A time to reflect
A time to look forward
A time to put the past
Into tiny little boxes in your mind
A time to celebrate
A time to remember
A time to forget
All the sorrow and sadness
Look to the stars
Look to tomorrow
Look at the possibilities
Life has to offer
Happy New Year 2014! 🎉🎉🎉
I’ve been trying to write more and more poetry. Some of it is good, some not as much. But I’m learning and trying to do more.
What I would like to do though is increase my readership. May I ask that if you like a particular poem, would you please re-blog it for me? That may get me more eyes and hopefully a few more followers.
I don’t get too worried about how many followers and my stats, but I would like to increase a tiny bit.
So I hope it isn’t inappropriate for me to ask you to give me a hand. Much appreciated. Thank you.
A lover’s spat
An unnecessary quarrel
A misunderstanding
It’s all part of life
I’m sorry she says
His ego is bruised
But love will prevail
It’s all part of a union
He only wants to help
To pamper her and be around
She isn’t used to this treatment
It’s all part of a relationship
A small disagreement
Nothing really wrong
Tomorrow will be better
It’s all part of love
A season depends on so many things
Every game is important
The talent everyone brings
But then there comes a time
When fate intervenes
And your season is final.
You gave it your all
It just wasn’t enough
There’s always next fall
Tears trickle down my cheek
As you turn and walk away.
The memories I will keep
Forever in all my days.
My one sided love affair
Became my whole life.
But you seem not to care
About my stress and my strife.
Goodbyes don’t come without pain
With feet mired as in clay,
As we struggle to break the chain
And go our separate ways.
I weep for what could have been
But know you cannot give me more.
My tears must remain within
As you walk out the door.
Dreams of love
Dreams of you and me
Together in ev’ry way
Your lips pressed to mine
Assuring me of your love
Dreams of love eternally
I saw you yesterday
Remembering your touch
I saw you yesterday
Wanting you so much
I saw you yesterday
For the briefest of time
I saw you yesterday
Wishing you were mine
I saw you yesterday
Longing for your arms around me
I saw you yesterday
Knowing it would never be ‘we’
I saw you yesterday
Wondering what could have been
I saw you yesterday
Did you feel anything then?
I saw you yesterday
My love awake and alive
I saw you yesterday
Will I ever be able to say goodbye?
Alone in a crowd
Quietly in the corner
I sit and I watch
Observing the behaviors
Pretenders hide behind masks
A sudden awakening
Was it all but a dream?
No, it must have been real
I could feel your touch
Your warm breath on my neck
I felt your fingers caress me
Your tongue tickled mine
No, that could not have been a dream
I could taste your lips
Your heart beating next to mine
I felt your hands on my back
Your legs pressed close to mine
I awoke with desire, yet with regret
It was only a dream. I’m alone again.
I love Helen’s poetry. Give her a listen
Â
I watch you from the edges,
From a place that I’m not seen,
I leave a trace behind me,
A scent of where I’ve been,
I am the sense of something,
A glimpse or fleeting movement,
A taste of something missing,
Or a long forgotten moment.
I am the blood that rises,
In the heat within your chest,
The heartbeat that increases,
And the fear that you accept.
I’m close enough to touch you,
To feel your skin on mine,
Close enough to whisper,
If you’d only cross that line.
I’m here for you, I’m waiting,
In the shadows of your mind,
With dancing echoes calling,
For our paths to re-align.
I’ll watch you from the edges,
For a lifetime I’ll be there,
Waiting for you always,
Not knowing when or where.
