Lydia Martin Poems

What the eye can see, is it really there?
Where are the clouds on sunny days
When dew buds glisten wet with haze?
Is there really a lark in the clear air?
...

Dusty lanes like roads once travelled
Hold lasting lines of seamless dreams.
Paths of hope and future fancies
Twist and wind like rivers and streams.
...

Starburst shine
Through the furnace within.
Rhythms of flashdance
Steal away my soul.
...

A sea of tears cannot flood an empty heart.
An empty heart cannot hold enemy blood.
Blood of the enemy will never run dry.
...

Red roasted rarities
Deliciously dripping
With anonymous sauces.
Salubrious Salmon
...

Summer moods
Of swinging sister
Deliver smiles
Of red and gold.
...

Black star bolt
Clap of light
Trigger of day
Paling with night.
...

Rise up and strike like cavernous fire
As dust dawns on a distant setting moon;
Drag your feet from the grip of life’s mire
...

When you open the box what do you see?
Four walls and a door without any key…..
When you reach inside and search more deeply
Don’t listen for the sound of emptiness….
...

Destruction deluding sound.
Denuded of pulsing life.
Lost fragrance
Of spirits foundation.
...
