2 x new poems

Dear all;

Here are two new poems for you all to enjoy!

Two parts of the same puzzle, or maybe not?

Enjoy!

Cheers

Nothing to Save (I)


The petals fell into the fountain

At sunset

As I watched you

Walk into the distance.


The petals fell into the fountain

As sunset

As I watched you

Turn back

And shout I love you.


The petals fell dripped into

The base of the fountain

As I watched you

Stand there

And start crying.


And when the petals

Soft as the bed in the earth

Started to reflect

In the moonlight

I almost wanted

To run back towards you

And hold you in my arms

One more time.


But I disappeared back into

The shadows.



Nothing to Save (II)


There is nothing to rescue

When I see

Petals drowning

In the fountain

At sunset.


There is nothing to rescue

When I see

Tears start to form

On their slight frames.


Perhaps if I'd got

There earlier

I could have reached

Out and held them in

My arms.


But like my memories of you

Perhaps it is best

To let them drown.
