I recently changed phones, as my old phone was getting surprisingly slow and finicky in it's old age, and when I went through my list app, I found some poems I had written down randomly - usually during the night when I couldn't sleep. I thought I'd just write them here, unedited, and see what you guys thought.
Poem 3
I wish I could let love flow through me
Instead of grabbing on
But I begin to hoard if
As if I suspect it gone
Love can be all around me
While I retreat within
And yet my heart beats onwards
To make my defenses thin
I have a few windows
Of time spent with open heart
But it's an ongoing battle
That I often fear to start
Poem 2
I heard that once
A mother said
Of her dearly departed son
That 'his was a life of ten years,
that did not continue on'
I cannot quite allow myself
To grasp that height of calm
When nightmares of your death
Begin to plague me
And so, sweet love, the best I can do
Is to love you with fervor
For now
Forever
Come what may be.
thoughts and feelings welcome. love to all who read.

I seem to recall hearing about the topic of your second poem - was it you who was told me about it?
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written poetry darling. I love the subject of the first one in particular, and your eloquent phrasing.
Yeh, she was interviewed on a show I was watching during daytime tv sometime...
