Best In The Meantime Poems


Premium Member 'in the Meantime'

You inspired happy thoughts
Now the glimmer of joy
Somehow disappeared
Replaced by an absent stare

I wish I knew what was behind 
That shade of grey
I wish I knew what or who stole your joy

What turned your dancing into mourning?

In the meantime, 
I’ll keep you in my thoughts
In the meantime
I’ll be praying for you

For the sunshine to return
For your winter to be filled with warmth 
For the shadows to become light 

That you’ll find joy in life again

In the meantime I wish you hope --- 

      That is sometimes our most important asset

In the Meantime

I've picked the scabs until they bleed,
And then wonder why they never heal
Is it just a compulsive need
For pain to be what I mostly feel?

A Masochist- Antagonist!
Perfect Punch-drunk Pragmatist!
The Hypnotist who slits his wrists-
And I shall suffer in the midst

The Agony cuts one half of me
(I'll bear the brunt of all of this...)

In the Meantime

I  sit and get into this daze 
Or maybe just going through a phase 
On what I look for 
In my significant other
Or what we look for in each other
Maybe we're to afraid to speak our minds
So we speak from the heart
And then something starts to spark
Something so right 
I couldn't imagine what life without you would be like
So im trying to figure will I be
More than what you see 
In front of you
I want to be 
Your final clue 
To your puzzle
I want to love you ??
More than double
Save you the trouble
Of being heart broken
I'll be the words that need to be spoken
To make you become open
Express your feelings 
Show you have emotion
Let them flow 
Like you're in an ocean 
Have you ever been in a situation
That you thought was right
Somehow you couldn't see the light
So you found a flash
And with this light  it would last
We let go of the past 
And moved on
Admitting our wrongs
And our flaws 
Knowing that one day
We'll have it all
Me and you 
Against the world
That's the way it should be 
Yes
Complimenting  each other 
On success
Sticking together through these trials and test
Knowing that we're loved
At our best 
Loving Each other through it all
Sitting by the phone 
Waiting on your call 
A smile boy you keep on my face
Knowing that you're in it
To run this race ?? with me
Regardless
We are going to reap the harvest
Of everything we've done 
In the meantime
Lets have some fun ??
Enjoy 
Get to know each other 
And what it'll take 
For us to make it
In the meantime 
In between time
Lets listen
To each other dreams
Become the perfect team
Help no matter how hard it seems
Tell me what I mean
To you
And I promise I'll tell you to
You make the sky so blue
You make the stars twinkle to
You are the one 
I need and want 
You are the do to my don't
In the mean time
Let's plan 
To understand 
That we are both unique
From our head to our feet
In the meantime
 lets fulfill our purpose
Create a mission
Be able to make logical decisions
Have a vision 
And embrace it
With us together 
We can make it
In the meantime
We will find no ending
For this is only the beginning

In the Meantime

In the meantime is where I stand
Where my thoughts are as plain as land
As these grains of sand, Descend from my hands
My thoughts are dispensed from recent events
Get up or give up which decision will win
They only reply, decide but to survive its supply and demand
Suicide is how you die if you die within
Genocide is the death of those who will rise again
Never to be diminished only replenished
But to our demise we are but a sacrifice to them
We pay our tides to them
But in the meantime, only time is spent
So they say right now isn’t the time for this
                                                                            By: Loquita Shaw

In the Meantime

I’m waiting. Watching you, watching me.
I wonder, what you’ll tell the jury
When they’re deciding your fate?
Will you even make it to trial?
I see you cowering in some dark corner
After the dirty thoughts have fled from your wild mind 
Sucking on your fate, fetal style 
Now that you’ve done the deed.
My scent still fresh on your lizard scales
Excitement gives way to terror 
When you remember all of your mistakes 
Of trace evidence 
Pointing its bony finger, right at you!
Oh, but the ecstasy! Finality of it all!
You did it! You really did it!
