together

Together

Together

By JFarrell

 

Together,

In each others’ arms,

We look up at the moon,

Together.

 

In the darkest indigo

Of a cloudy night

The moon bursts through the clouds

A bright silvery guide, in the sky

Some of the thick cloud is inpenetratable

And makes the moon look like a heart,

My heart, bursting with love for you

 

Can you feel my heart beating?

Can you feel my arms around you?

Can you feel my soft kisses on your neck?

 

Your moon is younger than mine

After all, we are six hours apart,

But, under the moon,

We are both here, now

Together.

 

I so love you.

"Tragic, 

tragedy can be, 

with repeating sounds of words, 

or screams and cries;

 

pain is a universal language.

Everyone knows it, 

this I believe. 

But,

 

even then, there's plenty

of discontent for which has and has not

been felt, 

as though suffering is to be measured.

 

I've seen it, you have, too, 

the pain of the neighborhood, 

tires slashed throughout, 

just another siren,

 

crying, 

at my end of the city. 

Such a pity, and then

the loud clash

 

of the car crash, 

one having smashed into the other,

and in this moment of pain, 

this tragedy,

 

comes unity, 

Humanity.

The unprovoked question

of the desire of assistance,

 

the rush to the scene 

seen by me

of the people who live on this block, 

calming the sobbing mother,

 

bringing the young ones out from the cold, 

the old man sweeping the broken glass,

no police having arrived yet.

Yet, nothing but pain

 

bringing us together, 

celebrating that everyone is okay.

 

Silver lining, 

pain unites,

every little thing

is going to be all right,

 

the radio said so."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I recently was invited to be part of my local Lululemons UNTITEd States campaign, and I had such a blast. This is my poem for the them "unity", aptly named.

Let's pretend

Let's, for a minute, pretend. That reality is a figment of our imaginations, and a nightmare in which people choose to live in... let's pretend that it's only us and the stars, the clouds, the dusk... well, let's focus on us.

I know it's irrational to move away from the grasps of the inevitable reality in which this world forces us to feel emotional and doubt who we are and what we feel... but let's just pretend and be happy, even though we know it's not real...

 

In this place we call a "dream," let's be together and do everything that reality prevents us from doing... Let's fall in love and have hope and be just fine with no anxiety and smile about all the great things we could do together...

Let's just pretend...? Only for a moment..

Literally all of my emotions, carefully canvassed onto a blank though from the deep thoughts that flow through my fingertips..

*Look At Me*

November.11.1997

 Trisha Barrek Hopkins

 

Look at me

Look past the clothes

Look past the skin

Look into the soul

Tell me what you see

My heart does not play around

Hurt my feeling you made a sin

God brought us together

He is the one that found

The beautiful relationship to be 

The one that will last forever

God knows it will be him

A broken heart....In pieces...Never

In this passionate love we will swim

Trueness is forever

Fate brought us to one another

Hearts intwined are even better

We will wear on us a heart to show our love

It replaces the scar-let letter

Our relationship will fit tighter then a glove

We will never neglect

True romance will reflect

Treat eachother with respect

Promise truthfully we will never part

Promise I will not get a broken heart

 

Look at me

I hate the way I must be

Can't you see

I liked you from the start

I would not want you to leave my sight

If we disagree

Lets not fight

Promise you'll keep away the fears

Help me with the hurt

Keep away the tears

Do not be a tease

Playing with my mind

My love is what I will freeze

Trying to hurt me is so unkind

Be sweet to me 

You'll see what you find

Let our spirits free 

Understanding

rearranging

Look inside

sick of paging

Hope you had not lied

Forever

Such sins

Finding out the truth I've cried

Together

It just begins

Leaving eachother

Look at me 

Look beyond

Can't you believe

That we have a special bond

So I guess this means I have to leave

*In My Heart*

 

 March.2.2001/ updated June.7.2015

 Trisha Barrek Hopkins

 

In my heart

I feel love for two

This feeling from me won't part

I don't know what direction to take

My feelings are a mess

The choice is hard to make

My heart can't deal with the stress

 

In my heart

It's so confused

From neither do I want to part

They both get me amused

One is I should just be a friend

But which one I don't know who

They both remain in my heart till the end

 

I've know one longer 

But does that help much

Would that make my feelings for one stronger

Or should I go by his touch

My hearts in a struggle

I don't know what to do

Maybe both I could juggle

I should just be unhappy and blue

 

Maybe I should just remain alone

Stay all by myself

And turn my heart back to stone

And leave it on the shelf

What have I gone and done

I've fallen for two that are great

My heart they both won

Everyones heart is at stake

And I know I can only go on with one 

But both bring me joy

With both I have so much fun

And niether play me like a toy

 

God please help me 

To make the choice that is right

Just from me don't let them get free

I don't want them to leave my sight

I want them to know both I love I hope they can see

But why make my life so complicated

Why do I have to make a choice

Soon my heart's going to be dislocated

I have to listen to my own voice

Why can't I have my cake 

And eat it too

God show me which is fake

Show me which life I make new

 

In my heart

The answer is there

From both I must part

Because for both I truely care

They both stole my heart

Why can't we share

I should of only chose one from the start

God Why can't you hear

 

I have such a brian fart

They will be a great memory in my mind

The both of them

Will never from me part

This is cruel not kind

The both of them will remain in my heart

I still want them both

To love forever

But it's against my oath

Im in a bind

With them both I can't be together

So someone else I must find

*In Passing Time*

 

