DAVID TERRY Poems

Five times I have known the feeling that makes life worth living for
One less than six have I been willing to it yet truly die for
I knew not then what I know today or what will come tomorrow
When through this pain I hope to grow and surrender daily sorrow
...

Time seems an equalizer
Time sort of heals
It doesn’t take away the hurt
But it lessens the appeal
...

Purity is a virtue I have come to value
It is something I know nothing of, nor can I say in lieu
To esteem, admire, revere, and hold close
Of it there is replacement or anything I chose
...

I’ve now look forward to your smile
Your comments, you wit, your guile
And all of the while
Despite toil and daily trial
...

I have a secret to keep
A secret to keep that deprives me of sleep
It deprives me of sleep but leaves me a smile
A smile when I think of what I feel inside
...

What I want in love
To feel cherished
To feel desired
To feel needed
...

What do you do when your love has gone away?
You feel your heart race as you breathe in and breathe out
You have to force yourself to move as you learn to walk without
You do your best to try to forget
...

I miss you
I really do too
These months have now passed
Since we bid angry last
...

She is out there
Somewhere
Somewhere and I don’t know where or how
She is living now
...

I'll admit it when I'm alone and the day is done
I miss you very much
Your wit, your voice, your eyes, your touch
Messages, long talks, letters and visits
...
