Lora Colon Poems

You are my love, guardian of my heart,
Providing your strength when I'm weak;
You are my voice when I cannot talk,
You're the words that I cannot speak
...

I see life's beauty all around me,
No clouds in my sky of blue;
A gentle breeze carries the song of a bird,
But my heart is longing for you
...

I watched the mist roll along the ground,
It was a cold and moonless night;
I thought I saw you standing there,
I knew that couldn't be right
...

I've built a storm shelter deep in my mind
For when I feel I must take flight;
I get there quickly, my provisions are few -
Some music, pen and paper to write
...

You never heard me crying,
Singing my lament to a star;
A song that made the roses weep,
Like a mourning dove's repertoire
...

Be silent just a moment, my love,
I heard your call.... our hearts are in tune,
Like the moth that can't resist the flame,
I'll come to you.... faithful as the moon
...

I saw a spiderweb laced with dew,
So intricately was it designed,
Like the love you've woven through my life,
Capturing my heart and my mind,
...

The love of nature is my religion,
Give me a sunrise of dazzling light,
I bow my head in admiration,
Once again, the sun conquers the night
...

Who will be there to claim my body
When from this world I must pass?
Whose heaven becomes eternal hell
As I'm laid beneath the grass?
...

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
...
