Thoughts of you : Love Poetry

written by Poet : louis_in_nc


If tomorrow were not to come

And my life was to be judged by its history

Its culminations and its sum

Through happiness and misery

 

I would have no regrets or jaded thought

About what has made me who I am

In life’s experiences I was caught

On solid ground I’ll make my stand

 

I have seen the wonders of the world

Played with dolphins in the sea

Into battle my life was surely hurled

And seen loved ones pass on to eternity

 

In my hands I’ve held the earth

Of a hundred places I have been

I’ve seen the Miracle of a baby’s birth

And have felt the lust that comes from sin

 

On bended knee, I have wept aloud

In anger I have fought my fellow man

Had chances to make my loved ones proud

And from tropical sun my skin did tan

 

I have heard angelic voices sing to the wind

I have seen the sunset slowly on oceans blue

Watched an eagles flight and to a garden tend

But above all else I was loved by you

 

These times we live are not to be scorned

Neither fretted nor held within contempt

No pretenses in what we were warned

A joining that seemed imminent

 

O’ Joyous rapture O’ life abound

What sorrows chased away by you

Within your arms I have surely found

My inner self, my emotions true

 

On so many things my mind does dwell

What the future brings we do not know

Yet on time can surely tell

If our feelings for each other grow

 

If tomorrow were not to come

And I must hold but one memory to get me through

My choice would be an easy one

Forever would I think of you
