in a time long past
me / self / lone / cast/
away>at last
woke UP
I knew I must try one more time
YOU
You were one more time
Last Try and Best Idea all in one
hand to hold
lips to kiss
eyes that see me true
and oh!
so much more.
day by day and year by year
🔥 fire and 🧊 ice,
💨 wind and ☔️ rain
one by one {once}
(but now me plus you is two)
I was lost
then came You
no more just
me / self / lone / cast
it’s We and Us
then is over and gone
we are Now and Real and True
It’s YOU, love
know that now
then
and ever
is You

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Beautiful and lovely!
Beautifully done. I love the structure!
Just lovely.
A true poem about a real love. ❤❤❤ Beautiful words.
Cascades like a pretty little rivulet, full of clarity and beauty. Your freedom of style increases the reader's understanding of your message, and never obscures it. Really masterful: I love it.
That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Heartfelt, loving, sweet and the one thing we all crave. Love, complete. Great recap of a journey to love ❤️
Nice work Judey! Charming and romantic. Four letters is harder than it sounds! 😃
If a poem could be adorbs this would be it.
Oh my, I love this one, Judey. Love the cleverness of the formatting. And that line me/self/lone/cast...just drips with emotion. This was just masterfully done from start to finish! Perfection!
Excellent words Judey , and came to this from Threads
You (both in the singular & the plural) have captured this beautifully, Judey.
The passion is strong in this, and utterly beautiful. Love to see the arc completed in these verses. ❤️
This is fantastic. So sweet.
I loved every line of this!
Amazing!
❤️😉
That is so romantic. Love it.
These two lines, You were one more time/Last Try and Best Idea all in one, remind me of the theme of Chrisette Michele's "Love Won't Leave Me Out".
Excellent... Very well done!!!
What a great love story, Judey! So beautifully written and sweet! Love your structure and stylization! 💫💞
Incredibly well written and beautifully sentimental. Great job, Judey!
Judey, this is lovely. In your Creator's Bio, you said, "It's my time to find and use my voice." You are succeeding. 💜
Fantastic seeet and romantic 😊😊
