Tim Smith Poet Free verse

To See the Truth

Firefly flights fight off nightly resistance
lighting up another gloom disjointed day
booms and busts shoot out into the wind 
honest tears turn over and just wait inside 

Fading off with scents of bitter almond
strange as that may seem to be  fading
magnolias setting off dire bursts of color
blinding the times  grasping back at me

Truth lies in the eyes of rightful beholder
knowing yes I'm in love  alone forever true
but broken the heart  held in faint quarters
heard calling softly to be pulled by the moon

Darren White July 5, 2017 at 1:25 PM Oww, with the music playing, and then reading your poem? That last stanza my friend... awesome.

Charlie Smith July 5, 2017 at 1:03 PM Killer last verse Tim, very well written...

Daniel Turner July 5, 2017 at 9:08 AM Almost didn't see you tucked in here amongst this serial poster. Sad write, Tim but very poetic my friend. It's sad when a person has so much love to offer but no one to offer it to.

Chris Green July 5, 2017 at 6:40 AM The sadness and loneliness is easily felt in this wonderful poem. It seems a broken heart can sure fuel some of the best work. Nicely done my friend.

Heidi Sands July 4, 2017 at 3:30 PM Another beautiful poem Tim! I love it and ends perfectly :)

Anne-Lise Andresen July 4, 2017 at 2:49 PM - First class talented written, Tim - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Lin Lane July 4, 2017 at 2:10 PM The White Wolf reflects my sentiments on your last two lines. All of your verses mirror the thoughts of the song, "fade in to you. Strange you never knew." Sorrowful it is to love someone and they never knew. All credit to you for these treasures of lines, Tim.

White Wolf July 4, 2017 at 1:51 PM This gave me goosebumps, Tim! Pulled by the moon! What a way to end an awesome piece, my friend! But broken the heart held in faint quarters! So poetic! Great penmanship mate
