AND THE SAGA CONTINUES...
Never Tell
by tamara peterson

Retreat
Like bird of flock
From many who adorn
Your secrets that withheld inside
To keep

Insane
by tamara peterson

My mind
A swirlin' pool
of thoughts to be and not;
I do not not know when i shall know
And not.

Never Again
by tamara peterson

Slipping
Slowly through your
Fingers... no more grasping
On to all the dreams that never come
To be.

The Woman I Am
by Glen Allen

The woman i am
     hides deep in me
Beneath the woman
     i seem to be.

she hides away
   from the stranger's eye
she is not known
    to the passer-by.

she goes her way,
    the woman i seem,
but the woman i am
    withdraws to dream!

the woman i seem
    goes carelessly -
when love goes by
    does not seem to see.

but the woman i am
    knows sudden fear...
and hides more deeply
    when love draws near!

for love might look closely
    perhaps... and see
her beneath the woman
    i seem to be!

(although this is not a piece that i wrote, i feel that i can relate to this poem)



A Poem To A Friend
by tamara peterson  april 22, 1996

Never, never look at my eyes!
They'll tell you things that i dispise.
They're things i think, i must disguise
my eyes from you, my dear!

Never, never look at my eyes!
They'll tell you things you'll want to hear,
So look at my nose, my mouth, my ears,
But never, never look at my eyes!          
(my friend from hi-skewl lives by this poem!)
