Long Time heals all wounds Poems

 POTD 25 Nov 2020

Manage your Stress … a peeling faded poster boldly declares 
I do get it about advertising campaigns. 
Enough to know that,
‘strategically placed ads’ catching the eye, is huge. 
But this poster...

When you hear your past calling
And you know better than to answer
But you answer them anyways
You can try to justify the who and the why
And yet you know that nothing good can come of this
It...

When Wishes were made on a shooting star
The Heavens looked down and smiled
With sprinkles of stardust on a whisper of moonbeams
They created for us a child

Soothed you were by twinkling stars
In a crib that faced...

I never knew until that moment how bad it could hurt
To lose someone you never really had,
Days can be tough and at times cruel
To much for one to bear alone..

I was hoping that...

Staring into the mirror looking your self into the eyes is said to be a window to the soul. What do you really see? When you glare into the battered abyss of the emptiness of...

My car-ride silence
is not judging you;
maybe me,
but certainly
and more generously
unconditionally not angry
or shaming
or blaming
you for unpardonable sins
against sainted me.

With you in a powerless passenger seat
and me in a self-punishing driver's
need to alone defeat
our unshared lonely...

Time it passes without any warning
I remember when I had a lot of hair
In a flash the hair is all gone
It isn’t much any more
It’s all grey now
Time hmm it flies just like that
People leave...

It had only been a few days
Still unfamiliar with my grief, (it was my first time, you see...)
I was such a novice to the proper routine
Of condolences, phone calls, and flowers
Pity in the air, ...a...

Everyone has heard it said a million times before
Time heals all wounds you past you eventually will be able to shut the door
And broken hearts can and will always mend
I for one can not however...

Sprinkle salt and pepper upon my distasteful flavor
It’s been a while, baby
Since I saw you smile freely
I like to say ‘yes’…I’d like to say ‘yes’
To your beautiful face…
It was never a disgrace
Graceful gifts exchange
Waiting for...

Days fly
Weeks pass by 
Still I cry
Everything I knew was nothing more then a pretty lie
So much pain trapped inside 
You killed my dream of one day becoming your bride
You took me for a ride...

The moon so bold seems cold
with a halo of midnight glow
I sit mesmerized as the night grows old.

I bleed still, even after all these years
and I wait again through the night
aching in the depths of...

I marvel how touch touches deepest chord, 
That rest of senses scarce can ever match, 
Time heals old wounds, touch stays on for long stored, 
And leaves a sign, a lasting mark to etch,

Dear heart,
Please stop beating your rhythm of love,
It's not healthy to my sanity. 
The luster of lies you believe,
Will slowly eat you alive.
Bleed and let go,
Shatter and break for in the morning,
Band aids will heal...

The Sun
By Kevin Robey
February 1, 2013

Damn this sun, it really burns
Why do you smile when it returns?
You spread your eyes, take in the light
Your beautiful sky, so blue and bright

Through harmonies of breeze in the...

He can fly with his wings, but the eagle soars with the wind.
It's the water and wind that combine to float my boat,
and without that connection,  'That's all she wrote'*
Without fuel in the tank,...

They say time heals all wounds, but that’s not true. 

As humans we can have a knack for striking a nerve in one another. When you strike someone’s nerve, that nerve could be extremely sensitive...

I actually loved you,
I think that’s what hurts me most
Now looking back,
All I see is my heart’s ghost
I can’t cry anymore,
My tears have run dry
Everything you meant to me,
got lost within your lie
I gave you...

The rain hits the glass of the window 
As the thunder gets louder
I’m sitting on the gallery banister
Seeking refuge from a bottle of liquor

But the alcohol doesn’t help me
Right now nothing can
Lightning casting shadows on...

After she left I started pulling petals off of a rose.
I don't think she really loved me but that's just how it goes.
You can tell that I'm dying inside because when
you see me it glows.

ON RESCUING AN INJURED PIGEON
	I.
sliding screen door screeches, pigeons scatter
thump of wing against breast, shockwave breeze
more frequent than in the past, shimmering necks
soundtrack squirrel zig-zags, new-green lawn
perches like the pigeons, await my departure

I’m trying to write a poem about my dad
Which is weird because all I want to say about him is the things he’d done bad.
Then there’s the whole problem with this rhyme scheme...

Thank you Sweet Lord
For this wonderful day
The comfort I slept in
The bed where I lay
My faith in my waking
Was never in doubt
Your Love in abundance
I’m never without


I’ve lived on the edge
In my thoughts and my...
