I received today a copy of the Sunflower Poetry Review and Digest which has my first ever published poem, entitled Sharon's Song.
I am so proud of myself and this gives me the impetus to carry on and get even more published including my own collection.
Sharon's Song
Please don't go,
yet I knew
that if you stayed
we'd only fight.
I thought it true, that given time
Our love would see us right.
How ironic, separated we're better, together.
It's sad we couldn't be surrounded
By our love forever.
I miss those loving moments
When you were beside me here.
Once again
I long to tenderly hold you close my dear.
I loved all about you,
the way you are, the way you act.
It's strange, when you were here,
I didn't appreciate that fact.
I know now that it's far too late
To express how I feel
It's true, the love I felt for you
Was without doubt, real
Finally realising that I must get on with life
But you will stay forever,
My friend, my lover, my wife
