Linda Ori Poems

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

The night wind moans uneasy
As dying embers leap,
Somnolence enveloping
The chambers of the keep;
...

If I could walk on water
If I could calm your sea
Perhaps you'd take a second chance
And trust your heart to me
...

Pitter patter -what's the matter?
Can't go out and play?
Pitter patter - getting madder -
Hate this rainy day;
...

There is a bond between us
That speaks without a word,
It says how much you mean to me
Is felt, but never heard;
...

As I sit here wondering
The purpose of it all,
Memories envelope me,
Whispers faintly call;
...

How often I refuse to see
The picture as it needs to be,
Caught up in all my needy stuff -
It seems I never have enough
...

Silly girl with your head in the clouds,
When will your feet touch the ground?
You're childish and living in fantasyland,
You may not be mentally sound;
...

If life were a garden................
Mine would be lush and green,
Filled with roses of remembrance,
Snapdragons for my children,
...

What is it about society
That resents authority?
There needs to be structure
Or chaos would rule;
...
