John Loving Iii Poet Bio

April

In my mind
is a box of memories
I open the box
and you appear
I allow myself
to make deliveries
of when you were
alive and near
and sometimes I make
discoveries
that  back then 
wern't so clear
My memory is
the only wittness
for a love so dear
Your words were
few and simple
And eye's they
never lied
The moments
we had together
were  the best 
in my life
to be loved 
as I love
To that nothing 
can compare
In my box of 
memories
this will always
be there
Tears and laughter
are some of the things
I wish that I could share
with you
Joy and pain
are still emotions
being gone
you still do
In my box of memories
that I have filled 
with you
I close and lock 
my love
And seal it with
I do

Mark Peterson January 9, 2014 at 3:23 PM This is so very tender and lovely. And I imagine somewhat difficult--though not hard--to write.

Andrea Dietrich December 25, 2013 at 11:17 PM awesome poetical bio. Mine was so much like a real bio it did not read very poetic for that one contest. (wish I had not followed the Soup definition of bio poem,) THIS is the way to do it!!!
