Timmy's Journal - 37. Poems For Evan and Hugh
I'm not sure where this story (working title: Evan and Hugh) will go, or if it will. But Evan is a poet, or he wants to be, so he needed some words. Here they are:
one.
My words are never good enough;
though chosen well, they never say,
what my longing heart truly feels—
I look to my soul for succor.
It offers me only solace,
not the phrases for which I beg—
only the poet's heart can sing,
those feelings that are vocable.
two.
Do the fates wish this end on me?
Alone—barefoot beside the sea.
Just single footprints in the sand,
no one along to hold my hand.
I pine for a love, sweet and fair,
who runs strong fingers through my hair.
Blesses me with kisses daring,
with a heart both kind and caring.
Rhymes i make as i await you,
and we leave footprints two by two.
three.
You opened the well of my heart.
And I do not know where to start.
To share the true depth of feeling,
which starts and keeps senses reeling.
Is it a mystic spell on me?
Something hidden I do not see.
Or does it bleed from high above?
No you whisper, it's naught but love.
four.
In the cool of a misty morn
Forlorn I walk in dewy grass
Your name whispered on cracked dry lips
My heart shattered like ancient glass
From me you took all I'd given
Leaving me a heart half empty
a soul begging for any scraps
but purging you is not easy
So I ease my broken spirit
With nature and a bird's sweet song
The sun's rays sweep you from my bones
Memories will be ash, ere long
