Garden by Linda V

And at the end

When I haven’t any need

For this body

I drift up, out, away

Past the people of my memory

Who went before me

Through the deep gentle mist of the next place

Into a garden of roses

Where I sit on a small grey stone bench

And await you

Time has no meaning here

I simply breathe in

The sweet rich aroma of the flowers

Until the mist parts

And you emerge

Addiction by Linda V

She is the moment that I long for

She is lurking in my brain

She is a way to stop the raging

And a way to ease my pain

She is waiting in the shadows

She is just beyond my sight

In the corner of my eye

She is blocking out the light

I am longing for her chill

I am longing to be had

She crawls within my veins

She creeps within my sad

She promises the moon

But she will drop me from the stars

She uses me like yesterday

And my soul will bear the scars

We share this dark sweet moment

When I cannot say no

I know that she will kill me

And yet I can’t let go

With her I can feel safe

Though she spikes my veins with sorrow

I couldn’t live without her

But I may not have tomorrow

 

 

Hello out there

I am a poet, have been since even before I knew much of the world. It is in my blood. I just want a place where I can post all my work so my friends and family have a place to see it. I am a romantic at heart who believes in the power of friendship. I believe in love and I believe that sometimes you have to live through something bad to see the happiness on the other side. My life has had its ups and downs, but I am grateful for every smile, every push and every tear life given me, it has gotten me here. I hope you enjoy the work.

Cheers!
