PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Leaning closer, death strained voice on ears

Desires screaming for just today

Remembering  painless yesteryears

Not wanting to simply fade away

Growing in childhood dreams

Running through fields of wildflower

Birthday parties, delighted screams

Time fades this memory hour

Teenage years were just a blast

Remembering all she thought was known

Caught up in the shards of past

Never ceasing until seeds were sown

Falling stars pelt the earth as tears

With life, honesty and wisdom came

Too late wondering her fears

Getting caught up in the blame

Envying memories of the past

Keeping lessons of today

Into youthful sleep at last

Bargaining price she has to pay
