Poems I'Ve Written Never Meaning To Send

In the mid-night hour
So many poems lay dominant!
Words glued together yet
Floating around as light as a feather!
Since the weather in my life will always change
I arrange these poems to be read during the darkest night

Writing a poem
Hidden with a damage rhyme
Knowing that life will forever
Echo a flame that speaks from the heart

Poems that I wrote 
Never meant to be sent
But in reality there is a Word for every situation!

Brandy Nicole July 3, 2022 at 2:23 PM I have many poems tucked away, that have never been posted. Sometimes, writing those emotions (without sharing) is what the heart needs. Of course, when the time is right, certain poems stored in a corner, are brought to the light. This is a wonderful poem, Mark. It belongs in the spotlight, and in my favorites. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy

I Am Anaya July 3, 2022 at 10:49 AM Congratulations Mark on POTD! Romance is tough, you can't just take it back once it's out there, "I can't believe I said that" will haunt you! But, it's better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all. Push send! ;)
