Like a river, we are.

Attempt at four line poetry.

One.

Just photos in a book,

just beautiful faces missed.

Just kind voices heard in my dreams now.

Beautiful hearts missed.

Two..

Swirl me in your mind,

my kind lover.

Make me believe,

Love is kind and forever.

Three...

Once I wanted everything.

I learn, I had everything I needed already.

We don't need to own everything.

The blessing of life are always near us.

Four....

I told her, just a nibble my sweetheart.

She laughed and she whispered.

You naughty boys request a nibble on my ear and my neck.

Making me feel free and reckless.

Five.....

Like a river we are.

We are seeking the sea, 

to hear the chorus of the music of the ocean.

Returning to where we belong.

I'm like you, when I do short poetry such as haiku, I can't stop with one. There's so much to be said, I seem to go on & on until I've done a cluster of five or more. I think five is a good sampling. Each of your poems has it's own unique flavor, yet as a whole, all join together with certain themes, like living & touching & communing in life (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I agree. Hard to write a thought without keeping going. Thank you dear Margie for reading and the comment.

Five: life is truly where the waters flow and our lives ebb in its currents and eddies. Very well done!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. I agree. We are like the flow of the water. Just another part of the earth movement.

[Betty Hermelee]

five little vignettes, all have different meanings, but come together at the end; lovely flowing words...I really liked number 3... "we don't need to own everything"... be content with what you have.
Nicely penned my friend.
Best, Betty

Thank you dear Betty for reading and the comment. I was lucky. I wanted to own little and I liked to travel. We learn wisdom when we learn. We don't need everything.

[Betty Hermelee]

Absolutely correct!!!

All the poems are simply amazing with each having its own distinctive standing. I really liked the second and the fifth one.

Love your poetry especially the 1st and 2nd.

[AYVID N]

Every verse is replete with such beauty of soul. The first verse is very very haunting. Just beautiful faces and voices missed. Faces we loved dearly. This life is never going to be the same without each one of them.. Kindness in love is all the blessing we'll ever need as we return as rivers to our oceans one day. Loved these verses, dear Coyote.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Divya. I appreciate the comment. I love the sea.

[Stella Armour]

Five lovely verses John,
when we realize that we already have everything we need instead of yearning for what we lust after we learn to count our blessings .
A poem about looking back , at photographs, memories some beautiful and some cheeky ones to make you smile.
The river always seeks its ending at the ocean and is absorbed into the greatness of it.
Lots to think about in your verses.... :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Stella. I believe, we land where we suppose to land.
