Today I'm going to write a poem because Valentine's Day and poems go together like a hook and an eye,
A fish hook and a human eye.
If each day is a dream why is it that we sleep and wake,
If each day is a dream why do we fill it with hands that take
away what we hold so close so dear in all our days and ways.
If each day is a dream why fill it with bones that sweat and hearts that ache.
If each day is a test why does falling not count against me?
If each day is not a test why should it be that we
struggle and strain for joy that doesn't pay?
if each day is a test why would he test me?
If each day is an accident why do I always find myself on the same street
if each day is not an accident then why do we find ourselves the same defeat
and the quiet retreats into nothing important.
If each day is an accident why does my heart still beat?
If each. If each day. If each day is.
If each day is a quest what is it that we're not finding?
I agree Valentines day and poems go together! :) This is a very interesting poem! did you write it yourself??
ReplyDeleteEldon, this is very good. Last week's write-up was very entertaining as well. I'll look forward for more, and not because I'm being forced to read it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nick. You are a great writer. I like reading from people who know how to write. (Unfortunately one of my pet peeves is bad grammar so I see it every day with the internet). I never knew you were a poet!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how the poem went with Valentine's Day, but I liked it :)
