Lynn Marie Poet Free verse

Allow Me

allow me the strength to 
let go of your memory...

allow me the peace of
once knowing your love...

to relinquish my soul
and grant me serenity...

to attain the comfort
of a tranquil being...

allow the ripples of
a once stormy wake...

to become still...
and shine soley
on the future.

allow me...
to love...
to live...
to laugh...
to breathe...

allow me.

Andrea Dietrich March 29, 2017 at 5:16 PM thanks so much for what you said to me here. I would not have seen it (since I turn off notifications for comments, etc) but I came back here to recall the last poem I read and I saw this reply to my comment. Yes, our poems are our "children", dear, and we look back fondly at them even with flaws.

Andrea Dietrich March 26, 2017 at 4:21 PM wow, Lynn, you are on fire with these oldie poems. LEt me see one more. Love how you put all the things together at the end of this one. Lynn Marie March 26, 2017 at 5:20 PM ...i always remember my frame of mind with the oldies and though some make me cringe at how unskillfully I crafted them, there is fondness for the words. A map of where I was and greater understanding for who I became. You brilliantly document your life through poetry and I am so grateful you share with such beautiful heart :-) ..thank you Andrea :-) lynn xxx
