Why Can't I Seize the Moment?

I need to learn to open the door when opportunity knocks. Not only that I need to work my way up to running after him when I do.

Why? Why? Why?
July 2013

Why didn’t I say something?
I missed you.
I like you.
I want to see you soon.

Why didn’t I do something?
Hugged you.
Kissed you.
Held your hand.

Why didn’t you say something?
I want you.
You look good.
It’s good to see you.

Why didn’t you do something?
Reached out.
Sat closer.
Wrapped me in your arms.

Why? Why? Why?
Because I was scared.
Because you don’t know.
Because we still have to work it out.

 

 

When life gives you lemons...?

If you haven't noticed by now, most of my poems coincide with what's going on in my life at that moment. Guess we'll see where this goes. Sometimes life gives you opportunities and feelings and experiences you never thought would be.


What if You’d Never Left?
July 2013

It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.
Crazy how we can pick up where we left off,
That we can be as we once were,
When years have passed and things have changed.

It’s like it was only yesterday
We were joking and teasing and laughing;
Like it was only the day before,
That I set eyes on you for the first time.

It’s like nothing’s changed, you’d never gone away;
You’d never moved on to a different life;
Never made yourself into something more.
A man with a future and somewhere to go.

It’s like our lives never parted,
That you’ve been here all along;
Like you’d stood by my side when things went wrong.
Somehow, you and I stayed strong.

It’s like you came back
Because you were tethered
To the life we almost had;
To a life we could have now.

Wrote this like 3 weeks ago and totally forgot to upload it! My bad!

Watching, Waiting, Searching, Falling
June 2013

Brushing lightly
Against your
Arm, did you
Feel me
Lightly brushing?

Watching secretly
Until you
See me too.
Are you
Secretly watching?

Waiting patiently,
Thinking you
Are feeling
It too,
Patiently waiting.

Searching deeply
In your eyes,
For something
That’s more.
Deeply searching

Falling slowly,
Hoping you’ll
Be there to
Catch me.

Slowly falling.
