your dose of prose: June 2016

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 3^rd, 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!

Smashing success

I just stepped back in time
To a song once always on my mind
Lost in that long-lost feeling
That rush that always left me reeling
Remembering fondly all that was
The glittering lights & constant buzz
Relishing the beauty of memory
Where you were bound and true to me

Gently

Let me down gently
Keep holding my hand
Until your fingers are icy
Yet I still won't understand

You've chosen this path
All this I know
But my heart won't accept
And just won't let go

Say my name one last time
As I soak in your voice
Please let me down gently
I know this is your choice

Don't let go

Don't let go.
How can you leave now?
When I've laid bare my soul
Grown before your eyes

You've changed me.
I cannot go back
Yet you won't be here
To cheer me on

You're in pain.
But is it still selfish?
I cannot judge
I'm too wrapped up in all that you are

Stay with me.
Physically... not just in my mind
Or plastered across my heart
Or seared into my soul

I love you.
And that will feed my pain
In the years to come
It will always be you
