I am Leigh, and I am a poet. My poetry page is currently under construction, but the link will be posted when I am done messing with it. Until then, read two of my poems that were featured on Mainstreet:


Raining Memories

Tell me, was it raining when you decided to think of me?
This is the kind of weather that makes me want to make love to you all night long.
To quote Kenny Chesney: 'I hear you laughing in the rain.'

I see myself walking out your door,
But you're not coming after me.
Lightning 'bout to strike me
As a not-so-friendly reminder I need to put my thoughts somewhere else.

The rain falling brings a smile to my face.
I don't have to cry
Because I know someone up there is doing it for me.
Tell me, was it raining when you decided to think of me?

The Ledge

This is not fair;
Don't begin with the line that life isn't supposed to be.
For years I’ve wanted to step away from this ledge forever,
Leave it behind,
Pretend it means nothing to me,
But this ledge has made me;
Left it a few times, but the time apart only made me want it more.
I can't leave it,
It won't leave me;
I'll only jump if the voice tells me to.
What is at the bottom?
I don't know,
But I know what's behind me.
You say I've put myself in this corner,
That you have no responsibility.
Sometimes I think I’m standing on this ledge,
Other times, I think I'm sitting.
And where are you?
You are flying.

This is not fair;
Don't begin with the line that life isn't supposed to be.
Can't I fly, too?
Yes, I want your disease;
There is no ledge for you.
