#8 Poem-A-Day Challenge: In The Loveliest Of Times

In the loveliest of times

we were becoming friends

expressing.

revealing. evolving.

enchanted

I knew parting was

close at hand

inevitable

In the loveliest of times

long conversations felt like you were

next door or closer

like whispers in the night

You didn’t believe our goodbye

was possible. But I knew. I

began to prepare since hello.

Goodbye wrapped in

Change

Choices

Challenges

How did we meet? I can’t

remember really

How will we say goodbye?

I don’t know really

In the loveliest of times we

were always saying

goodbye

Poem-A-Day Challenge: Love's Astronaut

I orbit your universe
exploring the possibility of landing

testing the
atmosphere

I go where I am invited

I rotate in accordance to the
heart's desire...

Often the alien, I know full well
Love is
the final frontier

I am the gravitational pull of unexpected magic

Create a safe place for me to
land
and
I
might
just.

Happy March!

So I decided to join in on some challenges for the month of March. Why? Because they can be fun! And quite empowering.

3/1/16 Poem

The joy is not in

hanging around you

although I am sure that is a delight

The Joy lies in knowing you

like the moon is to the sun

The sun to the earth

The stars to our wishes
