Array ( [sid] => 166030 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => If I Was Gone [time] => 2011-04-26 07:19:24 [hometext] => Well, my last poem stated that it would be my “Last Poem” but for some reason, my mind couldn’t have it. This is my latest creation to the poetry world. Hope you like it… [bodytext] => --------------------------------------------------------

If tomorrow I was gone
Would you fall and start to cry
Would you know it, would you feel it
All the pain deep inside

Would you remember the times
That we have spent together
Or even how we first met
And couldn’t be forever

I remember it clearly
As time moved slow around me
I was sitting in the dark
And you brought your light before me

On that day the shadows fell
And I came out if the dark
To kneel before an angel
It was then I felt the spark

I t was you who lit the flame
Of the fire in my soul
And now it’s 5 years later
As it starts to take its toll

So I ask if I was gone
Could you see it in your eyes
Feel the anger feel the pain
Of all the love you hide inside

If today was all we had
To say what’s on our minds
Would you tell me up front
Or just tell me a lie

For you may never know
When our time is up
Tomorrow may be gone
And today is not enough

I always appreciate the skill of a rhyming poet. it's not my style (i'm more free-form), but i like the lyrical quality of this poem, and i think if i read it aloud (to my 10 month old), i would like it even more!! i hope you're not leaving, but i trust you will do whatever feels right.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
