She Writes Jul 2018
I wrote I love you in the sand
The waves washed it away
Before you got the chance to see

I whispered I love you
Sleep stole you away
Before you got the chance to hear

Maybe this is meant to be
A missed connection
Between you and me
Your name will still go on as a legacy
You turned everyone’s dreams into a reality
You put out the stepping stones leading to success
You were the Walt to my Disney but only so much more
Every door that was closed by doubt was opened with your infinite outpouring of hope and love
Anne Jul 2018
Composing this
to mind to you
how much I miss
your glowing hue
At dusk I would
remember this
I pray you could
remember too
Nine minutes
before I turn
and leave you here
to stay and churn
Your rosy lips
I dreamed upon
will now be gone
by the eclipse
Your name, it scared
my scarlet heart
from every pulse
and every part
Until the dawn
I best move on,
for best of me
from now on
Greek of fire
you make me warm
I could lay here
yet you pay harm
Little by little
I set you free
but all my words
come back to me
Come back to me
I miss your blue
I still love you
please, love me too?
How could I
stop this bleeding?
for my heart's heeding
is your eyes
Who must I
look upon
an inspiration
already gone
These empty skies
And perished stars
my teary eyes
your frozen heart
What such a beautiful creature will be missed so much by the devil
Colm Jun 2018
I cannot help
But feel the feeling
That our trains have passed
In the dead of night
One before the other
Ever so slight
Just passing by, one before the other...have we both since turned?

Im done!
Im done!
Im done...trying to chase you!

Done trying to make you See
when you've only just been Looking
Done kocking on your door
You aren't even home
Done wearing my heart on my sleeves
You keep breaking my Arm

I made a fool of myself
With hopes that it'll make you laugh
Offered my All
You didnt even want Half

Now the flames burnt out
And my confidence back on
It'll be too late
When you realise...You Missed Out
Lon Witter May 2018
I'm living day by day
Nothing seems my way
I try hard everyday
But waste my time anyway

Living alone without you
Longing for the days with you
Days get darker and darker
You get further and further

I try to keep up with you
But I can't catch up with you
I tried to follow your steps
But I lost them in the end.

I've seen it now
mentioned twice
by poets in their lines

somehow I must have
missed
this mission that was assigned

I guess I wasn't quite
paying enough
attention

boy! I sure hope
I don't end up
in detention

I must have fallen asleep
in class

whoops!

better behave
cause
this way I'll never pass

I just found out
about
April's poem a day

oh well, too late now
perhaps I'll try it in May
After I posted, I looked. Quite by accident, I have written a poem every day so far. Of course, it's only the 7th!

from between the soft-pink
of your lips,
pillows of moonlight fall.

the moment we never met held
nothing but shame for me,
longing gazes across the field.

you didn't know i existed.
oh, to be young. and dead.
i recovered from my bought of goodbye cruel world

instead, yours took you.
i dance underneath your teeth
in the softness of nightingale tears.

i arise, with dreams of nothing
but your face.
will i see you again,
this time under the stars?
Look up Deshaun Adderly, Bend Oregon for the full story.
Rest in power.
