About this ebook
Amy Gorman
Amy Gorman was born and raised on the West Coast; more to the point, she is a Californian girl through and through. She is the Creator’s daughter, and creative bubble of expression. She is a writer, a painter, a sculptor and a designer. Amy has collected these poems from her notebooks over the last eight years. In a way, Amy has been writing this book for eight years. She hopes that her readers will find something within the pages that speaks to them on a personal level. That these attempts at writing will be the words to speak for someone who cannot find their own words is a far reaching goal, but one that Amy would love to achieve. “Thank you for taking the time to share “My World” with me.” -Amy Gorman

MY SECRET BOOK
My book of secrets
Hidden within me
Forming thoughts
Keeping them secret
Locked far away
All my feelings
Felt all in secret
Wanting to record them
In my secret book
Don’t want to hide
Not anymore now
Wanting you to see me
To share it all
Read my book of secrets
GOING HOME
the light fading
no shining sun here
fallen behind the trees
gazing upwards
clouds passing overhead
tree tops dancing
the wind cries
weeping to be so alone
roll over in the dirt
damp of fallen leaves
pillowing my tears
caressing the decay
fingers trace hard stone
rising up I breath in
the smell of death
old death and new
softly gliding fingers
brush her hair back
those eyes of diamonds
half-closed in sleep
tear trails shimmer
she wept to be so alone
one time she was warm
time has cooled her blood
she stretches out here
guardian of sorrows
flesh melded stone now
amber stains this stone
rusting the dagger
I know why she cried
the sorrow that stains
as I rise the moon rises
moonlight spills over
lighting her through me
she was myself once
weeping to be so alone
turning to the waiting arms
running to him at last
I weep at last to be at home
