Tim Smith Poet Rhyme

A Love That Can Wait

Dreams of driving in the fast lane

hair in the wind, best girl at my side

a couple of kids rumbling in the back seat

to the promised land we happily ride.

Lately my praises of you don't seem to matter

 things once perfect now just don't seem right

all the little things I do go unnoticed

you even forgot to kiss me goodnight

If you don't say anything how do I know if something's wrong

we're heading the wrong way on a one way street

been too many nights since I felt us make love

 words can't convey how much I care, my sweet

I will be your rainbow when your storm has passed

a comforting wind waiting at your ocean's shore

I'll be your moon glow and your shining light

 I'll be here for you when you open that door

No need for you to utter a single word

For even in silence, your love can be heard

Paul Callus September 10, 2015 at 10:02 AM Keeping feelings and problems hidden inside will not solve anything. Given time they will come tumbling out, perhaps with a flow of tears, but once they do the waiting would have been worth it. // paul

Jaycee Cervenka September 9, 2015 at 5:53 PM Oh the ebb and flow of relationships. It's hard to understand why someone goes quiet, sometimes it's not about the relationship, but something else entirely. I can be guilty of this, but then mood changes and things are fine with just a few words. Generally starting with I love you. Great poem of reassurance, Tim. Even when she feels far, those words are just what is needed. jan

Charmaine Chircop September 9, 2015 at 3:30 PM This is so beautiful Tim..Yes,sometimes those we hold close to heart change for reasons one cant explain..or maybe give us the impression they changed, but they have their own burdens along the way....Your poem sounds hopeful though...and leaves a beautiful message of comfort towards the end..A fav!!! Tim Smith September 9, 2015 at 3:32 PM Thanks Charma. hugs Tim
