Sandra Osborne Poems

So it’s the late night “lonelies” here again
Sitting and fretting with nothing to say
Sitting in the dark remembering friends,
Swallowing scotch with the devil to pay,
...

You want me to love you,
Like you want me
To love you,
But you don't want me.
...

Love once more
But not as two,
Love me us,
Love me you.
...

The sun is behind the mountain,
Trees black against the red,
Like fingers stretching from red to white.
...

When I was a child,
New and unmolded,
Tomorrow glistened with dew,
A spinning kaleidoscope
...

Lightning flashes,
Rolling thunder,
Australian connections,
A muse down under.
...

Fear,
Tear,
Year,
Clear,
...

A Cigarette,
Burning till the end,
One end a reddened fire
While the other is brown and cool
...

Sharing vices
With friends I love,
Sets me apart,
From the multitudes,
...

A dagger
Deep within
Your spine,
It splinters pain
...
