Notes About The Poem

Next Time

When all the lines you crossed but didn't see
Grow darker by the day upon your face
Your rosy blush of youth has been erased
And cheeks are drawn where dimples used to be

Your train of thought fueled by a memory
Runs tracks of time that don't lead anyplace
The stops along the way will be retraced
Then one day it will stop in front of me

I'd like to think the pause will bring a smile
Your heather colored eyes would brightly bloom
Your heart would beat the rhythm of a rhyme
You'd disembark and stay a little while

And when you blink I'll be back in the moon
The smile so warm it lasts until next time

I love this poem it is well written.I got through with the poem I had trouble to write.I have a question. What is a character? I needed the word Mr and I put the period after the word Mr and my poem did not go through.I wrote it six times before I got it right. Why?

I swear I flashed to Steve Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young. His piano with a collaberative CSN arrangement, ah - lovely. Are you swaying with me? A delightful find that I may finally fav. I'm not kidding about CSN - I really went there the first time and 2nd, but just this 3rd time, identified where I 'went.' Okay. Soo good ... CayCay

"Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind. Had to get away to see what we could find" "All on board the train" You mean like that? Thank you CayCay, such distinguished company:)
