Lora Colon Poems

Like a tidal wave you came to me
And carried away my heart,
Como te quiero, mi marinero,
You won me right from the start
...

Why do I love you as I do?
You caused a stirring in my soul
When first you offered me your heart,
And then my own heart you stole
...

I'm numb to the pain of loneliness,
Unable to feel its sting,
I can't respond to the emptiness,
Or the despair it used to bring
...

I love when you get so close to me,
With your lips pressed against my ear,
Then passion starts to speak for you,
Forbidden words I long to hear
...

Without his love, life is meaningless,
I struggle, but I can't climb the hill;
And what am I to do with the dreams
That only he was meant to fulfill
...

A melody caught my ear today,
It deeply touched my soul,
I heard a duet being performed
By a lark and an oriole
...

Thoughts of you come floating by
Like feathers on a breeze,
Gentle thoughts that calm my heart
And put my mind at ease
...

A stranger sang his song to me,
One night after darkness fell,
Taking me from a disturbing dream.....
I was dwelling in the halls of hell
...

Each morning my heart and I talk,
It asks me why he went away,
Like a child that can't understand,
It asks the same question each day
...

A woman without her man
Is a woman incomplete,
As the flower without its nectar
Sends the bee into hasty retreat
...
