My Girl

With the girl I loved most in life

I walked in street lamps glow

Could she hear my heart calling

for the love I never show

 

Treading lightly along beside

her footprints marked the snow

The warmth of heart I felt for her

I doubt she will ever know

 

With the girl I loved most in life

I walked in street lamps glow

Oh if I could stop Earth turning

then she might never go

 

 

Tate Morgan 2008

Author's Note

A gem stone of my life every bit as precious as the eyes from which she views the world.

Very beautiful poetry! I like how you added the music so we could get the feeling in this poem a little more. Great job!

[Tate Morgan]

street lamps ...before my right of passage i had to be home by the time they lit up :) ....i was a shy guy but loved the ladies ...such a quandary ... your poem has inspired me to try to recall them ... once i got my feet under me i actually talked, danced and dated most of those i was attracted to ...but far many more on the path to stumbling babbling tongue :) i think this might have made a better tune

Thank you Gene. You and are of the same generation. I too had to be home when the street lights came on. Or when i heard my fathers whistle on the front stoop. Thank you so much for sharing the memories of an innocent childhood. Giod knows there is nothing innocent about todays world.

[Einstein Noodle]

we are sir! ..and it was ...so much more simple and honest and innocent ... sometimes i think we are not on a planet at all but a meteor spinning and hurling through space ... no wheel to steer with ... no compass ... sigh! :{ but a celebration for this girl you loved ... what a Princess as you have depicted her in the Art work ... :) top by some time and say hi! ;)

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I suppose I will always revere her as just that a princess

[Einstein Noodle]

[Barbz]

In my darkest moments, when I long for what was, I seem.to find solace in your words.....with an added bonus tonight of musical delight".Barbz

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Barb there is always that one who was an an absolute treasure. Many ask why i didnt tell her. The reason is simple. We need that one unattainable thing that we want but cannot have. We arent meant to get everything we want in life

[Barbz]

How well I know.....and I haven't got time for the pain.....I give my all, and expect nothing. Thank you for always sharing....Barbz

[Christopher Vivian]

I wonder how many young women were loved but did not know, what if? Your words took me back to high school. To a time when I was head over heels with the young (but much older than me, 4 or 5 years, School Secretary). I even remembered her name. A name not thought of for more years than I am willing to think about. The point being, your poem of 75 words had the power of connecting me to a time in my own life to a similar experience. Thanks for that Tate, your skills at weaving the poets craft made a difference through your depiction of a similar experience to mine, and I'm betting similar to many other peoples.

[Tate Morgan]

thank you Christopher that sure made my day

[Sanjh]

It's magical, short and expressive...:)

[Tate Morgan]

thank you very much

[M.A.Rathore]

This is really a poetic gem out of your mighty ink. How softly the feelings flow through the unfathomed heart! Had she known her lover she would have enjoyed her life with the most popular romance of the lovely writer!
I really enjoy it dearest Tere...
Have a nice time!

[Tate Morgan]
