Poetry Day: Close to Me

far from here

close to there

that’s where i’d like to be

having you

close to me

that’s all i’d ever need

we took a chance

broke some rules

and maybe found our destinies

someone who’ll care

someone to be there

in our hearts, not physically

because distance takes

too much space

and so do memories

we can’t seem

to give those up

even for a glimpse to see

what could become

of these two hearts

if thrown together happily

but no matter what

circumstances bring

knowing you was meant to be

What I Find (hint: poetry)

(Although I deleted my first blog, Crazy Mom’s Journal, quite a few years ago, I found some old posts from it on my Facebook “notes” section. One thing I came across was some of my poetry. My poetry journal is in storage right now, so this was a happy find. Since I’ve had a lack of things to write about on this blog lately, I have decided to share some of the poems with you. Enjoy.)

what i find

in the corner

i watch you

intrigued

i notice you look over

in your eyes

i see light

shining

i feel

i know you

kind, considerate

oh so caring

though really

i do not know

i sense it

creative

an understanding friend

compassionate lover

tell me

are you

what i find you

to be

Set Free

Lookout Studio, Grand Canyon (via aneclecticmind.com)

Where are you friend
why aren’t you here
and exactly when did life get so bad

you were my shining light
you showed me God is hope
and gave support when i was sad

but now that i need you near
i’m left to miss you so
’cause you’re nowhere to be found

the pain you must have felt
the days you must have planned
before you lept off solid ground

i wish you could have known
i wish you would have felt
that you weren’t alone that day

i want to hold your hand
and give you one last hug
but heaven is just too far away

do you hear me cry
or see my silent tears
can you feel the pain within me

it’s so hard to let go
i really miss you friend
but i know now, you’re truly set free.
