Linda Harnett Poems

I catch a glimpse in a mirror,
Reflecting a picture of me,
And noticing not quite perfection,
I wonder,
...

Listen to the silence,
Hear it whisper low,
Feel it all around you,
See it softly glow,
...

I spend my time,
When you are gone,
Just listening,
To a favourite song,
...

In grief she wore her sadness like a shroud,
She isolates herself and hides away,
She lived each day beneath the darkest cloud,
For love she lost one tragic day in May,
...

It happened then,
The tenth of June,
I recall now,
They played our tune,
...

There’s nothing like a rainbow,
It takes you by surprise,
When rain makes way for sunshine,
It brightens up the skies.
...

Mother wakes me, with a smile,
Opens curtains, sun is shining,
Have to hurry, get hair done,
Church is booked, be there at one,
...

I once saw love within his eyes,
And felt the breeze of tender sighs,
The all-consuming passion lies,
Discarded with his alibis.
...

I came across a picture,
Two lovers hand in hand,
They’re strolling in the sunset,
Both barefoot in the sand.
...

In dreams, I see your shining light,
Your coloured lilac hue,
A silver cord above your crown,
Connected to the blue.
...
