I Can No Longer Stand in the Sun

I can no longer stand in the Sun
It is too bright and revealing
I need to walk in the shadow of moonlight
There I can reveal my untainted parts
And hide the decay of regrettable choices

Some say at the end of life we regret the things we did...

Melancholy

I glimpsed my melancholy in the mirror
The sadness of my spirit impossible to hide
I go through the motions everyday
Trying to push back thoughts of you
Even happy memories of my children make me want to cry
Those moments far away and gone

The Day in the Park

New Orleans always feels like home
I could never live there
It just the place we meet to rekindle what no longer exists
It helps me forget that you belong to someone else
And I have a life I can’t give up
We planned to go to the zoo but it was...

Your thorns

We are mismatched you and I
Day and night trying to converge
I think we have collided for lifetimes
You trying to light the pyre
Me attempting to put out the wildfire

I am the eye of the storm
And you are the fury
I longed for the ONE
To...

The Dream of Us

I dreamed of you last night
My dreams won’t even lie to me
They showed you barely there
Giving me just enough attention to keep me from letting go
Revealing that dark dance we performed for way too long

I woke up and could not breathe.

there is a typo. It should be intimate but if I change it I lose all the wonderful feedback. So I’m stuck with bad grammar or losing comments. Ugh

Thanks so much. I do think intimate works much better. It does take courage to look in the mirror. I appreciate your feedback.

Such a beautiful poem and gift to your mother. I'm sure it means much more than flowers.

Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback. I probably am glowing more than I realize. I think we are all hardest on ourselves.

wow, who knew you had so much talent. Drumming is so impressive. I hope you have video of that dance contest. Please tell me it’s recorded, lol. I have eclectic music tastes too. I listen to heavy metal when I run because if I listen to hip hop I dance and fall off the treadmill. I love 70s music too and 90s alternative. It depends on the my mood. Enjoy the rest of your day/night off.
Oh, and what happened to that friendship poem you posted it earlier? I saw part of it but when I went back it I couldn’t find it.

This is poem is so amazing. So many great lines. I had to read it several times to savor the brilliance. I will definitely revisit this one. I think my favorite line is "It behooves nothing of vertical stretch
it reaches for in vanity of
what it refuses to understand" but it so hard to choose. Great job!

thanks so much. I’m having a good long weekend. I went to see Duran Duran last night and was pleasantly surprised by the opener Niles Rodgers and Chic. I think you would have loved the 70’s groove music. I hope you have a good weekend too.

I wish I was clever enough to make the "slip" intentional but it was a typo. I meant to say "intimate with." If I edit it I'll lose all the wonderful feedback from my fellow poets so I will likely leave it alone and let it be intriguing :) Thanks so much for you kind words.
