Harry Horsman Poet Sonnet

Reminiscing First Love

Sitting this moment under skies of grey
Reading some old poems I once wrote with you,
Contemplating where you are now this day
Sharing words our collaboration knew.

The love we shared on a day once like this
In times so long ago; the spring of youth,
My heart heaved in heavenly days of bliss
Speaking words of unmitigated truth.

Yet you went away far over the sea
Your parents taking you on life’s voyage,
Waving with a kiss as you left the quay
The horizon forever more my bridge.
I was only six and you only nine
Wondering if ever your thoughts as mine.

Robert Lindley December 5, 2014 at 10:49 PM Back again to relate that my wife suggests I write some poems like this! I had to point out this was a co-write with a lady's words in it too. My wife replied, then find a poetess to write with you. I dared not mention such is easier said than done. lol Congrats to you both-again!

Robert Lindley December 2, 2014 at 10:18 AM A superb collaboration. Giving a solid 7 and will surely have my wife read this great write tonight. Always a delight to find and read such inspiring work. Congrats to you both!

Monterey Sirak October 12, 2014 at 7:20 AM Tender memories of youth. I can just picture the little boy and girl with heads close, a pencil clutched in a small fist, whispered words being transferred to paper. Ah the magic of love in the time of innocence. You perfectly described it.
