Gwen S M Torres Poems

For a moment life was good.
I live, I love, I laugh.
Everything is how I wanted it.
And I can see where I’m at.
...

Close your eyes and feel
a touch so light that was never there
a hug that tells of warmth, of sighs, of care
...

After all that’s been said. After all that has happened.
After the bitter words of hate.

After the hurt sets in. After the pain prevails.
...

4.

He looks at me with love.
He touches me with his soul.
He laughs with me & cries for me.
Live my life and love my all.
...

I was sad because I was lonely
looking for a shimmer of hope through the fog
I wanted a better life... much better than now
that maybe I could be someone somehow
...

what do you call an understanding of sorts?
where you know what you do and with who?
when you know its too soon but now you have it?
when you try not to feel yet still do?
...

think of love as a passage through time

... where you can be there for the past
nodding through all his pain
...

shaking the head vigoriously
sweeping it for painful memories
gathering thoughts and recollection
throwing away the remains of yesterday
...

to each his own where you own everything
with noone to share and noone to blame
the art of loneliness perfected by the day
in a world that you privately stay
...

Gwen S M Torres Biography

I've started writing poems as a child, almost always, when I'm either sad or on the verge of crying.. I've lost my old poems now and I'd give anything to have them back.. poetry was for idle times for me then.. I didn't know I'd be missing them and wishing I kept them.. *sigh* This part of my profile should be labeled 'Thoughts' coz I sure don't want to write my Biography yet.. *grin* Later then..)

The Best Poem Of Gwen S M Torres

What Life Has Taught Me...

For a moment life was good.
I live, I love, I laugh.
Everything is how I wanted it.
And I can see where I’m at.


In the midst of euphoria,
Something unexpected happened.
I have forgotten about myself,
And of how this chapter will end.

I learned that life is not about me,
Or how I make it,
Or how I perceive it,
Or how I understand it.

It is not about what I can possess,
What heights I can reach,
What goals I can achieve,
What promises I can keep,

It’s not even what I can give without receiving.
Or what others can give me without asking.

Life is about the change in me.
Feeling without touching.
Seeing with eyes closed.
Hearing in the silence.
Crying for what is lost.

It is breaking my walls.
Laughing with the pain.
Loving the little things.
Umbrella in the rain.

Looking back at the life I had,
Of the things that shattered and moved me.
I learned acceptance of the past.
Life is good. As good as it will ever be.
