(mostly) short poems on life and love

by the garden gate

April 14, 2018 by Michael Guerin

daffodils ready to bloom
as she stands like sunshine

by the garden gate
on a random spring day

ready to pull dried weeds
left behind from last year

and wearing her silk floral
dress which comes to rest

just below the sweet
curve of her thighs.

she turns and faces me
but sitting like a statue

on the back steps and lost
among dead thoughts

rooted in a string
of yesterdays never lived

through i finally realize
just how much was missed

and how i felt unable
to give what was truly needed.
