Linda Ori Poems

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;
...

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
...

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,
...

If I should stay another day
I'd lose myself in you -
Not that that would be a crime
But I've got things to do;
...
