The Edge of My Living

I awake each morning with hope in my heart,
with dreams from the night in my past.
Words unspoken, to follow my steps...
the pain of loving, to cast
it's shadows, creating their snapshot of me,
staining of face, in it's tears.
A bittersweet feeling has taken the place
of your warmth that would calm all these fears.

Lonely is lonely, you can't understand
the moon though, my secret, my quest.
Raindrops today, continue their touch,
kissing my morning to test
the resolve of my spirit, the balance of mind,
the influence, the hold of the reins.
I'm drowning in heart, my chamber of dreams,
as the edge of my living remains.

A child of the moon, my heart and my soul,
the moods that waver with time.
The river of tears, the pain given up
the words I repeat..."nevermind".
When the rain falls today, and the sun peeks from clouds
and the colours of arches appear,
my thoughts will remember, the colour of you
and emotions of wanting you near.


Nevermind... Senryu

"Nevermind" words crowd
the edges of my living.
Thoughts holding the reins.


Reins of You...Cinquain

Mindless
Words create thoughts
Colouring my edges.
Blue shades, wanting the reins of you
Resolved

"bittersweet...lonely...nevermind...
...sun peaks from clouds"
edgey but hopeful
nice writing, n/W/M

(and thanks for helping to keep form alive)

Sandra...
thank you for reading..I hope you are well

Interloper...
thank you, I love all forms of poetry and some poems lend themselves to a few different interpretations.

Kathleen...
Yes, isn't it fun to see how one idea can be made into three poems?

was the most meaningful verse to me...thank you *s

S Arthur...
More edgey, I am afraid, than hopeful and
thank you for reading and responding. I appreciate your kind words, and I will always experiment in rhyme and form...
