Daydreaming, thoughts, only of you

While sunlight comes, streaming through

The trees in the glen, where I hide away

And sit here, just wishing, for yesterday

This was our place, to make memories last

Now, it’s my place, of memories, past

I come here to listen, be one with the breeze

Sadness has claimed me, as time didn’t freeze

The moments we had, they’re no longer here

But you’ll stay in my heart, always, my dear

So, I’ll let the sun shine, let it warm my face

As I quietly sit, in this now sacred place

Because, I know, one day, together we’ll be

Until then, I’ll be waiting, right here, for thee

She No Longer Cries ~ #poetry

She finds herself lost on this lonely trail
Thoughts keep returning, sorrows prevail
A broken heart cries, so fragile and frail
Things she remembers, but cannot curtail

Darkness surrounds her, she closes her eyes
Trying to find the answers to the whys
Why this had happened, she quietly sighs
Tears long dried up, she no longer cries

Knowing she was not the one who had sinned
Emotions had caught them both, a whirlwind
As much as she tried, her feelings chagrined
For she knew he was gone, his love he’d rescind

But light, a reminder, her chance to forget
No longer, would she live, nor even regret
Starting over, she knew, with a different mindset
She’d never again be considered a soubrette

Like a deck of fifty two
dealt haphazardly across
a felt table, you anted
your chips and caused
me to fold under your
skilled hand, shuffling
the Queen of Hearts
against the King of Spades
you fooled me into
believing I had the upper hand
when all I had was the Joker.

Mermaid baby, little one, drift upon this silent sea

Find your place, among the waves, let the waters set you free

Let the sunlight guide you, though storm clouds threaten here

Bask in everlasting hope, knowing happiness is near

Sleep, for now, sweet baby, on a leaf, until the day

You hear the ocean call to you, tis love, it does convey

I could hear the pounding of your heartbeat

Like the pouring of the rain against this old house

Every inch, creaking, from the weight of the world

On shoulders that held more than they should

Taken in stride, as if this was your lot in this life

Never a complaint, you just went about your day

And night couldn’t come soon enough for you

Tired and weary, you had fallen fast asleep

Before I even had the chance to say thank you

For making my world a much better place to live

And this I know, as time passes, and days fade

You will always be the light that guides me

Shining within me, through my own darkest hours
