A Taste of Bittersweet

On May 4, 2014May 4, 2014 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry31 Comments

The clock turned a deaf ear
to my desperate pleading, for
its hands have moved forward
rapidly and no matter where
our time is spent, the elephant
is in the room.

You whispered reasons for
leaving, but my vision was
clouded by the love in your eyes
and the romance in your touch.
I gave them little thought.
Now they clutter my dreams
and my heart is heavy.

I cannot bear to lose a part of
me; to watch you walk into the
future without my shadow.
You are my lift to each day in
dawn’s early light and my calm
when the sun sets for a night of rest.

Will our love bear the strength
to connect our paths, never-ending?
Or will this truly mean good-bye
with our souls needing mending?

Will You…

On April 29, 2014April 30, 2014 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry37 Comments

If I ask you…
Will you lie with me
share a moment
without expectations
only our feelings
connected?

Will you keep me warm
be soothed by my
breathing
no distractions
only heartbeats
in perfect rhythm?

If I ask you…
Will you lie with me
and listen
clear my mind
be my pillow
my lover and friend?

If I ask,
will you?

Early Thoughts of Thanksgiving

On November 26, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry32 Comments

Born from history
is this day we celebrate
the blessings in our lives
for each breath we take
I ask not for anything
but one gift I will bring
to the feast laid before me
on a day filled with glee
And so I gladly share
with a joyful prayer
at this table I take part,
my very grateful heart

and wishes of joy and gratitude in each and every day!

Love,

Infinite Melody

On November 13, 2013November 13, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry32 Comments

My universe lingered timelessly in a lonely state
where darkness followed relentlessly with no possible escape
Now you’ve altered my world since the start of that day
when my vision of life transformed in euphoric ways
The beating of my heart changed to an unknown tempo
and the bird’s debut ended with a beautiful crescendo
Your arms were there to catch me when I was about to fall
to save me from a shadow that kept me feeling small
How kind of you to share your love, to think of me as worthy
to look beneath my saddened soul and see my genuine beauty
Where gray was very greedy, you gently placed a star
shedding light upon my sky, erasing all my scars
I will show you equal devotion that you have revealed to me
and together we’ll fly in truth and trust for all eternity

Three Strikes

On November 11, 2013November 11, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry36 Comments

Your words form a pattern
offering no semblance of
connectivity and their tone is
uninviting. Repetition takes the
lead and the cadence in your
syllables lacks originality.

They say that love is blind
and my eyes validate their
ruling. Tomorrow the sky
will be blue, but not my heart.
I shall buy new specs, for their
effect has weakened over time.

It would seem after all the warm
summer nights, sipping iced tea
with joined hands; after all the
cups of coffee shared at sunrise,
our love would be stronger than
the caffeine consumed by us.

I’d rather not witness more
alphabet rolling off your tongue.
The consonants only match the
stubble on your chin and the vowels,
well, they’ve no place to land, for I’m
no longer wearing the catcher’s mitt.

Promises – Acrostic

On October 29, 2013October 29, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry34 Comments

Poetic words slide from your lips, so tenderly, as they

Rest in my heart, softened and beating contentedly

Oh, you need not say more, for you’ve already

Mesmerized my soul to its very core and

I shall guard your love eternally, for

Surely, you can see the same

Emotions in my eyes,

Sweetheart…

Blue Sky

My eyes are open now

and they see life’s pattern

has changed

I’m sorry I stayed in the sand

forever, it seemed

but the truth is clear as can be

in my lovely blue sky

and I will move on

because I’m ready to fly

but true from the past)

Butterflies to Stay

On October 15, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry45 Comments

It’s easy falling into lust
sharing moments of passion
Falling in love, though
involves the heart
and much more compassion

Striving for “forever”
isn’t always a stroll in the park
but it’s a package worth opening
to experience that spark

It’s feeling those
beautiful butterflies
dancing inside
and sharing your world
with nothing to hide

It’s knowing you are special
even with your flaws
An eternal heart
loves you just because

It’s all of these and so much more
It’s having someone to adore
through all the mess
and all the calm
to comfort through the storm
