We Had Today

After

All was said and

All was felt

After

Thoughts rang new and

Words appeared true

After

Tears were felled and

Futures quelled

We stand here in hand

Knowing for sure

Against all

Circumstances allay

Holding you here

We had Today

In Blessed Memory

June 10, 2019Poetry, Relationshipsloss, poem, poet, PoetryDrew B

Lost a blessed soul yesterday

Her candle extinguished

Too early, without warning

Hollow silence ensued

Each day we meet with expectation

One so young

Assumptions seem assured

Alas time too short

To all who knew her

We pray for your peace

To those who never will

We cry as her light was bright

Though void crushing and stark

With hope we trudge forward, eyes ahead

This road without her

Lit on promises read

Our lead in pain, continues

In blessed memory of Sam

Epitaph

June 6, 2019Poetry, Relationshipsdeath, life, love, lovefound, lovelost, poem, poet, Poetry, RelationshipsDrew B

This morning

Awoke to not your tossing

Stood to not help you dress

Walked to not pour your coffee

Started to not fuss about the mess

Today

Read to not get you the paper

Rinsed to not dry your dish

Moved to not adjust your seat

Jumped to not relieve another wish

Tonight

Laid to not help lift you to bed

Put away to not sit and cradle your head

Sang to not help you to sleep

Lie here to not check your heart beat

Some day

I’ll believe it was your time

I’ll know we peaked the long climb

But each step today broke me so

I loved you today the same

As when we met that lifetime ago

Watching for a Sign

June 6, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslovefound, lovelost, poem, poet, Poetry, RelationshipsDrew B

Waiting

Wondering

If just the smallest

Hint

A whiff

That look

From across the room

Just for

Me

That message

Proving

Once

And for all

You

Care

Totally

Just give me

A sign

You’re in love

With

Only

Me

Please

June 4, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslove, lovelost, poem, poet, Poetry, RelationshipsDrew B

Those

Memories

Looks

Words

Walks

Tastes

Smiles

Glances

Dances

Hugs

Undid

Ruined

Disolved

Replaced

Saved

Me

Please

Don’t

Do

This

Willow

June 3, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslovefound, poem, poet, Poetry, RelationshipsDrew B

She sashays in waves

Brushing my cheek

Light tendrils wrap me

Greens and love

Her roots grasp

Hold desperately tight

Our earth is one with

A hug for eternity

She’s my willow

I’m her wind

The Crucible

June 2, 2019Poetryhelp, life, poem, poet, PoetryDrew B

Veritable change

Ignites this humble implement

Some ask

Others push back

With all their might

Until they stop

Some are born here

Others wake wounded

Broken

Changed

Their crucible

Forged in acknowledgement

Poured out in a request

“please help”
