Jan Allison Poet Free verse

Intermingle

I wiped away a single tear
That had fallen from my eye
(You told me simply we were friends)
You left me after only a year
(But you conceal your aching heart)
I often sit and ask myself why
Looking back on our time together
I remember those halcyon days
(My love for you it never ends)
I thought we’d be together forever
(You told me simply we were friends)
Now memories are a fading haze
Your hair so dark with eyes of brown
(Dreaming of you my heart ascends)
So full energy with a sense of fun
(Forbidden love keeps us apart)
Always happy you were never down
We’d go out together and have a run
(You told me simply we were friends)
You’d always reward me with a soppy kiss
(But you conceal your aching heart)
I’ll never forget the day you got knocked over
Never a day passes when you I don’t miss
How I loved my darling dog Rover

William Gray March 6, 2015 at 4:06 AM Hi Jan, hope you are well my friend!. Lost one of my dogs that way, several years ago, it was heart breaking. My current pet Scoop is struggling with age now, he often licks my face clean, with soppy kisses, dreading when he goes. - Loved this piece *7*. Big Hugs Jan. Jan Allison March 6, 2015 at 4:09 AM Thanks William - I have never owned a dog but the original poem was based on a friend's pet who passed away. The challenge Craig set us was hard - trying to find 2 poems to link together is quite a task - this was my 6th attempt! Hugs jan xx
