Love

To think, you’re finally here with me!
After years of relentless, flirtatious banter,
Sometimes as playful as puppies, we were:
Other times more serious than a snake bite–
Yet ever fruitless my affections were.

Unattainably distant, you seemed to me.
A hazy speck just beyond the horizon,
Across the ocean of my life.
And I, stranded on my little island,
Couldn’t possibly build a smoke signal
Tall enough to alert your look-out.

Poetry challenge: Free verse poem.

 

We walk

talk a lot

one time our world’s collided

like a fork in the river

suddenly our mood changed

Be A Leaf

When a new born
Little in heart
Surrounded
By protection
