David Tomlinson Poem
Shadows of trees at my back,
Sitting on the shore line is where I am at.
Hook, line and sinker,
My thoughts tend to flow freer.
Storm clouds out on the horizon,
The fish around me start biting.
One after two after three after four,
My thoughts are at ease as the storm grows closer.
Rain starts falling and the fish disappear,
The storm is upon me, but I show no fear.
Rain hits my face and everything around,
The thunder rolls on and drowns out all sound.
I have fallen into silence as the storm passes,
The demon in my head no longer lashes.
It’s time to go home and the night is coming,
My mind is at peace, another day behind me.

David Tomlinson Poem
I have grown fond.
Fond of a girl I did not expect.
She was innocent, she was sweet.
Personality in her no one could beat.
She stole my heart and it was forever.
She was eight years old when I first met her.
She was crazy, she was wild.
When I met her, it felt she was already my child.
A Daughter I now had.
It was hard to not smile when she knew she was being bad.
Elementary, Middle and soon High.
I have watched her laugh and I have watched her cry.
Everything she does brings me pride.
Watching her grow was my miracle of life.
She enlightens the world more than she knows.
Every day my love for her grows.
I am amazed, and I am blessed.
To have a Daughter, who completely fills my chest.
My heart is full, and I can’t lie.
It pains me every day that I can’t tuck her in at night.
She is my light, and she is my heart.
She is the reason my life has spark.
I have grown fond.
Fond of a girl I did not expect.

David Tomlinson Poem
My love is crazy.
Will you be crazy enough to love me?
My heart is shattered.
Will you care even though I am tattered?
My words are weak.
Will you whisper to me when I cannot speak?
My soul is broken.
Will you heal it when my doors finally open?
My walls are tall.
Will you try and knock them down at all?
My skin is tough.
Will you tell me I’ll always be enough?
My mind grows bold.
Will you comfort me when I am old?
My individuality is blessed.
Can you answer all the questions with yes?

David Tomlinson Poem
It’s hard to know how you’re feeling
But I am still trying
I would be sitting here lying
If I said you didn’t fill my heart to the ceiling
My time spent alone
Makes my want to hold you even more
I sit and ponder along the river shore
Thinking about how far apart we have grown
Is it selfish to want to say
I don’t want anyone else to have you?
My thoughts are drowning in blue
Every night and every day
Please let it be in my favor
I can’t stand it without you
My heart cannot stay blue
Your love for me will be my savior.

David Tomlinson Poem
The days are long
And the nights are longer
When the lights go out
My heart beats harder
In the silence of the night
I lay awake staring
Knowing what I did wrong
Will my heart be able to keep on loving?
Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean much
When I am scared and alone
Weeping myself to sleep
In the dark loneliness of my home
My days drag together
Feeling less of myself
Sadness and sorrow sink in
Staring at the picture of us there on the shelf
Flowers won’t cut it
Not this time around
Will holding you in my arms
Turn your frown upside down?
My heart is with the ocean
Its blue and it has drowned
You will always be my Queen
So, please take your crown
The comfort you have given me
Through this life I don’t deserve
Words cannot describe it.
My heart for you, is on reserve
My Valentine this year I cannot have
Will my Valentine next year come true?
This year I am alone
My Valentine is blue.
