Lynn Grassette Poems

How many nights do I have to hope?
Silently, quietly, and all alone
How much hurt will penetrate this dark?
(Seeping through skin, desecrating my heart)
...

Twenty years from this day
When we've gone separate ways
When all is grown, all has changed
And time causes feelings to fade
...

Familiar drops
Drip from my eyes,
And skies are lit
Like lantern lights
...

i miss you
though it's only been seven hours,
if only to feel that substance again;
that intoxicates me,
...

“I...” he stutters
I just stare at him

“I....’ he stumbles
...

Water washes,
Repeatedly over stones,
Gently turning them to sand;
Specks upon this land
...

I think I've been in love with you
Since the dawn of love first bloomed
For as long as the wind has whispered words;
Conversing with the moon
...

Morning is a rude awakening
to the 100 thread count sheets
and the lover I know will leave
Though maybe some coffee, or black tea,
...

Colors turn from orange to dark purple
The mountains emphasizing the shades
Covering my eyes from the brilliance
I sigh, another wonderful day.
...

As if,
This love was just a trip;
You pack all your things
When the wind sadly shifts
...
