Grasping Memories

I saw your photo
And I didn't know,
It would hurt so much
My hand took my heart to clutch
Memories, I could touch

At Last

Other than rhyme, I never quite got other forms of poetry in the past. 
Thanks to great poets like all of you, I believe I'm grasping it at last.

Rented Beds

In piss-stained linens
and rented beds 
they lay.

Grasping straws 
of forgotten places
in time.

Begging the touch
of a spouse
long dead.

Late January

Budding, preening tendrils in winter sunshine

Standing breathless, dawn is a sapphire calyx 
Hope springs eternal

Pigeon Deterrence

The moralists, twenty and two,
Know not what is like to ensue,
When, grasping but smidgeons,
They act as if pigeons;
They’ll probably hate me when through.

Gimbaled Time

I stand
Rocking back and forth
Bending memories heal my wounds
Lost in winds that blow unseen
Grasping truth from drowning seas
Alone

With answer to call

With answer to call;
Grasping this rope, of loves pull,
Will you listen for its bell?

Heard eternally,
You are ringing in my heart!
Lovers sanctuary dwells!

Death

Death.
Dark, longing.
Crying, sufficating, screaming.
Grasping hands tight on ones throat.
Clawing, choking, bleeding.
Blank, heartless.
Gone.

In the Last Dream Before Waking

I sleep restlessly
Clinging, grasping, desperately
To what I must let go 
In the last dream before waking 
I am water that cuts stone

Overall, I Appreciate Him

Visualizing memories of all the moments we shared,
Even those in which I was most angry, sad, exhausted, and scared.
Sadly, I am only now grasping how much you truly cared.

One of Those Days

Silently Screaming 
at the top of my lungs.
Dripping in Sweet Smiles 
while my lungs fill with tears.
Until I'm 
Drowning. 
Grasping at the image of the girl I used to be.

Potential blossoming but falls
Charming beauty exquisitely forms
Beaming up higher leaving the floor
Flower to the sun grasping for more

Dry

Summer parched my dried lips turning fastly into rocked salt
Grasping for the water I kept for a moment like this one here
My mouth seizes the droplets that remain in my canteen
