Summer
Lynnia Aug 2020
Sunshine on my skin
Pavement rippling like waves
Summer's heart is now.

Nighttime Thoughts
Lynnia Jul 2018
another restless night is spent
tearing through my listless day
an Angel from above was sent
she speaks in some uncommon way
our younger selves would never leave
a status quo i cant achieve
this Death is far too old to grieve
we’ve placed our bets—
now who will pay?
I think too much and I can’t sleep, so I tried writing down my train of thought and this is the byproduct. So here you go. It’s your problem now. Happy birthday.

Touch The Sky
Lynnia Jul 2018
In the silver morning light
I make a wish and watch it fly
I dare to hold my daydreams tight
If but for a longing to touch the sky
They guess that I don’t sleep at night
But in my dreams I soar so high
Fulfill my want; bring me your light
I only wish to touch the sky

written.
Lynnia Oct 2018
a life in words,
the edges blurred
sync what you’ve read
with what you’ve heard

though limbs may tire
and mouth’s a liar
the dancing pen
is still on fire

in the Real,
tongue can’t reveal
just what the heart
is prone to feel

yet the ink-stained mirror
makes truth appear
and sets free the doubt
the mind so fears

Louder
Lynnia Mar 2020
Maybe that’s the
Point of all these
Stars as they fall
Louder than me
Even in death
Together they bleed
We all die the same
But they’re better than me.

The Gift of Writing
Lynnia Aug 2020
Writing is a gift
Poetry is a present
Ink and tears mingle,
Bleeding together; released
Soaring on paper airplanes
