Jo Lynn Ehnes Poems

A friend I cherish sent a gift of love
that slowly crossed the blockade to my core.
Confined, my soul could never rise above
the damage caused by storms from life before.
...

While gliding high above this weary world,
a roving soul collides head-on with mine.
At once my claws, retracted, are unfurled;
instead of battling, though, our hearts entwine.
...

I long for wondrous dreams from days before
when sweet seduction played upon my heart.
The music soothed like waves that brush the shore
and in my soul, enchantment's song would start.
...

Our paths, once joined, have parted ways
yet in the dark your face won't flee.
Your spirit has escaped my days
but in the night you come to me.
...

Awaiting he who cares to find
this special world where hope resides,
the paradise within my mind,
where dreams were long ago defined,
...

A moonless night creates a haze
where lonely timeless spirits dwell.
They wander through their yesterdays
that hold them in eternal hell.
...

Why is it
That I'm always
The one who's
In the wrong?
...

Upon a Harley Chopper he appears;
inviting me to ride into the night.
Entranced within his gaze I have no fears;
I climb behind and clutch his body tight.
...

Alas, my love, I'll wait for thee
until thy heart is whole once more.
Devotion's key will set thee free
amidst the airs of trust to soar.
...

He reached out for my caring hand;
I grasped his tight in mine.
I helped him find a way to stand;
he taught my soul to shine.
...
