Linda Barnes Poems

Reaching out to you
Wanting to hold your hand
You don't respond
Should this be a clue?
...

How did she become
One more in his tryst
Becoming the catalyst
And, no longer welcomed
...

Looking at my reflection
Staring back at me
I am a woman
You might want to meet
...

Two lonely hearts
Lost and abandoned
We stumbled through life
Still stuck in the past
...

I have a place
Separated from all
Secluded from light
Cold and dark
...

I am nothing special
Not inspired by others
Just living a life
So few would notice
...

Lonely as a castaway
Shipwrecked on an island
Left inside my mind
Hoping to be found
...

Once you had my heart
Given to you without promise
Forsaken to this day
Rejected without pain
...

My first memory
Begins as a small child
Feelings of insecurity
Begins to cloud
...

My daughter thanked me
On Mother's Day week
For being her Mother
Giving my love, wisdom and strength
...
