Hey everyone. So I haven't written a poem in gosh...I don't know how many months. I suppose this is my first attempt trying to get out of my dry spell. Let's just say moving stress can be a biatch. But sometimes I just need to remember what's important... Hope you enjoy reading.

“It Could Be So Simple”

Evading the simple answer
I dig deeper inside
It only turns me and tosses me around
Because I refuse to let it be easy

The noise hurts my ears
But the quiet challenges the fear
And I feel over-challenged as it is
Yet what I want is not what I need
Isn’t that always how it seems

If I’d only stop
If I’d only listen
If I’d only let things be
If I’d only rely
On someone other than me

I’m tired of hiding behind my strength
I’m scared of failing
Of showing I’m not as strong as I appear
But I keep forgetting...
You’re there to catch me, soothe me
I’m not alone anymore

The ring on my finger is not just there to sparkle
Although it sparkles so
It’s a promise of together
A promise that it doesn’t have to be so hard
A promise that after all’s said and done
I have someone to come home to

If only I could come home
If only I could walk through your door
If only I could fall into your arms
If only I’d remember...

I am coming home
I will walk through your door
And I will spend forever in your arms
A promise I hold onto, a promise we will keep
Because the simple answer always comes back to “we.”

Let's just say...I have no idea what you're talking about.

Kidding as ya know. Bleeh, i'm still finishing settling in over here. It's bizarre, man. Moving and change is weird. This poem seems to be a journey from one life to another, a life you definitely want, but just had one last bit of residue trying to cling to you. But...the goal at the end of the road just looks entirely too good so...ONWARD!

Best of everything guys.

I probably should have started a new thread for this but when I read your poem it reminded me of some recent lost friendships so I felt compelled to post it under this thread.


I always wanted more from you
than you were willing to give
So now we've gone our separate ways
each with different lives to live.

The bond will always be there
the friendship always intact
But the time for us has come and gone
and the pages of time, you can't turn back.

I will always be a friend to you
and wonder how you are
The smiles and laughter I will remember
and our fights have become painless scars.

Sometimes on those busy days
when you've a thousand things to do
Please let me glide slowly through your mind
and spend some time with you.

In that quiet moment
when you're surprised to find me there
Just remember even with the distance between us
I am still someone who cares.

Dude that is really great. If i were you i'd definitely post it as a separate thread so you can get some more recognition for it. You write really well. Glad to see you posting in this forum.

Take care
