Because of the holiday yesterday, I
had forgotten to do my Tuesday Journal Past Blast, so it’s way late. But here
is a poem I wrote maybe in 1990. This might be as personal as I may get in
these postings.
Chris… saying grace with you
telling secrets
sleeping over
let’s not make love
Deceiving our emotions
digging a new path
I’m fearing what may lie ahead
being turned on by a glance
Call me tonight because
I need you.
If
you’d like to join this blog hop and post old journal entries every Tuesday,
just join in on the linky below.
Thanks for sharing Nancy - you're braver than I :)
ReplyDeleteObviously I don't know what happened, but I hope you have fond memories of that time... it sounds like Chris was very special to you.
You said a lot in those few words. At times, I think we all have had our own 'Chris' moments.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a hop although I never really kept a journal so can't join in. This sounds like a personal and special time in your life.
ReplyDeleteSweet poem, we all need someone. I might take part in this next week.
ReplyDeleteNancy - this is a great idea for a hop . . . however, I'm trying to cut back on my blogging days . . .I'll see if I can make this work in the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome! (I'm just a little swamped)
sweet and sentimental! glad you shared that piece of your past!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh... I totally felt that poem. I did. It was beautiful---a lovely highlight to my morning, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThat's an intense poem, Nancy. Would love to join your bloghop, but I've never really kept a journal or diary before.
ReplyDeleteSo intimate and eloquent and yes, intense.
ReplyDeleteI liked that poem....very powerful stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful poem, Nancy. So much emotion in so little words.
ReplyDeleteVery deep words went into that poem, I'm sure we can all relate ;)
ReplyDeleteLike M.J., I would love to join but never had a journal or diary before. I hope it kicks off though, its an awesome idea!
Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments!
ReplyDelete@ Mark K. - Yep, he was special for a time.
@Jen - I'm 'bout ready for another "Chris" moment!
@Suzanne & M.J. - I'm surprised with how many writers never kept journals
@Sheena-kay - I hope you do!
@Tyrean - I do understand. Blogging does take up so much time, but of course would love you joining in if you find the time
@Tara - Thanks! Had to get over the nerves to post it. :)
@Morgan - I never thought of it as a morning poem! ;)
@Julie, Mark M. & Cathrina - Thanks! Love your inputs.
@S.K - I tell you, I've been melancholic all day after posting this!
This is a cool idea. I have posted a couple of my teenage journal entries and might post on a Tuesday. It's fun to re-live the past through journals.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see how you were as a teen. Unfortunately, I don't have anything saved before my college days since my last move and my file cabinet was lost.
DeleteWow-ee, Wow, Wow.....is all I can say. Nice glimpse of your personal side.
