The world was black and white
My only company was I
Hours came and hours passed
Hollow minutes seemed to crawl
Until one certain day we met
And with fate’s golden brush
My life was painted
With colors all of you

Yesterday
Yesterday you were my partner
Your love held my hand
Our time together, it will never be the same
Yesterday is over
All I am left with
Is a confrontation with today
Puppy Love
I love your tiny heart
I love your tiny sounds
Your newborn eyes still closed
I love your puppy scent
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Fresh.”
Harmony
Waves of emotion carry me along
The journey of every day, as I awake
Each morning with the realization that
A new day has dawned, and an uncertain
Future is held out to me, anxiety gives way
To fear and inability to see my way through the fog
And after the day is passed and a new morning has dawned
I feel relief when I discover that the
Clouds have given way to clear skies and harmony
Being Led
I left despair, and started to walk
Much like the typing of my hands
I did not know quite where my words
Or how my legs would lead me there
But in my trust I let all go, and allowed
Myself to be led home. I have arrived.
Rudi
From my distant past
Long years ago
A soul reached out
And told me so
My heart was touched
I felt his love
From a life long dead—
Help from above
Vapor
The feeling in my chest rises up
I awaken out of my slumber with the
Realization that it was all a dream
And everything is just vapor
Breathing
Every night
When I hear you sleep
I hear
Each breath you take
The beating
Of your resting heart
Keeps you
Alive and here with me
And when
That beating stops
You would
Be taken away from me
So finally
Flavors
I Stopped Loving
You loved me
And I loved you
You were with me
During the night
Your face so clear
We spoke again
I stopped loving
And you married her
But last night
It was you and me
Again, alone
I stopped loving
But you never did
