Ron VanHooser Poet Rhyme

Words I Write for You

Golden rays melt to flowing red, 
the stillness of the night ahead. 
Sitting by my lonesome self 
taking memories off the shelf. 

My fingers start to write 
in the quiet of the night. 
My words are from my heart 
so that is where I'll start. 

Place your hand in mine, 
walk with me through time. 
My words are yours to keep 
close beside you while you sleep. 

Each night a poem of love I write 
with feathered quill in black and white. 
My heart to you only I bare, 
with words of love, and how much I care. 

Writing in the hush of night, 
waiting for dawn’s coming light. 
It's a quarter of three 
and as always, there's only me.

Darlene De Beaulieu January 9, 2025 at 4:05 PM Hello Ron Vashooser, these are wonderful words for her. Enjoy your evening. /Darlene/ Darlene De Beaulieu January 10, 2025 at 4:18 PM Hello Ron Vashooser, Your wife is with you in spirit. Watching over you. It will take you time to heal. I know this because it took me 3 years to heal when my husband passed. Enjoy your evening my friend. /Darlene/ Ron VanHooser January 10, 2025 at 12:09 PM Thank you Darlene, unfortunately, this poem was written during the acute loneliness of having lost my wife after years of illness. That is why the ending says there is only me. We were married 28 years, sadly, she was ill for 26 of those. Losing her was a mixed blessing. Sadness and yet relief.
