Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Beyond the Rainbow's End

When puppy love nipped at our heels
 How we had fun when luv was young
  We were yet to know just how love feels
 How much it would hurt when heartache stung
 
 Years passed by, we went our ways
 Then I met her not long ago
 We reminisced on bygone days
 Spoke of life, and things, you know

 We said goodbye with warm embrace
 With longing looks as old friends do
 Some other time some other place
 We'd shoot the breeze, dinner, a brew?
 There's a pot of gold in an old friend
  Which you'll find beyond the rainbow's end

CayCay Godwin March 24, 2019 at 7:31 PM I love this, the feel is very personal to me because I've experienced this many times, and you delivered its depths in crisp lines of simplicity that I know weren't simple at all, but talent at work. I really enjoyed this poem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
