Once More Poems

Premium MemberHere You Are, Once More

Clear water serenely waves 
                towards the shore 
In your hands you hold a book 
                filled with Mystical secrets 
and as the sun goes

Premium MemberI am Back once more

I’m back once more.

I spent a long night contemplating which people to remove from my life, the ones who drag me down. 
It’s time for a transformation in 2026, a chance to relieve the pressure in my chest.

Like a Maidenform bra that left an imprint,  
What a relief it is to let them go.

Once more I want to thank you Father

Once more I want to thank you
Father
For everything you did for me
Through all the years
You gave me the gift of life
After you had created
Me in you image
You had given me
Grey hair and brown eyes
You tell me that I am
Beautiful you in your eyes
Father I don't agree with you
At all
Father you are untitled to your opinion
I

Premium MemberI extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more

I extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more,
To kiss your hand, to pass the burn of my lips kept from times long past,
When moments scattered and became a past that left us still dreaming,
And if I could hold you in my arms again, to feel your cheek

Once more


I can hear it crawl towards me
In the infinite moving dark
Claw turns to slither
Echoes without placement
Each sound closer than the last
My heavy breath giving voice
Breath cool on my face
Rancid in deceit
If I open my eyes
I can give my fear form
Not a muscle working in unison
Eyelids like ancient divers leaded boot
Stuck in the silt
Heart and breath

Once More

Author  Dana Redricks 
November 28, 2024

(Verse 1)
God keeps blessing me once more, this I know for sure. Every time I look around, He's opening another door. I've seen Him bring me through, so many times before. When I was broken and lost, He made me whole once more.

(Pre-Chorus)
When the night was dark, and I

Premium MemberTo Soar Once More

I
saw
the swing
old and tall,
and I remembered
as a child how I loved to swing
higher and higher until my feet could touch the sky.
I sat on the worn canvas seat, and then slowly, so slowly began to soar once more.

Premium MemberTeenager Once More

You are the only one who listened
The only one who took the time
When there was nobody
You came along I made you mine

Words are just words
If they don't come from the heart
I so want to express how much I love you
And what you mean to me
But even when 
words come from my heart
I never know where

Premium MemberAt night, when I remember our love once more

At night, when I remember our love once more,
Us, stained by the shadow that glides in, trembling beneath the gentle star,
Held tight in embrace, like two nomads under the infinite vault of pigments,
Eternally swayed by the time's carousel, in the deep of the shadow we catch.
Asleep in the heavy veil of sleep, secret and profound,
We

Premium MemberChristmas Without You Once More

bleak
Christmas
is nearing,
bells are ringing,
young carolers singing from door to door
yule joyful hymns in moonlit crisp air night
a nascent dawn
with anxious
laughter
sounds

there
a tree
full of hope
grandchildren thrilled.
without you, a soul that feels so hollow.

If She Loved Me Once More

The morning takes the slumber from my eyes,
As I look out toward the east to see the sunrise.
Memories takes me back to another time,
An autumn sky and a girl with hazel eyes.
I would’ve given her, the mountains, the moon and the sky,
Yet I foolishly left her without even a goodbye.
After all these years, I’m back

Premium MemberOnce More

I contemplate the bobber on the water.
It is as still as a friend’s prayer at meeting.
Connected to this moment by monofilament
I sit as if I were asleep.
		
A gust of north wind roils the surface
into ridges. In the furrow
the bobber dances, dances,
dropping its seed into the darkness
perhaps to lure forth one more wish,
one more harvest from

Once More

I sat behind him
He looked over to the side
I saw his lashes
My heart clashes
They're so curly
That I fell there surely
His eyes shine brightly
Full of life
Free of strife
When he woke up from sleep
I wish to swim in that pool of red sea
How I wish to never forget that bliss!
We locked eyes
I felt it hard to turn
I
