Poetry -- it's what I do when I don't know what to do...

Talking for hours by a roaring fire
Dancing the dance of lovers
Advancing, retreating, all the while wondering what the other is thinking.

A tender kiss in the morning light
Frost on the ground
Feeling, reeling, not knowing what the future might be bringing.

A long drive alone with time to think
Has it gone too far?
Pacing, mind racing, is it just an indiscretion you’re not facing?

Days go by without a word
Emotions ebb and flow
Anticipating, heart aching, expecting too much? Is he reciprocating?

Too much to do
No time to think it through
Forgetting, regretting, I don’t know – do you?

you are a better poet than i.
all of my poems must ryme.
expressing feelings, i cannot lie
gets harder and harder with time.

True poets, you know how they feel
they can make you happy or sad
a heart they can break or may heal
uplift a spirit, or even make mad

Did I make you mad, Ron? LOL

no, just a slave to rhymes.
