Maybe Not Today |

MAYBE NOT TODAY Looking where I've gone, trying hard to carry on, I once more pay the price. Seems that chances pass, sad, but yet I know I'm not alone. Love's eternal flame, a burn within this soul of mine that only meets with ice, How can I bring warmth, to someone whose heart is made of stone. Back along this winding road of sentiment and pride, All I ever met was painted lies, Once again I slowly recognise this pain inside, Maybe it should come as no suprise. Looking down the years, all I shed was silent tears for pain that would not heal, Once I lived a dream, then someone stopped the music and the dance. Hard to understand, maybe it's just me who gets the worst hand of the deal, Still I gamble on, though I've never won, I take the chance. Making dreams come real is not an easy thing to do, Many times I tried, and got it wrong, With hopes I have to steal, I re-adjust my point of view, Dancing out of step, I move along. In this world I know, many people fall below the image they present, Also it would seem, that many more have ended up like me. I wear the scorn of friendships torn, and what these people meant, Many fallen stars, so many hidden scars you cannot see. While I dwell on yesterday, tomorrow comes around, Picks me up, and brings me to today. Somewhere up ahead of me, a dream waits to be found, I only wish somehow, I knew the way. Feelings that run deep, memories I keep can never vanish from my mind, Most are bitter sweet, vows left incomplete and lovers gone. As to what will be, there is still a part of me that needs to look behind, Lessons I must learn, as I turn and try to carry on. In my mind I know I'll find you somewhere up ahead, Maybe not tomorrow, I can wait. Until I do, my search for you will fill my days instead, I'll see you in the future, don't be late........

Wonderful poem with 'kick' for an end line. I enjoyed it. You post so few poems that each one becomes a treat to enjoy. |
