worn off in... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating:  Deathly Air
Soaring above the immediate world,
Singing to the music of the earth,
Dancing to the melody found in the wind
As it quickly rushes past....
90 is fast but not fast enough

Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Deathly Air
Slowly the river sinks into the ground.
Gently the breeze stops blowing.
Quickly the ground freezes over hard.
Ice comes with the winds of change.
Blue lips and grey cheeks exist at night

Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Her Eyes
They glitter like diamonds under sun,
Shine brighter than any star.

Afraid of what I’ll see,
Afraid of what... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Child of Sadness
Hidden in the darkness,
No one knows she's there

Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Fire Bath (Anthem)
This familiar burning
I grew accustomed to.
This pain and aching
That I took for granted.

I'd hoped it'd not come back.
Even as the blazing fires burn around... more
Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Hollow Eyes
Beyond the face that stares out at you,
Beyond the deep brown pools of blue,
Beyond the blackness and the light,
Beyond the frozen chill of night.
Behind these hollow eyes is seen
A mystery of... more
