Separate Ways

Anthony2 Comments

We had gone as far as we could.

Said all that we could say.

We can do no further good.

So neither of us want to stay.

–

Our last words are being said.

Along with a deep firm hug.

For one last time I held her head.

Feeling my heart give that familiar tug.

–

The times we had were very hard.

Many situations were each unfair.

Our story mapped on a crooked chart.

Painful times we both did share.

–

As I hold her for the last time.

Fresh warm tears stain my face.

Break-ups are horrible like the scene of a crime.

Pain, ruin, and destruction all over the place.

–

What was the final cause?

I’m not sure if we’ll ever know.

Many bad circumstances we tripped across.

Never finding any stability or flow.

–

We share heartfelt goodbyes.

And many “I’m sorries” in our embrace.

We let go, I give kiss her forehead as she cries.

I softly wipe the tears streaking down her face.

–

The life we shared now at an end.

And the memories of it today, are just a haze.

Once we were lovers, but now distant friends.

Parting, each we go our separate ways…

Sunset Lovers

Anthony2 Comments

It’s nearly sunset.

Oranges grow to reds and pinks.

Daylight it’s falling.

–

We dance on the beach.

In the day’s end afterglow.

We and the sky, burn.

–

I need your soft touch.

I get 1000 goose-bumps.

Each time you’re near me.

–

Shadows are now gone.

There just isn’t enough light.

But we do not mind.

–

A bright sun now sets.

But we are just beginning.

Sharing an embrace.

–

As you draw in close.

Your breathing, fast soft whispers.

Your heart, beating fast.

–

Your lips, sweet candy.

Warm and willing to meet mine.

We share long kiss.

–

The two become one.

United in passion’s fire.

Unending pleasures…

A Silly Set of Raikus

Anthony2 Comments

Let us sing a song.

With lyrics that are all wrong.

Sing it for too long.

–

Let us tap a dance.

While wearing our backwards pants.

As if in a trance.

–

Let us cook some food.

Using our gas range and hood.

That’ll be quite good.

–

Let us talk the talk.

while enjoying a brisk walk.

I know we won’t balk.

–

Let us end this rhyme.

It’s been a small uphill climb.

But it’s about time…

Frazzled Friday Ends 

Anthony2 Comments

Another Friday in the books 

More frazzled a day than it looks.

–

Tons of writing by day and night

Taking some aspirin, my head feels light.

–

I’ll try to take it easy tomorrow

And avoid unnecessary sorrow.

–

Enjoy everything, my friends

As this week comes to an end.

–

Adieu and goodnight

Hope you’re all feeling right… 😊

Time To Say Goodnight

AnthonyLeave a comment

Time to say goodnight 

It’s a privilege to write

Either day or night 

–

Inspired by twilight

Or the silent moon so bright

I must be polite.

–

So I say goodnight 

I have nothing left to write

Now it’s past midnight…

That Last Kiss 

Anthony3 Comments

If I knew it would be the last time 

I would’ve kissed you a lot longer.

If I knew it would be goodbye 

I would’ve held you stronger.

–

If knew there was another 

I would’ve tried  harder

It’s all or nothing in this life

I should’ve been smarter.

–

I thought you believed in us 

I thought you were a fighter

I never should’ve let go 

I should’ve held you tighter.

–

Now, I wish you well from far away

I hope he’s great to you

I wish you a lifetime of great things

And endless happiness too…

October Thirty-One

Anthony4 Comments

Time for candy, costumes, and fun 

On this October thirty-one. 

–

Grab you pillow case head outside 

In this night the witches ride. 

–

Doorbells ring prizes are given 

On this exciting night of non-living.

–

So grab your wand and broom

Out to street, fastest zoom…

Happy Halloween 

Anthony5 Comments

Trick or treat 

Tiny tots ring the doorbell

Looking for candy.

–

At a party 

With many your costumed friends

Enjoying the holiday.

–

Watching scary movies

With some warm buttered popcorn  

Sets the mood.

–

Before too long

Halloween is once again over

Until next year…

Never Stop, Enjoy The Ride

Anthony3 Comments

Reaching the top 

Isn’t easy when you’re close

Giving your all

–

Teaching can’t stop

We’re all students, I suppose

Learning from falls.

–

If we flop

We know where it goes 

Walking quite tall.

–

Try till drop

As all your confidence grows

Make the call 

–

Life’s a hop

So go with the flow 

Have a ball…

So Sleepy 

Anthony2 Comments

Just about to go to bed

Eyes are heavy and I’m tired

Need to rest a weary head

Or tomorrow will be mired.

–

Pillow is soft 

Comforter warm

Dreams aloft 

Gently snore.

–

Sound asleep 

Getting rest 

Very deep 

Is the best.

–

My alarm clock 

Sounding soon 

Still as a rock 

Like the man in the moon…
