October Shadows by Dayna Bateman

October Shadows by Dayna Bateman

The lines across your body
Repeating phrases of limitless
Passion and
I could only think of you

When he held my chin up I
Was defeated and confused
It’s only
Sunday and I’ll never know

The difference between a poem
A song, a story, and
A metaphor
I never claimed to be

Anything but in love with you
And the breath between two
Stanzas
Of you making love to me

Her Two Cents

Lovelorn Poets Her Two Cents IconI never claimed to be Sunday and I’ll never know of you making love to me. I could only think of you.
Stanzas: It’s only passion and a metaphor.

Walk into the haze,
We float to oblivion,
What could now have been ?

Missed Connections in Orange County

S,
In three words,
I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life:

It goes on.

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconHer Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
We’re spotlighting Orange County today as our featured feed. When you’re visiting Disneyland and want to know if you’ve caught someone’s eye, this is the place to look! I really liked this simple message for “S” – it’s good advice for those of us residing outside of the fantastic time-warp of the magic Kingdom. Questions abound, but life goes on.
