Linda Ori Poems

In the darkness of your sorrow
In the emptiness of grief
When the hope of understanding has gone dim,
From a realm beyond the senses
...

The river of time keeps on flowing
O'er wishes and dreams gone unknown,
The worst thing is wanting and knowing
Endearments that never were shown;
...

My heart I place upon the line,
Not knowing is the worst -
Have I the right to want for more,
Or if I do, be cursed?
...

Fathers come and fathers go
But this I have to say -
My father may be dead and gone
But I love him to this day;
...

What is that incessant noise?
Irritatingly interrupting my sleep,
Unravelling the edges of a dream.
Slowly I swim to the surface of reality -
...

Remember old Ichabod, last name of Crane
The gangly schoolmaster - some thought him insane
He went to a party on All Hallows' Eve
What happened that night is still hard to believe;
...

Sentiments in bloom
Blossom from my golden pen -
Fragrant petals strewn
...

While lying in a summer field
The sunlight warms my skin,
Bright clouds play hide and seek around
Their hidden shapes within;
...

You brought your light into my world
When life was cold and gray,
You taught me how to change my tune
From sad to light and gay;
...

I used to be the one you chose
To tell your troubles to,
I listened to your heartfelt words
When you were down and blue;
...
