Christina Limbaugh Poem
Sweet breath of steaming treats traveled
through the diner, the streets, lingered
and was ignored by all
but one. A lone little girl with dirt
upon her nose. Savory juices ran
down laughing chins, dripping
with the ending rains.
Her trembling fingers flicking
little dots of mold. Standing beneath
wondrous sights, dancing stars,
and the full moon's light,
the poor girl ate. Tricked
by whispering breath she smiled.
Every swallow savored
she stepped into the night.

Christina Limbaugh Poem
I see you resting in a blanket of haze.
Suddenly Im here, beside you.
With a cluster of wilted flowers at her feet a willow weeps before us.
Her tears fall to the earth, her wails race through my hair.
My heart plays drums, yours sits in silence.
You will never hear me and a sound may not escape me,
but you will always listen.
I taste the sea upon my lips as I try to say good bye.
I place a fresh rose amongst those that wilt in sorrow.
A kiss in the wind
The drums miss a beat.
The willow weeps behind me.

Christina Limbaugh Poem
Nothing behind but darkness
I can’t go forward in this starkness
Inside these walls I flee
Escapes between the pages you see
A sorrow, too great to bear
Too large is my fear
I heal in this isolation
reprieve in my determination.
Tears flow through my heart
I am sorry we had to part.
From the haze you arrive
Together we’re alive
Reflect my pain
Remove the stain
A light amongst the darkness
