Scattered Reflections (Lynn Long)

My Muse

Words ebb and flow

With the tides I watch them go

From me to you and back again

You are my muse…

My sometimes friend

And when we speak

My heart awakes

A floods released

Words cascade

Into the river far below

Spilling forth, they free the soul

Alas, my words will have to keep

As silence takes me back to sleep

Lost in dream I await

For my muse- ever late…

New Love

Let me wander

Through the caverns

of your soul

And I’ll give you

my heart

To eternally hold

Let me explore

Just a while

Drifting in your kiss

Upon true loves Nile

Let me soar

Beyond the night

To return once more

A Phoenix

In flight

And let us fall

Again and again

Into the abyss

Deep within

Letting Go

A melancholy moment

with the rising of dawn

A sense of clarity

come and gone

For I’ve said goodbye

again and again

In tears that won’t flow,

for you, my friend,

Yet, the soul cries

liar, and I cannot

deny, the feelings

of longing deep

inside…

But, my heart,

my heart-

speaks a truth

the soul does

not know

It is time the

heart whispers,

to just let

go…

In the Silence Heard

Her canvas

His words

Together-

come to life

in the silence

heard…

Painted in loves

true rarity

Alive with

vibrant clarity

Her canvas

His words

Resound in the

silence heard…

Quiet Storm

His roar is thunder

Hushed by the rain

Hers the howling wind

Quieted in storm’s betray

And in their stillness of

destruction and disarray

Love is not yet conquered,

but in the silence made
