I adore the challenge of writing poetry, but seldom make an impression. From time to time I will post a poem on this page, and hopefully you will read and leave me your opinion. Enjoy.
TODAY
Reflections of a relationship that once was.
Today, the magic that once was, has left a bitter taste
I feel so stupid now, and glance downcast from your face
Gentle words once comforted me, spoken from your heart
Instead I am riding a bitter storm, torment in my eyes, depart
“What can be done is all I ask” I don’t want pity anymore
I love the strength the daylight brings, my fretful dreams I ignore
Life is just a challenge, a roller coaster of waves
Kindness is not the answer that I crave for all my days
You left me so abruptly, my heart left shattered in stone
Yet the precision of your letter placed, hasn’t left me alone
For each time I hold that crumpled page, stained from time and tears
I can hear angels’ wings so soft, so gentle to restrain my fears
Although my life is in turmoil and I admire all your finesse
My love will be my legacy left pounding on your chest
I am now without fight, I have thrown in the towel
I cannot force the issue, the gladiator won, hands down
