Dana Lamb Poems

How do you put it out
Put out
The light in your heart
And ghost-like
...

I dreamed
I was drowning in a swamp
My body slowly sinking
Into dark slimy waters
...

After you left
Twilight days began
The world became a tomb
Where no human voices are heard
...

I whisper prayers to God
Who wouldn’t listen
Because he doesn’t exist
Beautiful vaults
...

Maybe I’d rather be a saint
Detached and unfeeling
Full of potential goodness
Who loves to be tormented
...

My eyelids heavy
Smell of burnt flesh
Blinding light
Piercing the void within
...

Aroma of silvery rain
Intangible
lingering
Evanescent
...

I see a cat
In the pouring rain
Making its way
Through the pools of mud
...

Now that my love for you
Is cinders
I feel such utter loss
Like an earth-bound spirit
...

Cobalt blue sky
Medieval scenery
Lush verdure
Golden locks
...
