Years Pass Us By

It's a love poem. :D

Years span in front of us

Looming, welcoming, speaking of days yet to come

Years speaking of school and college

Of good grades and bad

Of kissing and long nights

Under the moon and star's silent lights

We'll sit on front porches

Kiss whenever we like

We'll go out with friends

Get drunk and get loud

Wake up the next morning and laugh it away

We'll live and we'll laugh

I'll wake up in your arms 

I'd swear you're an angel,

Sent from God Himself. 

You'd kiss my head and I'd laugh...

We'd drive to work 

Do what we love best

My ears filled with the laugher of children

And high soprano voices

The tinkling of piano keys 

The strum of guitar strings 

The years progress and show on our faces

You'll swear I'm beautiful 

I'll laugh and object

At night I'll lay beside you

We'll talk until the sun stains the sky purple.

The years will eventually come to an end

The front porch we shared, 

Crawling with vines

The kids that I've taught

With kids of their own

Still together we lay

Under emerald green grass.

Wow, this part reeled me in like a tiny fish who was smaller than the hook. Well done, definately adding you as a friend. :)

That was awesome! I think its great that you added the little things in life to your poem, instead of just focusing on the passing years. I especially like the part about tinkling piano keys.
I also like how you mentioned love without going too over the top.
Once again, that was great, and I hope to read more from you soon!