 Febrary.12.2001

 Trisha Barrek Hopkins

 

In passing time 

We may lose the ones we deeply love

But part of them will still shine

And in our hearts new love remains true

 

It may be hard for us 

To go on from the past

But for that person they would want us to move on

For thier love will always in our heart last 

And they would want you to stay strong

 

In passing time 

I will be by your side

Every single day

Your tears don't hide

Every night for you I'll pray

In me please confide

 

I will help you through days that are tough

Pick you back up when your blue

For you my love I'll always help you when things are rough

This I hope you knew 

 

Days when you know you're going to cry

Let me know so I can wipe the tears away

When I tell you "I love you" It's no lie

I want to be with you every day

Through sunshine and rain

In every way

So I can take away the pain

 

In passing time 

You will always come out on top 

Through thick and thin

You are strong and you no one can stop

This struggle You're determined to win

I will be by your side forever

I will always be here

What I want with you is stay together

I will always wipe away your tear

 

No other guy from you will steal

They won't ever take me away

Because their love isn't real

With you I want to be with everyday

I'm going to stay with you forever

To cherish your touch

To love eachother

To show I love you so much

Through this passing time

*Please Don't Leave Me,Please Stay*

August.22.2001

 Trisha Barrek Hopkins

 

Everything we've gone through

These past weeks how can you just throw away

When deep down inside you knew

Our love was growing stronger each day

Even though I still got you as a friend

My days are still not blue

But you promised you wouldn't let the magic end

Baby please don't leave me

Please stay

Don't set what we have free

Just because that's the way she wants it to be 

Sweetheart can"t you see

God brought us together for a reason

So that stupid broken heart

It wouldn't be with us this season

I guess you didn't mean what you told

Now I'm falling apart

To me, Lies are what you sold

I loved you from the start

But I guess you were too blind

To see the feelings I still have inside

Someone so special again I'll never find

At least towards the world My love for you I won't hide

You promised you wouldn't make me cry

But I guess that was just a dream

Now I feel not myself

My love I need you to seal the seam

So I don't get lost in sadness and happen to die

If you don't want me put me back on the shelf

So I can just collect dust

And sit there with no glisten

In my eye

For me now alone is a must

To the world I'll say bye

A word from my lips

So many tears falling no one will listen

 

All I want is for you to not disappear

From my life

My broken heartbeat I hope you hear

Because Only you can repair

What has been broken

Why can't you understand

Your love is my token

I want to cherish and keep hold in my hand

This special gift God has given

It's like without you I don't want to go on living

I want to stare into your eyes forever

Have you hold me in your arms

Say "With me only you want to be forever"

To always send your loving charms

To give me your gentle kiss

Yes the one I melt for 

The one I so much miss

Honey you're the only one I adore

You're the only one that makes my heart skip a beat

Makes my feelings fly

I only with you want to create passion

Feel the heat

I ask of God to let us always be friends

For years ahead

Til the end

Remembering on what you said

"I love you too"

That my love I already knew

And guess what sweetheart

I love you

I have from the start

I care for you so

There are so many feelings

I just hope you know

I'll never leave your side no matter what

I pray to God you'll never let me go

And next to you Ill always stand

Because only you can make me glow

So someday down the road once again I hope you'll be my man

This time no one will tare us from eachother 

Because this time around

Our love will be stronger then ever 

I thank God everyday you're the one I found

In my heart you'll be there forever

 

I want no other 

So please keep that in mind

For when I get you back I'll never let go

Because you're a precious find

That at least I hope you believe

And deep down inside you know

You I can never leave

And even though I can't show it my love will grow

Someday I'll show

Someday I'll make you believe

That we're meant to be

Your charm I always fall for

When we come back to eachother

I'll never set you free

Your love I want more

Just you wait and see

Together won't be a bore

But for now God is in control

Soon all the memories I can store

Always know my heart you stole

*You Are The Only One For Me*

 February.14.2003

 Dedicated to Derrick Mann

 Trisha Barrek Hopkins

 

The way you smile

Relaxes and makes me feelwarm for awhile

You alone make me see

You are the only one for me 

 

The way you caress

The feelings you express

When I'm laying down thinking you're the one I miss

And that only makes me more crazy for your kiss

Baby could it really be 

You're the only one for me 

 

When I'm in the warmth of your arms 

I'm head over heels for your charms

I feel so happy so free

I know it's for true

Deep in my heart

I will always and forever belong to you 

From the first day we met from the very start

All this time God knew together we would be

He knew you are the only one for me 

 

I like it when I get captured in your trance

If I could I can get lost in your eyes everyday

For me to fall in love with you only tookone glance

Even in school " I Love You " is what I wanted to say

I know one day with you I'd get to romance 

In our own special way

 

You are the only one for me 

From here to the moon above

When I'm with you in my mind 

You set me free 

It's true you're the only one I love

You're precious and kind

With you I only want to be

Just remember you're not alone

I know how you feel

My heart was once stone

One day your heart I will capture

It I will not steal

Your heart I won't rapture

Your wounds I'll heal

 

Your tears I will dry

Your fears I'll take away

I promise we'll get by

I promise we'll make it to the next day

I promise our hearts will fly

Just promise you'll stay

 

Our hearts will join as one 

Come take a walk with me 

My tears weigh a ton

Lets set our minds and feelings free

To face my fear I have won

Lets have people see 

We're having all the fun 

Our relationship will remain

Our love will forever be
