Marnie O'Brien Poems

I’ve seen my Dark Mistress
Force wheels to the sky.
Caressed her cheek
Before closing her eyes.
...

Settle me down
To the last hour of the day.
To when the anxious moment’s lift’d,
And I can still see your face.
...

I’ll keep your pebble in my pocket,
For there are larger stones to throw.
Gladly fall to sacrifice,
For a scarcely pioneering blow.
...

Could not breath in your presence,
Nor could I utter a sound.
Wind stolen from my sails,
Til helplessly run aground.
...
