Jo Lynn Ehnes Poems

I've cast away my pain
upon this ruby bed.
'Twas here my heart was slain;
for love it wept and bled.
...

A butterfly of vibrant blues
rested upon the railing
hugging my front porch.
...

A silence overwhelms my thoughts
As words disperse through tears
And emptiness augments within
This mind consumed by fears
...

I stood there naked
Filled with doubt
Ashamed of what
The mirror held
...

Behind a door inside my mind,
the one I've colored garnet red,
are lovers that my heart designed
to stroll through dreams where passion's fed.
...

Amidst the ebon of my lonely room
I feel a covert brush across my face.
The phantom from my dreams disrupts the gloom,
which terminates despair's profound embrace.
...

Demons in the night,
thriving on my plight.
Haunting in my sleep,
fear they've come to reap.
...

Deep in a dream
I saw you there
I'm sorry
Couldn't help but stare
...

I sit here in silence
remembering the times
his muse took a moment
to cuddle with mine,
...

Diamond lights sparkle
in tranquil blue eyes;
softly inviting,
'come closer...closer.'
...
