PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

She watches through the screen as he repeats the rite

Smiling she pours the lemonade, as she does each and every night

He grumbles and groans in the porch swing

And watches as sparrows hop and take wing



A creak from a hinge he always forgets to repair

Cause a turn to look at what he knows will be there

His love and his life, his passionate reason to smile

Through good and bad, she has stayed all the while



He makes room for her, and takes a glass

And laughs to himself, knowing what she'll ask

"Nothing", he says "I just love you, I do"

?I know you do, you silly old fool"



A simple portrait in the American west

Two aged loves watching the sun set

Holding hands so aged and frail

Once so robust, now thin as a rail



A large fiery globe sinks to its fate

Two lovers lean in before it's too late

The sun is almost extinguished with a hiss

As they share the important goodnight kiss



"Let's stay awhile" she says in a whisper

As the air of the night becomes quietly crisper

And in the dark with arms round each other

They watched as the sky the dark did smother



"It's been a great thousand years"

He says fighting a tear

"I know love, I know," she replies

Fighting a battle with her own eyes



He never knows if he'll awaken the next day

So he makes sure that each night he says

That he loves her with all of his heart

Should the morning come without a start



"Come on, let's go to bed"

She gently places a kiss on his head

"Remember so long ago, when we lived all those fears?

Let's go and rest, I want another one thousand years"
