You Chose the Sky

The Last Kiss
By: the iHope Poet

Something pressed against my lips, 
I think it was your final kiss. 
A finger traced my aching heart -
all thoughts coherent grew amiss. 

Something pulled me close to you, 
I think it was that fear I knew. 
My locks were rattled, cages sprung, 
And as you turned, you proved me true. 

Some perfection held me still - 
I won't forget my dying will, 
to make you stay inside my arms
- and for a moment I was filled. 

Something told me not to cry, 
and I refrained as we goodbyed. 
But endless were the tears that fell, 
as soon as you took to the sky. 

Something lingered on my lips, 
You knew it was our final kiss. 
But you will never feel the pain 
of losing such a love as this.

Different Paths

two horizons
By: The iHope Poet

the ocean and the sky form two horizons.
        a second shade of blue atop the first.

some people sail the shoreline
        others cross in flying planes.

and both routes last a distance
        that can quench the traveler's thirst.

Never coming back.

You Loved this Lover
By: the iHope Poet

Moments pass when longing leaves me
aching at the door.
And I start feeling empty from
the pain of years before.
I sometimes feel abandoned, lost,
imperfect in my fears.
But then I am reminded
of the reasons for my tears.

You kissed these lips, you held these hands,
you loved this lover, once.
And though you're never coming back,
my heart's forever touched.

Ghosts

Pushing Cares
By: the iHope Poet

I pushed a ghost on the swing today,
I lifted her worries and cares.
At the park, she and I watched the weight of the world
while it soared, as if naught, through the air.
