The Dance Doesn'T Have To End

egnimatic ocean floats in the air as we sit in green bean, waiting the 24 carrot will rock tonight we'll dance under the influence of an intoxicating new love grounded in this moment our lives entwined in celebration we are easy about our differences carefree and reckless the future a hungry canvas to saturate with vibrant hues precious firstborn enters our world and our bond is now stronger the reality time-shifted, yet the celebration continues even though the tendrils of addiction begin to slow-choke our spirits memories become infected now with the anchors of mortality suffocating truths that bleed pleasures we once took so casually for granted no longer resilient about those differences so let's remember where we started and why we chose to share our journey find a way to forgive and move on before fate leaves the other wondering what a senseless thing pride can be

Jon,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"

Thank you for the welcome. I mainly do free verse but have rhymes and have experience with other styles. I hope to post more on here. I'm not into a poem a day writing style but when the inspiration hits which seems to be an average of 2 a month...lol. Only recently moved from prose to poetry(last year) I'll read some of yours ??
