Gratitude


I'm glad your here,

Living with me,

Glad we can chat,

Nonsensically.

 

Prior to this,

It was lonely and cold,

Prior to this, 

I was getting fed up and old.

 

Now your here,

With me to stay,

We have laughs and share stories,

This is more than ok.

 

Crazy to think we tried before,

Intimacy and kisses,

Too young, 

What a flaw.

 

Chasing something,

Called the grass is greener,

Stop, you fool.

This is the fresh pasture. 

 

A generation later, 

Online match,

Hey, how are you doing?

I can't believe youre still a catch. 

 

Date and mate,

To try and re-create,

The passion we had,

To pro-create. 

 

Dying inside,

A part of me,

Couldn't tell you at first,

Complete mystery.

 

Went away, a little dismay,

Lost a friend, 

Company,

Same old trend. 

 

An accident, a fire,

Together once more,

Not sure what to do, 

Am I allowed to touch you?

 

Gone again, 

That numbing feeling,

Lonely again,

My old friend. 

 

Suddenly back again,

New house mate,

Uneasy at first,

This is alright. 

 

Settled in,  friends again,

Laughs, chats and banter,

This is great,

Don't meander.

 

I think I want more than this,

I want you totally,

Be my girl, my love,

Eternally.

 

You do more for me, 

More than I can say,

I'm falling in love with you baby,

No more play.

Like a lot of us been through shitty parts in my life. In 2018 I was living in London, attending a part time acting school. It was a great time. Also I was presenting at an event, one of the tutors at the acting school took me under his wing and mentored me. Part of that process he taught me how to write poetry, or at least express myself through it. Now, I write a poem every day, I write for a hobby. I've had a varied career, the only thing I can say is writing is the best things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. Have got 14 publications on a short story website and launching my own website in December 2022, http://www.PeterGreenhall.com Feel free to add any comments. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
