Although I long to touch your face
That smooth yet rugged brow
I know that we're forbidden
Each held back by a sacred vow
You're heart-felt song calls to me
And answer you I must
Despite the danger to my soul
And the shaking of my trust
I cannot look for too long
For fear that I might drown
As in your eyes I see such depth
Those pools of deepest brown
So, my dear I write this ode
To your beauty and your grace
Resigned that only in my mind
Will I ever touch your face
An attempt to write a poem a day for a whole year... no guarantees on quality - just quantity!
A poem a day to keep brain rot away
Join me as I attempt to create a poem a day... whether awesome, bawdy, corny, dreadful, entertaining, fabulous, gross or hilariously hokey, I will try to string together everything from couplets to limericks - just for the fun of fiddling with words!
May 3rd, 2012
Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3rd, 2011. I have had a great time doing this. It has basically become a habit and I don’t really want to stop. So, I am going to continue this thread because I have enjoyed it so much. It’s true that most of the poems were terrible. Some were good (or at least I thought so!) but mostly they were a reflection of something I either saw that day, thought of, felt or heard. In any case, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Here’s to letting the word out – come what may!
