Nora Griffin Poems

So many words,
But no sounds to hear,
Only leading to conflict and fear.
Nothing but silence,
...

We have not known each other long,
But from what I've seen I've grown so fond.
You've left an impression on this heart,
But the more I love the more we part.
...

Late at night,
A blinding light,
Seeks in through my open window.
...

I see myself, a broken thing,
A sunken bird whose voice won’t sing.
In dreams and hopes I lack so much,
A jagged heart too sharp to touch.
...

Just a question I ask of him,
Not very much a simple thing.
Not very long or too hard to task,
This simple question is all I ask.
...

Here it is, our empty home,
The only place where we are alone.
It's bitter, dark, lifeless and cold,
The only place where my thoughts unfold.
...
