Poem: A Warm Hand

  

 A Warm Hand

The hands that felt so warm and the arms that held me so tenderly during those cold winter days, how I miss them.
I let go of your love, and I can’t blame anyone but myself now that love has left me cold and lonely.
I’m like a snowflake melting through the warmth of the sun.
How can I ask you to come back when you might’ve already found someone else?
I wish I had and could’ve given you more, but now all I can give myself are regrets.
I regret that I’d let you go, and I regret how I could’ve loved you more and treated you better.
I’d blamed you for not loving me right, but perhaps it has always been me who’d ignored your love.
Now the word sorry seems to be like water.
Once the water dries out, you can’t get it back.
I wish I could take back the words I’d said to you.
I wish I could bring back yesterday to make our love more beautiful.
But yesterday is forever yesterday, and those days have forever left us.
All I can do now is wish for something that can never come back.

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
