Moments I watch silently As you cry. Your tears reminding me Of how our lives slipped by. Like grains of sand. Trickling through our fingers We tried to catch them, But nothing lingers. The clouds float by in the sky Like another moment gone by. I cherish those moments, The good days When we lived life to it's fullest. Look how much has changed. Your tears are because of me. It's ok. Go ahead, cry freely... Snapshot I sort thru the memories Colored snapshots of my life Full of vivid intimacy And heart rending strife I stare at them fondly Or hang my head and cry Truth resounding Among hidden lies I see all my choices And what I did with them Echoing voices Once audible, now dimmed More the shame, life restrained Life is a picture book Memories of how you lived What will you do with it You make the choice, it's a gift....
This is pretty good. Pretty soon the hipforum gurus will probably move it to the hipforums/poetry thread. Meter and rhyme could improve, but I'm not saying I could do better.
