Best Poems Written by Jon Womack

The Dance Doesn'T Have To End

egnimatic ocean floats in the air
as we sit in green bean, waiting
the 24 carrot will rock tonight
we'll dance under the influence
of an intoxicating new love

grounded in this moment
our lives entwined in celebration
we are easy about our differences
carefree and reckless 
the future a hungry canvas
to saturate with vibrant hues

precious firstborn enters our world
and our bond  is now stronger
the reality time-shifted, yet
the celebration continues 
even though the tendrils of addiction 
begin to slow-choke our spirits 

memories become infected now
with the anchors of mortality
suffocating truths that bleed pleasures 
we once took so casually for granted
no longer resilient about those differences

so let's remember where we started
and why we chose to share our journey
find a way to forgive and move on
before fate leaves the other wondering
what a senseless thing pride can be
