I haven’t done this in a while, writing poems that is. I used to obsess about poems though, and write them down constantly about every little thing in my world. That world was still small (and I wasn’t very good) as I was still in grade school. But so what, I borrowed ideas from other people and stanzas from songs that I heard and expanded upon them. That was the first time I thought I could be a writer (4th grade). A professional poetry pseudo- Robert Frost type of writer.
And good poetry is amazing to read, and hear, and imagine. Just thinking about it tugs at my heart strings. But right now I want to share something I wrote, and I don’t profess it to be anything great. Nor am I saying you’ll get more of these but this one is called Off and On and Peace.
Five years, I would’ve thought That was enough To make our love so tough It could weather the storms of life I admit when we met My walls were iron strong But you showed me love and truth And so I opened myself to you You became my waking moments You were the warmth when I slept I changed so much at that time Even just for our relationship But those five years were off and on We never did find our peace And so we said our goodbyes I felt you let go of me Adieu, my heart, flourish on I really really miss you But when I think how much happier you are My soul smiles for you too
