8 PM In The Middle of Spring

It rained here today..

I thought about the times I dreamt of kissing you.

You would grab my damp hair, tell me I light up the moon

I would look up at the ocean in your eyes and tell you my heart feels like

A million stars lighting up all at once

You’d look back at me, gleaming at the truth in my eyes

And tell me a million stars couldn't shine as bright as our love

You’re right.

 

I hear a honk and turn to my left,

My world of fantasy here, then swept

The roads are glistening and the air’s gone back dry

I look to the right and see emptiness by my side

My heart starts dimming, as if no light was ever once lit

As the reality of another day without you, begins to sink in

 

I go home and boil a cup of tea

And fight off all thoughts of you

And all thoughts of you and me

 

And just as I’m about to take you from my heart and lock you in my words

You walk in my door as if winter was never heard

And tell me a million and one stars are shining outside.

And that the world is now ready for a love so divine.

Every stanza dripped with emotion. I love the way this piece was written. It was like a story that I could picture in my head.

"And just as I’m about to take you from my heart and lock you in my words
You walk in my door as if winter was never heard"

Love the use and play of words in this line. Really nice piece!

I love your poems, as far as love poems go your poems are the most satisfying for me.

[Awakened Rose]

ooo thank you :)

Your writing has a sense of hope in it, a last minute glow that I both yearn for in my own writing and have a hard time understanding in the least. Cynics such as myself should be shot on sight, haha. Anyway, this is lovely, bittersweet poem. Anybody with half a notion of true romantic love can identify with this feeling of emptiness left when a loved one isn't around. I love reading your work Taylor. It's my little piece of positivity for the day.

Thank you so very much :) I like people to leave my poetry with a sense of hope and love. So thank you for appreciating that.

Oh wow the hopeless romantic in me adores this poem... that first stanza ...yeah ...wow. Kind of left be stunned and unable to find the right words to say how breathtakingly beautiful it was. Lost love revisited in the rain...simply divine work.
