Sandra Osborne Poems

Purple, red, silver
Golden threads of time,
Why do you pass so slow?
Why do you create things
...

Would you mind
If I used your world
To crush all the laughter,
To feel the angels cry,
...

Absolution
I need to feel it
I need to wash
My sins away.
...

Convinced herself,
She made it known:
That she is smart,
That she is brave,
...

Now I's gots all fours and fives
But it brings me moes mo strength
Makes me precerate doze sixes mo,
An it duz doze fives mo, too.
...

It’s OK to understand
How you feel,
To strive like a comet
Getting closer to your light.
...

Artillery shells
Go off in my world,
Explosions since
I was first a girl
...

Does it worry you now?
It did not before,
When you did not know,
Why now?
...

Darkest of night
Live to be right,
Where, oh God, is love tonight?
I think of a time, gone far away,
...

Gibblely gobblely, give me a 'one'.
Well this is a REALLY BAD ONE, you know.
...
