A Simple Poem: LONGING

LONGING by Rose Gob

How long has it been when I last saw you?

The 1st time we met was seven years ago,

Now all that we have are just memories

I feel my heart swell as I remember our stories.

Your words still ring out from the corners of my mind,

I vividly see the rainbows and the promise to find,

The warmth of the sun was a welcome embrace,

Against the cold wind as we walk that place.

Vicariously I lived through your eyes,

I long to be there when you sighed,

I long to share with you my baffling thought,

And reach out a hand to touch you for comfort.

Pens on paper. cards on mail,

A stamp on an envelope excites like a gale,

A call and a voice are not the same,

Compared to emoticons, or online fame.

People are social species of life,

An introvert still needs friend to like.

Enjoying the sunset as we wait the time,

For the thousand years sublime.

Alas, it’s one in the clock’s hour,

Let me close my eyes and door,

Count ‘til six, and all will be gone,

For this mind of mine would speak of none. 

Goodnight...

A Run Towards the Sun

I have this thing with words.  I like putting them together and creating rhythmic lines.  I sometimes get the inspiration from things I see and sometimes from how I feel.  This poem, I've created out of the inspiration I got from my own travel photo.  I hope you'll enjoy this.

A RUN TOWARDS THE SUN

My heart is truly grateful
For that light that shines
Upon the dark recesses
Of this blinded mind.

The eyes that are asleep
Shone bright tonight.
What a wonderful gift
Golden apples (His Words)...
 ...tasted so sweet.

Hope and reasons,
A drink of Wisdom.
A kiss of peace...
Erases man's agonies.

All things fell in places
No longer lost in a maze,
So sure of the end,
Run towards it, friend.

Goodnight!

You Are My Sunshine, My Light

I see the scriptures as God's love letter to us.  That is what I learned from a wise man.  Now, I wanted to write a love letter, to Him who knows me more than how much I know about myself.  Please bear with me... I just wanted to praise Him in my humble way.

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE, MY LIGHT

You are my #sunshine
You are my everything.
You give me hope,
      You give me love,
You're the reason of my being.

Tonight I call on You
Please don't ever let go...
Hold my hands tight
Let me stay by Your side
    For the rest of my life.
I love YOU so.
