Linda Ori Poems

Let me be your comfort
Let me be your friend
Let your worries flow through me
Let your troubles end;
...

They call it a blonde moment -
A glitch of intelligent thought
I knew what I thought I was thinking
But before I could think, I forgot;
...

Why is the emptiness so cold?
Is it because I'm growing old?
The fire glows in the distance,
Too far away to comfort these old bones;
...

I can't believe you're wearing that!
Your favorite holey shirt,
Your kneeless jeans and sandals
And you've got the guts to flirt!
...

I look in the mirror,
Today it's not kind -
The reflection I see
Wears the change in my mind;
...

Senseless...................
Brothers lost -
Cut down in their prime;
...

It's midnight here in Utah
And the world outside is still
As I sit down at my keyboard to compose -
...

Sprinkle smiles where frowns should be
Yes, life is tough, but so are we -
Dwell too long in misery
And happiness can never be;
...

I'm not the one you long for, that you worship and adore
I'm not the one your heart is crying for
I'm not that pretty sweet young lass that colors all your dreams
I'm not your cute angelic girl next door
...

'Twas a night of full moon splendor
I lay restless in my bed,
A haunting, magic melody
Danced rainbows in my head;
...
