PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was caught in the stare

Of his mesmerizing eyes

I couldn’t look away

Despite all my tries



And the seconds flew by

They turned into hours

The next thing I know

He was givin’ me flowers



Puppy dog love

That grew something great

By the time I realized

I was gaining the weight



And then the months went by

I still couldn’t look back

As all my life plans

Had gone off the track



I was married and gone

Left family and friends

Just a high school diploma

My kid, paper, and pens



Day in and day out

I live life through these P’s

With my pens and my paper

I struggle in the breeze



The winds rip around me

A tornado I fight

Only giving my feelings

To the paper I write



Long past my prime

An’ still doing the same

Nothing has changed

Except my burning flame



Tired and worn out

Coals burning white

The tornado wins

I give up the fight



Still and unhappy soul

And it bothers me so

In the last moments I write

As I let my life go
