Uncomfortably Numb
February 1st, 2008 by LyndeeThe double edged knife
Stabbing, piercing, deep
A heart I thought safe with you.

Goodbye
December 17th, 2007 by LyndeeThe candlelight flickers
Exposing all perfections
Of your flawless physique
And eyes of emerald green.
A body I used to hold tight
Give all of myself to
Worship, passionately
And, ache to satisfy.
Only a picture now
Encased in reflective glass
Emitting the same flame that
Once was so evident amongst us.
Oh, the memories linger
The love we shared, and
One we said would never
Fold its wings and die.
It did. So, the picture must go.
I’ve looked at it long enough.
The glass is broken now
Swept away and disposed of.
Goodbye.

“POE”try
November 29th, 2007 by LyndeeA Dream Within a Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet, if Hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it, therefore, the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
- by Edgar Allen Poe
