Tim Smith Poet Rhyme

I Walk On

Last hints of light lay down 
gasping in the night 
reaching for a touch 
a comfort loved so much 

I walk on 
where darkness plays her song 
fearing what went wrong 
too fast and way too strong 

No excuses no regrets 
one gives and then one gets 
no others laying claim 
in love there is no shame

The light lays down
and I walk on

Pashang Salehi July 22, 2017 at 3:20 AM Very beautiful .... walking on the light creates a shadow that hates darkness...

Verlecia Fields July 21, 2017 at 3:50 AM the poem made me think of complete passion - and losing it - but the poem seemed like two poems put together?

Jean Murray July 19, 2017 at 4:37 PM Tim, you express what I miss. How I long for just one kiss. Here's hoping you have the happy ending you deserve.
