Poetry by Mich
How much of yesterday is to be forgotten
For our story to begin?
How much of yesterday is to be treasured
For our life to be remembered?
A yesterday lived in today
It is tomorrow to stay.
Change not the lapse of time
It can never be flipped upside down.
Written for V.J.’S WEEKLY CHALLENGE #33: UPSIDE-DOWN
I know I didn’t get to say goodbye
The least you want to even hear
You needed badly my hellos
Of the visits, I missed the most.
I know I didn’t get to say goodbye
But let me just come in for once
Let me have a moment with you
We’ll make it worth, I swear to you
I know I didn’t get to say goodbye
That’s why you left without waiting
Without a trail of not knowing why
You’re gone, without goodbye too
Where are you now?
That, I will never sure know
But please let me take a look
Of how life has become since you left
Without a single trace of goodbye.

Dream, Princess -Quadruple Etheree
Soar,
Higher
Dream bigger
“Go my princess”
My! you love it Dad
Oh gee such a dreamer
Like Ariel, “Little Mermaid”
I frequently lose track of time
Skirrs museums and art galleries
I was a dreamer, back then as a kid
Best,
Always
What I see
To everyone
Around in me
Optimist, you said
Reminds you of Belle from
Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”
Dad, I was your princess always
Curiosity is innate in me
You applaud me for that, how proud you are.
Dad,
It’s been
Years you’re gone
I remembered
We dream together
To Disneyland, we go
That didn’t happen you’re gone
“I went to Dad, with my princesses”
They too are dreamers, like you and I
We dream we soar, and we make it happen
Hey,
You know
I almost
Forgot, to say
Pocahontas is
Who I grew up to be
I am always a dreamer
With a great sense of optimism
Empowered, vested and entitled
Has become of me, your little princess.
Note:
A whimsical etheree in remembrance of our recent trip to disneyland and in honor of “believing in dreams and making it happen”.

I will soar higher, faster anywhere
Craving to achieve my desired result
I can go astray and be lost somewhere
Ascending in great vertical extent
Let me journey through beyond the rainbow
And witness a pot of gold at the end
With thee my fervor hope and zeal I vow
To advance and never ever dare bend
Better yet see the universe afar
There is more beyond, I am sure of that
Greatness awaits, a magnitude of star
I feel it through, convinced without a doubt
But I am lost in your arms, undisturbed
Mi Amor, with you here I am secured.
Note:
This is my first attempt to do a Shakespearean Sonnet but I simplified mine by simply sticking to the 10 syllables per line count with a rhyming scheme of ababa, cdcd, efef, gg
I still follow the fourteen lines in a Shakespearean sonnet though. The first twelve lines are divided into three quatrains with four lines each. In the three quatrains, the poet establishes a theme or problem and then resolves it in the final two lines, called the couplet.
P.S.
Inspired by Gina of Singledust’s, Sonnet https://alifelesslivedblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/05/a-sonnet-i-end-where-you-begin/

Hey!
Say it.
Don’t keep it.
What have I done?
Control not yourself,
Loosen up, don’t restraint.
I can’t read between the lines.
Tell me, it is breaking my heart;
I know I am damn, I am hurt too.
We’re dying, this air, this space, killing us.

My thoughts are free
to go anywhere
but it’s amazing
how it always head
back in your direction.
I love you to the moon and back.

I.
Mark my words, these chords I’m playing
All my life, I will be singing
All through rays of sunshine and rains
All through hurts and through pains
My love will keep burning.
Chorus 1.
It’s like a little heaven on earth (2×)
‘Cos it’s like a little heaven on earth
When I’m with you…oooh
II.
I swear this song I will sing forever
As we grow older and wiser
All through the days of my life
All through the moments in strife
My love will be yours ever.
Chorus 2.
It’s like a little heaven on earth (2x)
‘Cos it’s like a little heaven on earth
When I believe in you….oooh
Bridge
Heaven on earth…heaven on earth…
With you….oooh…with you…
P.S.
This week’s photo prompt of Helene made me wanna hum a song and strum a guitar. It probably would feel so good singing a song watching those lights up and above in the sky so high, up until they become tiny little stars in heaven from earth. BUT I cannot hum a song nor strum a guitar so a wrote a beautiful song instead which I hope one day I can (or someone can ) can put a melody on it.
Its the January breeze
that reminds me
of a lost love
a lost affection
and a forgotten promise
forever and always.
Its another year
Without you
Dad…
P.S.
Happy new year everyone…
