[hometext] => I wrote this poem when I wasn't in a good mood, it just felt right at the time. I didn't actually do any of this
[bodytext] => Gripping it tightly, A memory of you. Like throwing a ball attached to a string, Your face keeps coming back. Struggling to make ends meet, To make you see me, For what may be the first time. Like fighting a loosing battle, The outcome is inevitable. You've been branded in my memory, Like a scar, That doesn't allow anything in, Not even sunlight. There is only one way to remove you, By removing myself. With the barrel of a gun, Pointing to the back of my throat. No, it's not worth it. I remove the shotgun from my mouth. I hold my breath, But my oxygen deprived lungs only fight back. Suddenly, As if a message from God, You softly touch my shoulder. As I turn I am greeted, Not by the usual smile, But by a tear moistened face. What have I done? What was I thinking? I dont want your memory to fade, For it is what keeps up together, Even when we are miles upon miles apart. It's what gives me a hug when you are out of arms reach. As I wipe the tears from your eyes, A single tear forms and falls from mine. You smile, Ohh how I love your smile...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
