Poem: Acceptance of Love

 In celebration of Poetry Month:

Acceptance of Love

When I fell in love with you, I knew it wasn't going to be like what people said.
Some said love was hard, and some said love was easy.
I didn't know the pain of loving someone until I met you.
Love came so sudden, but with you, it was all I wanted.
Your love was all that I dreamed of from a lover.
You gave me tenderness and gave me all the passionate kisses when I wanted them and needed love.
You loved me with all your heart, but when you walked away, those kisses vanished with the air I breathed.
In the game of love, I’ve learned to accept.
The acceptance of love, pain, tears, sorrows, and the heartbreaking moments when I’m without you.
In the game of love, I’ve learned to accept the heartache and agony of losing someone I love dearly.
Can you feel the pain inside me right now?
Do you still love me like you once did?
All the memories of love, pain, and sorrow still remain inside me.
What are you feeling now that you’re without me in your arms?

Poem: A Love Letter

   A Love Letter I’m sitting here writing to you with my heart and mind thinking of you. In that place where you’re now, what are you doing? Is the sun shining down on your beautiful smile? Is the wind blowing through your tender hair? Here, the rain’s falling, making it so sad when I have to remember of you. Tonight, when I close my eyes to sleep, I hope I’ll dream of you. In my dreams, I hope I’ll hear your voice and hear the laughter I’m missing. Tomorrow, when we meet again, I hope the sun will shine on us. I hope to walk with you down the roads hand in hand like we always do. Right now, I hope the love from my heart will fill you with joy when you read this letter. I’ll wait for you to write back to me in the loneliness of the night. Your love will brighten the dark starless nights. Your love will burn through the tears in the days to come. The love I have of you in my heart will melt away the fear and the loneliness of being without you.

A Look Back - Favorite Author: Lois Duncan

Image
One of my favorite authors whose novels I loved to read during my teenage years was Lois Duncan. I was very sad to hear of her passing in 2016.  I read many of her teen, horror, thriller books including I Know What You Did Last Summer, Down a Dark Hall, Summer of Fear, and Killing Mr. Griffin. For me, the early 1990s represented a time when teen horror fiction novels were on the rise. Duncan was one of the authors who really captivated my interests even though most of her novels were written in the 1970s. However, the novels really pulled in a wider audience in the 90s with the teen/horror/thriller/suspense genre picking up thanks to many other authors including Christopher Pike, R.L. Stine, etc. Many of Duncan's novels are also not that long, which was how many of the young teen fiction novels were during this period. If you like the teen/horror/suspense genre, give Lois Duncan a read. I would recommend reading I Know What You Did Last Summer, Daughter of Eve, and Summer of Fear -

Poem: Baby, Try

  Baby, Try Try, baby, try, just to give us one more chance. Try, baby, try, to go back to our loving days. Our love has gone far from what we want it to be. If you’d just try, we can be together again. All we need is a chance for our love to grow. We’ve been waiting for all our lives to get through this, but if there isn’t a chance, we won’t get through it. Forget the pain that we’d created for each other. Close your eyes and forget every sad moments when we were together. Let yourself be free, give us a chance, and you’ll see that it’s worth trying. If we try to be lovers once again, there’ll be no regret, because our love will never be like it was before. Don’t give up on our love. Love is always here with us. So, baby, try again. Don’t give up on our days and chances because love is forever here with us. Love will always be there when you believe. When life is empty, forget about yesterday. Hold out your hands to me, give us a chance, and love will be here. So, don’t worry and be h
