Pen And Paper (16 Years Later) Poem by Tamara Turner

Pen And Paper (16 Years Later)

Rating: 5.0


Pen and paper.
For when time will heal.
Pen and paper
For words held still in time that I cannot feel.
For the one who touched my soul in many ways that he did not know
Picture frames held still frozen in time
The burning image of you never forgotten in my mind
Recollections of old conversations long ago
Me sitting there listening to you
Asking me questions that I did not know
Even though I said nothing I could still feel a connection start to grow.
I could feel your kindness in every word
I said nothing you still seemed intrigued
But I was too far away
To ever fill your need
16 years later I thought about that day.
I thought about all the things that I wanted to say.
Then one day I thought I saw you in the store.
I could of sworn I seen you about ten feet away. No but I wasn't sure.
My vision sucks should I say more?
So once again I said nothing
Maybe 16 years ago from today we could of been something.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Pen and paper.
for when time will heal.
Pen and paper.
For words help still in time that cannot feel.
For the one touched my soul in many ways thst he did not know.
Picure frames held still frozen in time.
The burning image of you never forgotten in my mind.
Recollections of old conversations long ago.
Me sitting there listening to you.
Asking me questions that i did not know.
Even though I said nothing i could still feel a connection start to grow.
I could feel your kindness in every word.
I said nothing you still seemed intrigued.
But I was too far away.
To ever fill your need.
16 years later I thought about that day.
I thought about all the things that i wanted to say.
Then one day like my prayers was being answer i saw you in the store.
I could of sworn i seen you ten feet away.
But no i wasn't sure.
My vision sucks should i say more?
So once again I said nothing.
Maybe 16 years ago from today we could of been something.
