Love of poetry


I have written a lot of poems.. starting about 15 years ago. In a way this site once inspired me.as I began writing when I came here.

At first it was just Pen man ship. But the first poem I wrote, for me and about me, gave me a real sense of purpose both in defining my own life, and my view of the life.

LUNAR LOVE
She thought I hung the moon and all
Her eyes... told me so
It made me feel ten feet tall
That's all love needs to know

But expectations paid the devil's due
when what was paid, was not enough
The toll on love was the revenue
that counted the unimportant stuff

The moon shined over a sleeping mountain
Until changing eyes, said more than lips
And expectations she began to count on
Created a lunar eclipse

It may silly to you..but it told my story. How love can go.. when it's not meant to go anywhere, but a moment in time

Not silly at all ~~~~~

For me, the satisfaction/joy comes from my writings, not from what others may think of what I have written.

Keep on doing what you're doing!!
