Sandra Osborne Poems

Reality seems
To sparkle,
Out there
Beyond my reach.
...

Yellow
Mountains of dreams
And Gods
Who make us feel;
...

How can I fathom it?
Death. Loss. Gone, forever. Forever, gone.
Pain so hard that screaming does not help,
Shaking and trembling with a hard, hollow, shaking aching.
...

I sit here alone
Safe in my house,
...

I remember,
Time,
The past,
And pain.
...

Sometimes I wonder,
When I kiss you,
When I'm near you,
Is peace real?
...

Do you see the window,
.....underneath the tree?
Do you see the sunshine
.....floating on the sea?
...

The pat, pat, pat,
Of falling rain,
A radio's quiet reflection,
A small scared dog,
...

People.
All images
Imagined and unseen.
...

Proud to be in pain,
Scared to set it free.
Holding to shackles,
I am armored.
...
