Completion

Though glowing rays
warm my window panes
I function in a daze
my nights remain cloudy
I dream only in grays
and when I reach for your hand
feeling only the sheets
my heart shatters once again
adding another piece

to the pile in my mind
of brokenness from the past
promises flowing
down the river
crashing with a splash
I miss your eyes
how they touched
deep into my soul
and how your loving words
made my heart whole

but I’ll find worthiness
on a dusty shelf
and lying beside it
will be the strength I seek
for even without your love
I won’t remain weak

I was reminiscing of an old friend
from many years ago…
Card design and yellow rose by my wonderful friend,
Angela at pathwayofpoetry.com.

Does this evoke memories of
someone special
from your past? ♥

with fingers entwined,

we stroll through constellations

the moon tags along

The years around my eyes
have a way of surprising me
because deep down inside
I feel amazingly youthful

but, when expected changes
begin to surface
no disguise is possible
for they are openly truthful

So, My Love, will you still see
the beauty from back then
and will you hold fast to
what lies within?

(Author’s note: I believe this is something
most people think of when they’re growing
older together. But, my words don’t
reflect any insecurity in my own marriage.
All is great there! )

Your gaze touches me
Can you feel my heart beating?
I feed on dreams of us
to escape the pain I’m feeling

I envy oceans’ waves
when they caress the shore
Your loving embrace I miss
how I long for when we were

Time is my enemy, though
for it moves slow as honey
but sweet memories of your kisses
remain my true company

One heart, one mind we’ll be
and I’ll see life in color again
for now, my head lies on your pillow
with love for you I can’t explain

Love Again (re-post)

On March 13, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic20 Comments

As sure as leaves will fall
at season’s change
and rain will drop
as clouds rearrange
I have fallen
through new doors opened
the key I thought
was lost forever
you have found so cleverly
the lock had suffered
yet, not broken for eternity~
