After The Fall

It was the night before Christmas

and all through the house

no one was home not even the mouse

But all a sudden appeared the

ghost of times past

come with me I heard her say

let me take you to a fonder day

As my eyes focused

I could see a wedding

it was me on my wedding day

You were so beautiful

a glow coming from your face

ahh then came the children 1,2 and 3

not much time for you and me

As the years went by

the glow slowly faded away

it seemed we argued most everyday

I guess we didn`t have much in common after all

And now it seems it`s time for the fall

the kids are grown and we`ve grown apart

it seems nothing comes from the heart

is it to late for a new start

Or could we find what we lost

and if we did what would it cost

could we ever start again

could we ever be friends

I guess only time will tell

but right now were both living in hell

is it to late for a new start

do we really want to part

can we find what we lost

and if we did what would it cost

And if we cross that bridge of

no return what would it cost

what would we learn...

Author's Note

First, let me say I love it. And then food for thought: I love the ending. And also, when I read the word "BRIDGE" > I thought, that's their bridge, thus cross OUR bridge, once steady and strong...? something, was thinking about the foundation of their bridge - once concreted, cemented, (by the best engineers) no cracks in that foundation, the cables, strong, they would never fall. Suspension Bridges. Maybe that's silly: I love this poem, you are a great writer. I see the song writing in the continueing of what is almost like a chorus. I was in this poem, myself, thinking of my past, and it is so relatable in a throw away world. I love the theme, the start, the change in tone...led me to more emotional sadness and then as I hoped, you gave them a chance to begin anew. I take marriage very seriously; the message is quite beautiful. Thank you so much - Oh and lastly sorry: please don't take offense; I have errors in posted poetry now: (too) late for a new start. I love this. Like you said, it is so hard to resist southern Thinkin! Thank you again.

i am glad you stopped by and i appreciate your compliment,yes this poem will touch many
i guess i write my poems like a country music song it`s all about true life

[Confuser]

I love country music, and many genres also. I did miss Blake Shelton's Christmas special thur. nite - thought it would be funny.

[wordman]

i saw a few minutes of it and it had a lot of humor,not really a fan of country music but the theme of it is just life and my poetry is just about life

This type of situation is what makes me so torn about marriage. I am apprehensive to take the next step. I keep thinking to myself that if it is going to become like this years on down the line, wouldn't it be better to just do without?Then the old saying comes out, 'If you don't give it a shot, you'll never know.' At this point I'm still sticking with the first option I mentioned.

no not at all,get married because you love her and she loves you not lust
let god match you up it will last

i've never had much fondness for poems hence why i clicked on your book but i def have to feel after reading this that there has been something i missed deeply in the depths of the prose. This read has me looking into it and i def enjoyed this like i haven't enjoyed poetry since i first learned about it.

I appreciate your visit,i said it was a book because of it`s length lol
poetry is good if it`s real and about life and not a lot of bullshit with it
thanks

I didn't see that ending coming you have twisted this around well, combining the serious and an amusing element. You have me pondering in thought, a very nice write, I enjoy this very much.
