One day, I will learn how to love someone without hurting them in the middle of hating myself. Until then, I’ll keep the dreams he gave me alive in my heart.


Poem Artwork

 

I had a dream of us; it was so simple.

I walked with you to work,

then tended my day as best I could.

At sunset I rushed down the street

to stand on the corner with a hibiscus

flower in my hair and excitement

in my throat, for nothing more

than to see your smile.

Sara, the strength--the beauty--of this poem

You have perfectly shown us that the simple things in life are what matter...too bad we so frequently complicate all that is beautiful.

Sara - Your words to us say that you know where love is; in the simple acts, ways, decisions, and expectations of life. You've given us the 'simply put' version. Admiringly - Bill

A fine, fine touch, Sara. You capture a whole world of meaning in such few lines and their impact lingers well after they finish.

Love never allows anyone beloved to be hurt.

Privileged is the one that smiles before the loved consorte.

"Simple Things" diffuses the scent of love. It is a romantic flower.

I salute You, Poet.

For a time, I perched myself on a flat rock, comparing my life with the Guyandotte River. Just as its tributaries replenish it daily, changing it in some small—sometimes great—degree, so have the day-to-day occurrences of life changed me. Like the ri
