Linda A Poems

what is written in the stars and expanses
is reiterated in your eyes
in the brilliance and wonder of your glances
i can see the dawn rise,
...

resonating deeper then any language can vocalize
i was once told something that i've minded ever since
five terms that don't, as they do, galvanize
the pounds that take way of my shillings and pence
...

we are all fates guests
at it's threshold-ignorant and poor
and destiny doesn't freely bequest
what we have yet to suffer for
...

My fate's a fortress as tall as the sky
I wonder its walls like some lowly wall fly
Here I exist and here also will die
Who I am and the reasons why
...

I met a man one cold winter day
Who spoke to me in an unfamiliar way
He was so humble that I grew hopeful
I was just waiting on this man to make it vocal
...

I know the true meaning of autonomy
It isn't written in any colonialist's decree
I'm not my farther - i'm no refugee
You'll never see me livin a predetermined destiny
...

Every noise I hear sounds like a bomb going off inside my ear
Any word you could possibly utter surely can't make it past the clutter
But you keep talkin as if words are food and you are starved
I swear some huge kinda whole in my being you have carved
...

i dont remember the day i began despising my existence
i do know i showed little resistance
bidding adieu to the remnants of my innocence
knowing my farewell wasn't by coincidence
...

I underestimated the search
and came out a fool
I looked for answers everywhere
and everywhere found ghouls
...

I don't want this anymore
I want to let it go
I'm not who I was before
I have to show you so you know
...
