From the Heart
Hope springs eternal,
I know that’s what they say.
This has always troubled me,
at least until today.
Until I saw you reaching up,
from the icy ground.
I realised in that moment,
it was hope I’d found.

Lovingly you looked at me,
as you walked out of the door.
Eyes so soft and soothing,
I’ll remember them for sure.
Lovingly you said farewell,
and you blew me one last kiss.
I thought you’d be returning,
at least that was my wish.
Lovingly I think of you now,
your never far from my mind.
A love so true and honest,
would be impossible to find.
I have your picture hanging,
on the wall just near the door.
Your loving eyes still watch me,
and they shall forevermore.

The Daily Prompt – Lovingly
When I am gone from here
and you remember me.
I’m hoping that it will be
in things you cannot see.
I’d like to leave you riches,
I’m doubting that I will.
Except richness of memories,
those I hope to fulfil.
~
When I leave this place,
I’m leaving you my love.
That which will continue,
from the heavens above.
My love will last forever,
finer than anything more.
My love for you is precious,
I have so much in store.
~
When I’ve been gone a while,
move on with your life.
I’ll be walking with you,
in happiness and strife.
I’ll ask you not to mourn,
because I’ll still be there.
When you want me call me,
call me from anywhere.
~
When my face is fading,
as you try to bring it near.
Know that it won’t matter,
of that I’m very clear.
My face is just the physical,
I’ll then be flying high.
See me in the daily things,
I’ll always be near by.

How can I possibly resist you,
there’s nothing to compare.
There such a richness to you,
you drown away my cares.
You’re bold yet understated,
there is a velvet undertone.
When I see you on the shelf,
I just have to take you home.
😉
Loving todays Daily Prompt as there are so many things I can’t Resist

So we’re getting close to midnight,
the clock is almost there.
Only two and a half seconds away,
but does anybody care.
It has gone forward thirty seconds,
we are closer to the end.
The hands of time are moving fast,
on that you can depend.
So who out there will stop the tick,
stand up for what is right.
Resist the false and bring us back,
before doomsday tonight.

Daily Prompt Word – Resist

I wonder what I’m searching for
within this, my time on earth.
Answers being just out of grasp,
maybe happiness and mirth.
But surely there’s more than that,
in those answers that I seek.
Some don’t know their searching,
you can hear it as they speak.
When I was young I didn’t know
I might be searching for clues.
In thinking that I was out of luck
when I suffered the blues.
As I became much older just I knew
that there had to be more.
But what that is and where it lies
I’m still not so totally sure .
I think that I’m a little bit nearer
but will I ever get there.
There really seams so much to find
with so little time to spare.
I wonder if I lived some more,
like another hundred years.
If I’d find those answers I seek
and life my would be clear.

I was devastated when you walked out on me.
Surprised, lonely, so confused as I hadn’t seen.
You pulled away the carpet, I fell upon the floor.
You tore me to small pieces as you left the door.
Throughout this devastation you just carried on.
For one moment we’re lovers, next you are gone.
What did you expect of me, stay just where I lay.
I’m sorry my old chaperone, I’ll live another day!

Daily Prompt – Devastation
I saw you in those shadows,
but you never walked on in.
You were always watching,
considered mostly everything.
Today you came to centre,
that mirror opened wide.
I walked in to join you there,
in the place that you reside.
I see you now much clearer,
in the etchings on my face.
Turning from the mirror now,
but I know you leave a trace.
Suppose it’s time to join up,
we’re heading the same way.
It’s time for me to face you,
as all those things I never say.

This year brings a brand new me,
I’m creating her from the old.
Casting away what I don’t like,
what still remains is untold.
Inside I think it’s much easier,
with a gradual change over years.
Now when I look in the mirror,
I’m ready to let go of the tears.
The path I was on has ended now,
I came to the end of the road.
I couldn’t sustain it anymore,
I was carrying such a big load.
Called it a day and I’m selling up,
I am culling from what own.
I’m planning to travel for a while,
before I find my new home.
I’m not sure how I’ll live my life,
but pressure won’t be as high.
I know that I want to work with love,
there’s lots out there I can try.
So if you have any tips from life,
please let me know your ideas.
I’m hoping what I have in front,
will be the very best years.

Someday you might understand,
but I don’t think while you’re here,
there’s far more to life than money,
it’s your loved ones who are dear.
Someday you might just realise,
it’s deeds and word mean more,
not materialism or fancy friends,
it’s a big surprise you have in store.
Someday you might saunter back,
but much too late to undo the past,
it’s the things that you are doing now,
that I’m afraid is what will last.
Someday you might regret those words,
that leapt out before you thought,
the ones that scared our tender hearts,
and sabotaged all of our talks.
Someday it might be painful,
when you look back on the life you led,
you’ll want to make it up to us,
but I fear not until you are dead.
