Linda Barnes Poems

As we reflect
On roads we traveled
Would we have driven
The path before after
...

I look to my childhood
There is not what seems
A man that I knew
My father, was he
...

Your voice resounds
In my dreams at night
A picture emerges
Of conversations we had
...

I will leave this Earth
With a broken heart
Of all I have seen
And all that is not
...

As this year comes to a close
I remember those who are not here
I hold close all of those I love
While letting go of those I don't
...

Have you ever wondered
What it's like
To kiss a woman
And know it's right
...

The fluttering I felt
Deep inside my soul
Perfection of warmth
Surrounded in Love
...

Meeting her for the first time
Feelings of vulnerability
Her need to protect from harm
For those she holds dear
...

I sit on the bed
Watching you pace
Explaining to me
Why I should stay
...

I see you look at me
With an intense stare
Am I familiar to you
Or just a passing dare
...
