I long for simpler days when I could breathe
Tag: iambic meter
2/28/2024 – returns
The azure sky returns from there
Behind the thickest clouds
2/23/2024 – what did they sing of
I wonder often at the world
And all who walk upon its face
The oceans that have ever swirled
And people that have left their trace
What did they sing of that we’ll never know?
2/21/2024 – turn away
The wretched shadows lurking here
Will not find grace in me
For as they try to turn my ear
I simply turn away
2/20/2024 – pulled beneath
The heavy blanket of the snow
Holds music in its hand
Who knows, then, where the songs all go
When pulled beneath the land?
2/16/2024 – what nature brought
I came upon a broken path
Gone overgrown with moss
And tiptoed o’er the quiet growths
To see what nature brought
2/14/2024 – mine/yours
I walk beside you every day
After making a choice:
To do so in lieu of all else
For you are mine, and I am yours
2/10/2024 – cannot rest
I cannot rest until all that I wish for I have got
And so I shall not rest until I lie in dirt and rot
2/2/2024 – expired
I wished upon the breaking dawn
For what my heart desired
And found instead that in the light
My luck had long expired
1/30/2024 – hidden doors
Bereft of all but that in reach
I want for distant shores
Yet cannot my heart’s stone walls breach
Nor find its hidden doors
