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.

What a beautiful, romantic poem, Tate. I detect a note of uncertainty as well in the last two lines of both the second and third stanzas as is the way with love, with everything really. The imagery is beautiful as always. Thanks for sharing.

"Oh if I could stop Earth turning
then she might never go" Goodness. The last line touched my heart. Such intense emotion captured in just two lines.

Romantic poetry to me is one of the hardest genres to write. Tate you did very well with this one. Not maudlin or mushy, but with maximum effect and a minimum of words. Often less is more. Great write Tate!

[Tate Morgan]

Hi dave I have great inpiration many that i have written are romantic but they are about the women I have known or the ones I now know like my wife I personally think that the poem "THE LETTER to my wife was the best one I ever did

[David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)]

Good poets must have roots in Ohio. I see you're from Marion O. I grew up in Loveland Ohio.

[Tate Morgan]

Yes I am thank you I dont know I suppose the Midwest creates a certain brand of us lol

Very beautiful. A sympathetic rendering of one of Earth's most numerous creatures: the tongue-tied man. Still, this touches my heart.

[Tate Morgan]

LOl you would say that . I was probably 17 at the time and i have learned a few things since then

[TL Boehm]
