Lorraine Licona Poems

Take me away
to a warm summer breeze
where the fragrance of the red roses bloom
under a midnight moon
...

He kissed his wife and children goodbye
and with nothing more than the clothes on his back
began his long journey to a better life
...

As I watch you cry
Tears rolling down your cheek
I wondered
if for just one moment
...

Talking to you
I feel my heart opening like a flower
allowing my feelings
to finally escape
...

I can’t imagine life without you
You have become a part of me
Without you I would not exist
Your life moves within me
...

The battle-cry went out
and they marched in obedience
for the opportunity
to defend their country
...

As I watched you lying there
bathed in morning sun
skin shimmering in rainbow colors
hair touched with gold
...

What will I do when you take away the music
When all I'll have left will be the silence
screaming in my head?
...

The dark tunnel of depression closes in
like the night
Suffocating me, squeezing and crushing my heart
as it’s black walls press against my body
...

I stood at the edge of the world
and looked deep into the chasm
which was like my heart -
an endless pit of fear and darkness
...
