Smiling and giddy
Anticipation building
When will I see you
Fingers wrapped in mine
Receive your next kiss
The next piece I'll miss
I want to know
Your mysteries
Your passions
I want to share
My story
Walk with me
Hold my hand
Don't let go
I want to see
What the future is
Down this path with you
Fm 11-28-08
And I say to you
'Tis all a fleeting dream
A distant memory
Of what is to be
To walk the frozen lands
Or lay upon the sand
Feel the water wash away
Cares and woes of each day
Each moment a snippet of life
A look, a step, a ragged breath
Did you go the right way?
Choose the correct escapade?
Does it matter now?
You're still here somehow
Welcome to your world
Each moment a mere whirl
Of color, shapes, and sounds
How we paint pictures
Canvas of the mind
Memories more beautiful
Then reality left behind
Fm 11-20-08
The poet dreams of writing
Magnificent soliloquies
When the words struggle
Move away from the page
Set back the pen
You will find a way
The ink will flow
The emotions will run
Tears form unexpected
A sigh of relief
This scribble only a start
Of what may be art
Releasing these tensions
Absorbing the lessons
My pen my weapon
Against these demons
I share with you
My pain and struggle
My joys and bubble
I laugh at my art
But own the heart
That bled these words
The breath of life
Gave rhythm to rhyme
A blocked mind
Has no pen in hand
Paper heals
This weary soul
Read and connect
My journey
No longer solo
Fm 11-14-08
The words build a tapestry
Tell a story of tactile mystery
The visions flash across eyes
Seeing beyond what's in sight
All absorbed in the tale shared
By the hands and lips of this bard
Let yesterdays tales unfold
May history again be told
In the oldest of ways
Handed down on voice this day
Spellings not trapped on a page
Imagination must be engaged
Paint an intricate picture
With your effervescent scripture
May it forever grow and evolve
Carry on the speakers resolve
In a way we'll live forever
Immortality its truest endeavor
Fm 11-14-08
All that remains of you
Faded tear stains on a pillowcase
Forgotten details of your face
Memories which have gone astray
How could I have ever known
Letting go would be so hard
When all these years
All I wanted to do was part
With the echo of your voice
Eventually you will be forgotten
This moment on you are forgiven
I'm moving down my chosen path
This pain a well learned lesson
It no longer hurts to think of then
Only the regret of not releasing
Set free from my years of anger
Life's light shines again
In eyes looking forward
Goodbye my weary love
I'll not look back on you again
Fm 11-13-08
...entries to this space for the month of November. lol
I have new stuff written and more thoughts floating through my mind. I'll post it all when I have a reliable internet connection again.
And here's a shocker...I'm considering trying to publish some of my work. Thanks to those of you who keep telling me most of my work isn't crap. :D
