After Part Poems | Examples

Chase after chase
Ends with swift fest
Pace after pace
Ends with strange quest.


Start after start
Mimics life's pulse
Part after part
Strings strange impulse.


Dream after dream
In plunging fit
Scheme after scheme
Lifts easy bits

I want to peer downwards
From such high altitudes
              Where
                         Testing my limits
                                             I drop a few stones
                                                                               And a few

Minutes later I hear that one singular

 thud
                                Breathtaking
                     Peering
So far far down
                                                   

I want icy tundra
Weather
To
Make me shiver
The snow silently falling
Snowflakes dance on 
my fingertips
as they
kiss my 
eye lashes
So soft you
Can hear me
Whisper?
I want to slide along in my sled
While
Dog teams
Exhale into the night
In the beautiful
Twilight
I think of you
When
We pass under
The northern lights


I want to love you for the rest of my life
Which
Would be my greatest adventure
Into
The unknown
With
only
our hearts as guides
apprehensively so
But bringing
Me my life’s pleasure
I’ve been gone so long
Searching for something I couldn’t put my finger on
To walk through this world
hand in hand
Facing life together

Is Lifes
Secret
Treasure
