Linda Ori Poems

I should have seen the signs -
Your need to control all things
Your ego running rampant
You're such an important figure
...

How perfectly they stand aligned
In geometric form designed
To please the eye, but not the mind -
So many side by side;
...

How exactly did this happen?

You come to me after all this time
Ripe with emotion and passion -
...

I hold within my trembling hand
This gift
So rare, so contraband -
I dare not take it lightly, 'though
...

What lurks behind those eyes of blue?
What mysteries do they hold?
Those smokey, dreamy bedroom eyes
So sensual and bold;
...

Along this cosmic filament
Flows wisdom, subconscious awareness -
From one corner of the world to another,
Differences dissolve into realization
...

The busy spider spins his web
Behind the outhouse door
While lazy shadows lengthen
On the dusty wooden floor;
...

I dreamed of you again last night
As I lay upon my bed,
A passionate, exotic dream
Unraveled in my head;
...

Come to my calling,
Come to me now -
Sprinkle soft kisses
Here on my brow;
...

Black was always your favorite color...................
Like the inkwell that beckons the pen
Like the night spangled with a million stars
Like the sleek machine your ego rides
...
