Rest of my life
John michalski Nov 2015
The sun set carrasses the moon lit waves.
The sun rise sparkles upon the dew dropped morning glories.
Our love is enriched through each day of our lives.
Happiness is now ours to spend with each other.
To care,
Love,
Share,
Forever.
Old footprints I once knew is now yours and mine.
Let's walk the plank of life holding each other close,
Never letting go to fall.
I may sleep and never wake,
But I know I ll always love you.
I may cry,
But the tears won't fall.
Maybe because now I've got it all.
Because we have each other,
And don't need anything else.
You're all I need,
Want,
And truely love.
For the rest of my life.

For your memory
John michalski Nov 2015
The corn craves the rain.
The storm clouds in the distance rolling away.
Sitting here watching the sunset,
Feeling the pain.
All my tears have dried and went down with the day.
Birds singing,
Calling for a mate.
Someone to snuggle up to at night.
Ivy trails across a rusted gate.
Colors fading from the days light.
Life seems so numb since you've been gone.
Days go by in slow motion,
But life seems to keep going on.
Seasons come and go,
Just as you did.
Standing at the window where we first kissed.
Watching the snow fall slow onto the cold hard ground.
Wondering if somewhere maybe your thinking of me.
Until then,
I thank you for your memory.

second thoughts
John michalski Jul 2016
yes:
I could go on
Believing
Thinking
Feeling
That everything is OK,
That everything is perfect for once.
How i could buy you a pretty diamond ring,
Yet have second thoughts about everything.
Or maybe I could buy you roses from time to time,
Just for you to look at once and then throw them away.
How you could say I love you and
I would say it back,
Yet one of us never fully meant it.
How we can both love and grow to hate each-other
Like wild animals fighting over dominance
You show your teeth,
I show you mine.
Id rather swim,
Then drown in the moments that are left to remember.
If I do so happen to drown,
Let it be the whiskey that i drown in.
Stop And Smell The Roses. Selected poems- will be available in June 2017.

In her image
John michalski Dec 2015
I fell in love in a small cafe,
Down on main street.
I remember like it was just yesterday.
It was snowing outside,
A real heavy snow.
People would come and go,
Talking about anounomous things.
Smiling,
Laughing,
Drinking there coffee,
With a little cream and some extra sugar.
The love that has been brought and shared within this place,
Made it beautiful.
For the woman who caught my eye,
Was the woman that I didn't recognize.
Her eyes had a shine to them,
That lit up the whole room.
A comforting feeling,
That made me feel right at home.
A child again,
Staring at a tree that glistened with Christmas lights,
On a Sunday morning.
Indeed she stole my heart with just one look,
That said it all.
She danced in empty halls,
That lead to my soul.
Raining golden drops of beauty,
In her image.

Someone better
John michalski Nov 2015
I won't hold my breath.
This time it's different.
Measuring the distance of everything we've loved,
Just to throw it all away.
You've made the choice to go.
Your heart matches the color of a shadow.
So black,
So broken,
And fragile.
I'll hide my tears out in the rain,
Waiting for someone better to say my name.
Dancing alone,
To the sound of a million heartbeats.

— The End —
