Lynne Barker Poems

How do you say goodbye
When you don't want to see it end?
How do you fill the void
when they're more than just a friend?
...

There once was a clerk that wanted to play house.
She grew tired of working and complained to her spouse.
She begged and she pleaded for many a year-
He finally got tired of her bending his ear.
...

Do you ever think of me and let me cross your mind,
Do you ever close your eyes and my face is all you find? Does my voice ever haunt you and call your name out low,
Does the mention of my name make your feelings grow? Do you ever long for the warmth of my touch,
Or want the comfort of my arms that ache for you so much? Do you ever need my should on which to cry?
...
