POEM STARTER
'Farewell, my almost lover'
End your poem with this line, reflecting on lost love.
Tattoos For The Strong
I met you on one of the worst days of my life,
But you didn’t know that yet.
I pretended to be busy when you walked by my desk,
So you wouldn’t see me upset.
But little did I know, you would soon save my soul,
One eye roll and sigh at a time.
When I needed a life vest, you jumped in instead,
Pushed me up when I couldn’t climb.
I was drowning in grief with so many unknowns,
Five kids hung in the in-between.
You listened and smiled, gave advice, laughed and cried,
A support beam on whom I could lean.
But the best parts of all were your wounds just like mine,
Only yours were all stitched up and healed.
So you helped me heal mine, body and mind,
From shared days on the battlefield.
You taught me that love after war could exist,
You taught me to love the new me.
You showed me that scars are a privilege of life,
Tattoos for the strong and the free.
Our time was too short, you soon moved out of state,
Took my heart in the best possible way.
Now you visit sometimes, but only in dreams,
Which is what brought you to mind today.
I woke with a smile and your name on my lips,
I hope you are doing well.
I miss your sweet wit, your hugs and your words,
I’ve missed you more than I can tell.
But sometimes happy endings are just what they say:
Happy but also the end,
So farewell to you now, almost lover indeed,
But always, forever, my friend.
Great
I’ve got this poetry app downloaded on my phone where I’ve been introduced to all kinds of poetry I’ve never heard of before. This week we are being introduced to a classic poet named Siegfried Sassoon. He was in the war and wrote poetry about his experiences. His poems are very emotional, some are sad and some are him trying to deflect with twisted humor. But they are all really wonderful and as soon as I read them, it made me think of you lol. I just wanted to tell you about him in case you had never heard of him. I figured you might want to check him out.🩷

This literally made me cry!! God, it gave me chills! Especially that line, “scars are a privilege of life, tattoos for the strong and the free. “ You should seriously think about publishing your poetry through Amazon. You’ve already got so many fans on here that would purchase and leave good reviews. And I would share it on every social media account that I own!! Please please please think about it! You could really move people with your poetry. I truly think there are a lot of broken souls out there that may find healing by reading your words!🩷🩷
I can definitely tell that this is a personal experience with how well it touches the heart. Awfully beautiful. Sweet, but with some promised bitterness of course. Your lines were creative and witty as well. Great job.
