Four short poems

Just words. Attempt at short poetry.

     Silence
The house is silence now.
The children have left.
The silence isn't golden my love.
--------

  Loveless

Once love was needy and was demanded nightly.
Now the bed seem larger and a lonely place.
Your once sparkling eyes shine lightly now.
---------
                                     Pretty lies are still lies

Mutual needs brought us together.
We were held on by desperate words and needs.
I don't see the need of eternal love in your tender and soft blue eyes.
In your eyes, I see the want to escape and depart our pretend paradise.
-------------
                                Drink of me

Pretty woman whispered to me.
A pale moon light tonight and the sea is dancing peacefully.
Let's allow the shade of love to over take us.
Let's dance and sing to the yearning moon my love.

When we are accustomed to writing longer poems it may be difficult to "downsize" the words as I have found, but you have succeeded in doing a wonderful job of saying much in few words!
I like them all, but the last one, "Drink Of Me" is my favorite! "Silence" is one I can relate to.
Nice job John!!

Silence is a lesson learn. When kids are gone. House become too quiet. Thank you Sheila for reading and the comment.

In these four short poems is love's journey: silenced, emptiness, escape, and yearning.

'The children have left' what is left is 'the bed ... larger and a lonely place' 'the want to escape and depart our pretend paradise' and perhaps the same or different woman conjures back the romance of the yearning moon?

Thank you MandaBear. I appreciate the comment.

You're welcome. Would you mind if I used your line "Pretty little lies are still lies" for a poem I want to write?? That inspired a poem but I didn't want to use it until I asked =)

[Coyote Poetry]

Of course not. I believe these lines are from some old rock and roll song. We cannot own words, we just borrow them.

[MandaBear]

Okay sorry I asked
