Lora Colon Poems

You are my love, guardian of my heart,
Providing your strength when I'm weak;
You are my voice when I cannot talk,
You're the words that I cannot speak
...

This thirst for love is my heart's torment,
How can I calm these raging fears
When the fire of love's thirst burns like the sun,
And the blaze is stoked by my tears?
...

At times, the sky appears so lonely,
Dressing in its many shades of blue,
And at night wearing a veil of black,
Is it mourning for love it once knew?
...

The blessed days have come and gone,
No more is my path strewn with petals,
I wander the Forest of the Damned,
My feet treading on thorns and nettles
...

Long ago, pride was abandoned,
A beggar I was from the start;
A drop of love, a flake of romance
Will sustain this starving heart
...

We're walking together, there's a mention of weather,
But the subject quickly changes to 'Why';
And while we are walking, I'm doing all the talking,
Desperately trying to coax a reply
...

He navigates the deep, dark rivers
Of my stormy soul;
When I'm headed down a ruinous path,
He steps in and takes control
...

I can't get away from the loneliness,
It hangs over me like a cloud,
It follows me like a stray, hungry dog,
It waits for me in the crowd.
...

The moon's like a lantern
In the midnight sky;
Its light is reflecting
In your sad grey eyes,
...

The morning's dew moistens my eyes -
No, these are not tears that you see!
(Cleverly we learn to mask our pain
When Love's not what it pretends to be)
...
