Two Poems by Lily Tierney

Again

Your voice was silent
printed words describing a
passionate desire for more.

Caressing each line
flowing with rhythm that
explodes into thoughts
that venture into the unknown.

Releasing an abandoned
soul only to find myself
again and again.



Night

Darkness I can always see
and feel you around me.

Sensing you consuming me
calling out to the shadows
in the night.

I know when you leave
the emptiness can
never be filled with
light.

The shadows play as
I walk toward my conscience.

I don't regret what thoughts
I left behind.
