Twinkle twinkle little star How I loved you from afar Now I want the whole world to know If our hearts unite I’ll never let you go You really meant the world to me But when we met we were not free The love that burned within my heart Was so intense right from the start We met at work twenty years ago Just one smile left my heart aglow I always called you my shining star In a designer suit and your red sports car We were engaged to others, knew it was wrong Still the passion grew and it burned so strong You brought me lacy underwear We met in secret and had an affair Wracked with guilt - we had to part The last time I saw you broke my heart Thoughts of you were often in my head But we both moved on and in time got wed We are both divorced and now are free Do you still have those old feelings for me Guess we've changed a lot over the years Had our share of happiness and tears Meeting with you now it is down to fate Can we rekindle our love or is it too late? 04~23~15 Contest Twinkle Twinkle Little Star – Kelly Deschler ~awarded 2nd place~

Love reading your replies on this piece. Your creativity is showing great variety which is rewarding for you and the reader. Variety, the spark of poetry. There are far too many quatrains (and worse, free verse) on romance and making love. This stretched you out of your comfort and highlights your talent with the pen.

Jan Allison
Date: 4/24/2015 2:02:00 AM

Thank you for the most lovely comment I have received Reason - I simply have to go with the flow of my pen I have no control - I prefer certain forms and free verse is not really my style but there are some amazing writers of this style like Armand - you have made my day thank you:-) Hugs Jan xx

G'day Jan... your poem has all the topics on how so many go off the rails and then try to climb back on again. Sometimes it works, but over time people change - Thank you Jan - Lindsay

I have heard of this recently Lindsay but sometimes it is best to let the past stay as a distant memory:-) Hugs Jan xx

I have to go with my muse Eve - I have no idea how a poem is going to end when i start it - this only took about 10 mins to write it just flowed - my hubby was gobsmacked when I read it to him - so unlike me lol:-) Hugs Jan xx

Loved this love story poem Jan. Keep em coming it's enhancing my reading ;-) hugs//James xxx

James Fraser
Date: 4/23/2015 1:02:00 PM

Never refuse ones muse for it can always be enhanced by pondering said idea and bettering. It's rare one destroys a poem, for I think the writer knows when to stop. Just my thoughts xxx

Jan Allison

Aww you say the kindest things James - I have to go with my muse - these poems are out of my usual comfort zone but I have to go with the flow of my pen:-) Hugs Jan xx
