Shaquana Adams- Two Poems

Sometimes

Sometimes I forget that I can't see you smile anymore

Sometimes I forget that I can't tell you a joke

Sometimes I forget that I can't hold you anymore

I love those moments

...and I hate those moments.

A touch of serenity 

The best days are the 

ones without pain or 

Insane conflict. I’ll

wake up and not 

even stress the

past, present, or

The post-present.

Today is 

one of those 

days. I sit 

down on a

comfy chair

and laugh at 

the memories

that haven’t gone 

sour, at the few 

disasters

mastered, at 

life’s often

obtrusive

obstacles.

And I smile at the

crazy mistakes that 

are finally not 

mine, the bamboozled 

person I once was,

the lovely lady

in the once very 

slick dirty mirror.

Today 

God 

must

have 

took 

his

finger 

to 

my

heart 

and 

simply

said

 “be 

happy”.
