Have You Ever

Have you ever seen the sun rise

And watched the colours changing hue?

Seen the colours turn from dark to gold,

And pink then blue.



Have you ever sat beneath a midnight moon,

Wondered at the stars aglow?

Thought about me as I do you

And wonder why my feelings don't show.



It is so hard to tell you

The love I have inside.

You are like the moon

And I the ocean tide.



They say time will tell

For she is our friend.

I am afraid if I wait

This will be the end.



I must be brave,

I must be strong.

Let it all out,

Can it be so wrong?



Give me a clue,

Show me you care.

Don't let me be alone,

When my feelings I bare.



If it is like this

And we are not meant to be,

At least I will know

And my fears will be set free.

Ok, I tried to critique this once before and something went ary. Anyway, this is great, Tanya! Who the hell is going to give you any suggestions on this being better? Your use of verbiage is good, it is a very direct poem, and it sounds like a greeting card! If you haven't submitted to Greeting Card publishers, YOU SHOULD! It's great, thanks for sharing!
