Words Poem by Linda Ori

Words

Rating: 5.0


Words of love still haunt me so
From long forgotten days of old -
Endearments that I used to know
Still deep within my heart I hold;

Sweet memories of softer times
When eyes spoke more than tongue,
You sang to me sweet words and rhymes
Of days when we were young;

My heart is filled with longing now
My soul lies unfulfilled -
To mend the wound I know not how
The memories now are stilled;

I cannot live another day
Oh, hear my mournful plea -
Come now my love, for this I pray
Return your words to me.

It would be a cold, deaf ear that could ignore such a plea. Danny

Love is a haunt if you ask me. It rattles chains in the middle of the night.

Deeply moving poetic statement of devotion. Fluidly and tenderly written. The work of a sincere professional. xx jim
