What Stands Left



My beautiful friend
My most precious friend
My sweetest friend

We memoralize
But hardly remember
What stands left
Remants of the past
We find each other
Each suprised
We never loved again

In some stragers arms
I lack the lack of love for you
I can not concieve the idea
Why I am kept from you

We are still lost in each other
Something that should, but isn't
Forgetting the pain, the hurt
Without us
We'll never be the same

Find your own way
Into my mind
Then you'll see

We must follow our hearts
Move west with the sun
In the heat of the day we can not see
So we set, in the night
Ourselves, in it we'll be
With what stands left

Joseph Shofner

I'm 17, soon to turn 18 this Summer. I'm going to college to become a Geologist this Summer & following Fall. I like writing poems, but I've somewhat stopped in the past month or so. But in the time I did write (For about 6 months - 1 year) I wrote several hundred, most of which I "fixed" by making them better. Most of my poems are about love, as love is a very important (but not prominent) thing in my life. I believe love is an expression of the best of things, and poetry is an expression of love, so with poetry I express my love (Since I can't in other ways) I'll try to publish a poem a day (Maybe more, as I have them written down, but have to re-type them all when publishing them onto here) Also I'm working on a booklet of around 30-50 of my best poems re-mastered to try & win a girl I like over. I don't know who she is, as the school year is about over, but I'm sure I'll meet someone at college who appreciates it as much as I do. Any questions/ want to talk message me at joealexshof@yahoo.com more…
