Past Times in Poetry

This is the page where you can find poems that I wrote for Sarah in the past.  I'm keeping this page because I find them to be exceptional poems that everyone should read whether or not they mean the same thing.  Yes Sarah, they're still for you, just not the same way anymore.

Uncertainty

The pressure is growing in my mind
Decisions, choices, not made yet
They take up space yet do no good
Growing bigger on the set
Escaping them is not a choice
I cannot pass the problem pile
Stuck upon the many things
I could be here for a while
Going left or going right
These are easy on my mind
There are harder issues at hand
The answers I must find
Hindering my thought process
She fills up my head
Im not sure what to do
But this was all I said.

Distance

Walking on the sandy shore
I stare off into the night
My hand begins to tremble
My mind, it takes to flight
I gaze across the water
I see the moonlight shine
I see your silhouette
But you I can not find
As I search for you
I find you are afar
Out of reach, but not from sight
I find you where you are
If you come to me
You'll find me in a trance
Because I gave up looking
For you off in the distance.

Real Thing

I seek and search for the one
The one who makes my life complete
It seems to me that nothings real
To tell the truth is such a feat
They walk as thought no one knows
Of the secret lives they hold
They glance and sneer as I walk by
For my truthful speech is bold
I still search for the one
Who isn't afraid to tell what's right
Who isn't afraid to stand alone
Who stands out in the dark of night
I may have found that one now
I can hold her under my wing
It seems to me that she's the only one
Who tries to do the real thing.

Far Away Days

I sit here in the cabin
I read an interesting book
I lift my head, I see you there
On the bed in the far nook
I tend to the fire
It warms me with it's heat
Then you turn and ask me
"Where did we first meet?"
I ponder for a while
I make a subtle move
I can't recall that day
When you were sent here from above
I tell you I don't know
You tell me the same
We gaze at eachother
Knowing that's not why we came
The rest is all a blur now
I can't recall our ways
This is because it happened
It happened in far away days.

The Rest Is...

It was that monday morning
I looked around and saw
I saw you walk through the hall
I looked upon with awe
I saw no one, but you there
I looked to no avail
I could only see you
I tried again, to fail
You walked over to me
I did not turn away
You gently held your hand out
That's when I heard you say
"Now it is your turn
You must live til your prime
There you will meet her
She will stay for all time"
Until now I didn't get it
I never understood
Until I met you, all was blank
I did all that I could
But now I realize who you are
You are the one from that day
That monday past and gone away
I thought there was no way
To see you ever again
I look and always see
You will always be there for me
because the rest is...

Lake of Eternity

 

I gaze into the starry sky

Wondering why I'm here

I swim around and reminisce

of all my hopes and fears

One fear, one hope, together rise

From the depth within my heart

The hope that we will stay together

The fear that we will drift apart

These waters continue to swell

With the waves does my mind tense

The hope and fear now sink as one

They have been gone ever since

Now that hope and fear are gone

This reason I will hope you see

For I know we'll be together forever

Swimming in this Lake of Eternity

Lacking

There is an empty place inside
A gaping hole so deep and wide
I find one thing fills that space
Without you I would have died
I tried so hard
Nothing cured
My dying need
To hear your word
I found you now
I won't let go
I'll stay with you
For now you know
Just how I felt
Dazed and confused
To be with you
I only mused
Those empty days
Those days I rue
Those day that I
Was lacking you.

Hindsight

Hindsight is a beautiful thing
I can look back and see what good times did bring
I can not see those days before
The day you came into my life
They are dark with disappointment
Filled with agony and strife
Now that those foul days are passed
I can dwell on those just last
The light that shines is nearly blinding
That light shines bright in my mind
I have trouble forgetting those days
The days we spent so long together
The days we spent in the cold
Not yet in sunny weather
Those days will soon be here
The future looks so bright
But then those days will soon be gone
Still I will have my hindsight.

Weightless

Im floating in existence

Weightless as the air

I reach out for the colors

But I know they are not there

I turn around in wispy flight

I see a shape out in the night

It turns to me and closer still

It glows in radiant light

The image takes its shape

A person in the sea

I look on with awestruck eyes

As the person comes to me

I finally see her clearly now

She gently takes my hand

She pulls me up straight to the top

She brings me up to land

All the while we swam

My hand was never freed

The warmth I felt from your hand

Was all the warmth Id need

We reached the top

We walked to shore

I wished the time

Wed spent was more

You gently wrapped your arm around me

Embracing me with love filled eyes

You looked at me and I was frozen

Deaf to sound and deaf to cries

All I heard was your soothing voice

Your voice having a calming tone

From your eyes and voice I knew

That we would never be alone

We will always have each other

You will hold me in your gaze

Our lives will never split apart

We will be joined for numerous days

We stand there in the fading light

Knowing the day soon comes to rest

We will stand there on the shore

Watching the sun fade from its crest

We hold each other in our arms

Each in the others own embrace

The ending now I gladly bring

For it brought a smile to your face

 

The Flood

 

I look down the river

I see an endless stream

I look down the other side

I see a confined dream

The dream is dammed at one end

No water of hope seeps through

Until the day you come along

The dam will lose no dew

The day you come is upon me

The dam, it starts to crack

My dream begins to burst forward

It will never be put back

My dream surrounds you with its waves

The flood waters cover you

You fuse with my dream today and forever

Because you are my dream come true.

Sarah, I miss hanging out with you, but I'm glad you and I have finally moved on.  I thank you for not allowing us to get into a position where it would have been more difficult.
