Early Summer

‘We used to joke, and it felt like home’- The Griswolds

The rain come down
Washed away my frown
Finally realized
Hey I’m okay without you around

My heart grew
And I learned
Though I’d been scorned and burned
I got my turn

And got a treasure higher in gold content than you

You told me I was worth something on the drive back home from home

Magenta and green
If you know what
I mean
Make me laugh
Split at the seams
You told me
I was worth something
On the drive home
From home
You somehow always know what I mean
Is it possible your real?
Is it possible how I feel?


The mountain peaks
I can still see
Without you here
And when you’re gone
I found love goes on
Whether I wanted it too or not

[M. J. Smith]

Mentors, friends, lovers... Sometimes they all get bound together in an unrecognizable tangle and with them our emotions. All these things in one person raise that person to a monolith in our lives. One which we worship, fear, loath, adore, and a myriad of other less well defined emotions.
Again, the impressions of a half educated hillbilly.

Thank you so, so much. I appreciate all your kind reviews so much. (:

Nice ending revelation after such a dreary write...you do a nice job at redemption in the end. Nice job.

[Betty Hermelee]

love goes on, even without the one you chose; and for that person to degrade you in that way is deplorable; but you are able to move on, a sort of cleansing, if you will that a new path may be in store for you, a better one hopefully. very well written.
Best,
Betty

Love goes on whether I wanted it to or not.
well it does that, and sometimes the most impossible love is the most real.

it is a shame that we need others to tell us our worth, and too often can't see it for ourselves,
I felt this...and am surprised that of 38 views there was not one comment, but then...no, I am not that surprised...
feedback is everything on a site like this....
even negative feedback can tell us there was some effect caused by the poem.
But nothing? too much of that these days.
shame.
