John Posey Poet Rhyme

Friends Or Lovers

Sometimes in your eyes I see
Reflections of what I dream could be.
But, then life's mirror tells me, "No!
That's somewhere you can never go."
So, sometimes mirrors can reflect
things we never should expect.
And, if just friends we're meant to be,
Let God's sweet gift last eternally.

You are you, and I am me
and life may pass uneventfully.
Yet, we cannot see beyond today
and hope lives in another day.
So, dear sweet friend, let's live today
and let tomorrow find it's way
so when and where it all may end
we never lose God's gift as friends.

Shaz Cheesman November 4, 2012 at 1:24 AM John this is such a wonderful poem. The conflict of the heart and mind sometimes is tricky to navigate. I admire this poem greatly...well written.......Shaz John Posey November 4, 2012 at 1:28 PM Thanks Shaz. I use every bit of reality around me in developing my work. Each thing I write reflects someone's experience or something inside me that needs expression. In writing I follow this strategy.... Listen.. If it touches a nerve, let it develop.. Write it.. edit... Rewrite and rewrite again... The product usually turns out all right.
