Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

If I Ever Knew

If I ever knew this day would come 
when my muse stops showing up
and words stop flowing through,
I would have breezed upon each chapter
all these breaths l feel for you.
If I ever knew our bench would once be empty,
Creases vanish from my coat
Our peach tree lies unaccompanied ,
and Spring-gardens will turn cold.
If I ever knew a night would come
where I stopped counting stars
in the jazzy sky so blue ...
I would have stopped the time in yester's arms,
and whispered , I love you.

Justin Bordner November 21, 2015 at 7:38 PM Prophesy is often an Art that saddens the heart Charma, it is better not to rob the future of it's rewards and punishments, it's suspense and justice...no other Poetess speaks of her heart the way you do. Your muse is whispering for you still my Lady Hawk...J.A.B.

John Loving Iii November 21, 2015 at 4:48 PM Three years old wow. And this piece reminds me of myself. My last piece was written while watching someone who has a spell on me. I saw her yesterday
