I'm Not A Poet.....

As I go through my hard drive trying to organize items, delete duplicate pictures and file them under the proper month, day and year, I came across a file that had a few old poems I had written.... 

I found myself writing a lot throughout junior high & high school. Lyrics, poems, letters to friends, etc. This is one I had written years and years ago. I never got around to titling it though, but now looking back, it really doesn't need one. 

The soft tepid sand beneath my feet

   is swiftly cooled as the tide rolls in.

Sunset illuminating the sky’s crisp blue

   with fiery shades

The outlines of sailboats passing

   directly in the suns rays

Smells of the ocean arise

   the air now feels chilly following a balmy summer’s day.

Your lips meet mine and this moment

   becomes motionless, embedded in time.

We gaze into the distance as the sun

   settles in for the night.

My heart yearns for this point in time to remain

While now it appears only in my memories and dreams.

Rain gathers on the roof

Thunder bellows in the night's sky.

Silence between us as we take pleasure in

   all that is.

Words are not necessary

   as I’m assured that you are nearby,

   if only for a little while.

I can tell that you are bothered

   knowing it is from the time we were apart,

   yet suddenly feeling so lonely,

   though you are beside me.

I shake it off, although it still haunts me,

   there is nothing I can say or do,

   except wait…

Wait as I have before,

   wait as I will continue to do…

He’ll come around, I reassure myself

Just be here for him, let him know that you love him,

   show him that no matter what you care…..

Then when all is right, he’ll do the same for you…

I continue to patiently wait,

   hoping that our chance might transpire….
