Lying In Poems - Poems about Lying In

One day, my hair will turn gray, And my skin will sag, My legs will shiver when I walk; And for the last time, I'll look back To the memories we made. The way we shared our lives, The way we laughed & cried Through the waves of our lives; Those smiles on my lips When we used to text late at...

I awaken with languid eyes gazing at the passing dawn. Strange light rays hover over ancient graves Jestering- tormenting souls Where spindled wildweeds grow And sway over a dull domain, and Under clouds with nimble fingers accusing... pointing down.

Tap, tap, tap on my window, pat, pat, pat falls the rain. Subdued light filters through the smooth fabric of the curtains. Low rumbling of distant thunder soothes my brain. Outside I spy the night garden, the moon flowers beckoning, the rain's tear drops gently drip from their pink and white petals. The crimson bougainvillea hugs tightly to the arbors...
