PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've kept the richness of your voice

for so long now locked away in my lonely heart

I am certain that you do not know this

as if somewhere beyond the unquestionable infatuation

there lies an undetected choice

a fresh respect one might say for an ageless spark

the sweetest breath's way from one unforgettable kiss

I will likely never know your most treasured thoughts

nor where your dearest dreams quietly lie

though as well I may even hear the faint strings of a hope

filled hello but never the pleasure of a temporarily

extended yet breathless goodbye

which makes me wonder is the fear filled attempt really worth

'The End Of One Try'

and can not my unrecognized pain be replaced with a joy

filled sigh

is there no other doors left in which for me to open

no more safe avenues to curiously venture down

why is it only in one unforgettable pair of the bluest eyes

do I seem to so lovingly if only briefly drown

will the bridge I wish only to cross once ever come to

even be built

will my love survive the rigorous journey that has battered its faith

or merely starve of unreturned attention leaving it to soulessly wilt

I can only cry a loud as I pray and hope not!.......
