You Were, You Are Poem by Rani Turton

You Were, You Are

Rating: 5.0


You were, you are
An indissociable part of my destiny.

At dusk when the birds settle in their nests
A calm comes upon me.

I think of the stanzas and sentences
That this hand transcribed into poems.

I think of the emotion in your eyes
Silent, unspoken.

I think of the years transcribed into days.
Oh, was that wise.

The world has a way of rending and rendering.
The world can tear you into two.

When in the silence of the night I wonder about you
The tears, tears, fill up my eyes.

You are, you were and always will be
An indissociable part of my destiny.

This is a wonderful poem.... I would deleate the third stanza though. 'I think of the stanzas and sentences That this hand transcribed into poems.' The first stanza is great!
