The Poetry of Yesterday.....
Hero (14)
You were my role model
You were my friend
I thought that our friendship
Would last to the end
But you proved me wrong
On that fateful day
You swore in my face
And then walked away
I now keep my distance
Just like I should
If only you’d talk to me
How I wish you would
Of course, no relief
For me or my pride
I can’t now say sorry
I’ve already tried
However, you’re still my hero
Too perfect to be true
When I think, I realize
I’ll never be you
Has a year been long enough?
Will I be forgiven?
Must our worlds remain apart?
Will we stay riven?
But no, I gain your contempt
Your haughty laughs, your stares
And whenever I am near you
A smile from you is rare
I can’t make you accept me
I can’t even try
Through blood and sweat I’ve tried in vain
But I’d as soon die
Before I gain a smile
A laugh, a nod, a grin
Again maybe you’ll talk to me
A friendship shall begin
This will never happen though
My Hero, you have gone
I’ll be alone, now, tomorrow
And forever on
Memento
for a woman who has lost her husband (14)
You don’t know how sad I’ve been for you
Over the months and years.
I’ve wondered if you’re happy, and yes,
I have shed many tears.
I can remember, you used to tell me,
You always loved the sky.
Now you’re up there looking after me.
It just makes me want to cry.
But up there surely, it’s happy because
The grass is green, the sky is blue.
I just can’t wait, my loved one
Until I can share it with you.
So I am sad, but you are happy.
I put on a brave face, and a smile.
I’m glad you see, I’ll come too, just wait
Not forever, just a while.
All the people were so sad that you went
I was sad as well.
But if you’re happy, then I am.
But that’s not all I have to tell.
My love for you has crossed even
The barrier of death and life.
So I’ll be there, count on it.
From me, your loving wife.
My
Thoughts(12)
What is new?
What is old?
Speak to me
Your secrets told
Speak of Summer
And of Spring
And of Winter
When the birds don’t sing
