POETRY IN MOTION: This Time It's for Real

  I want to be remembered by the following poems I wrote ages ago, for whom these poems were dedicated, and for the feelings attached to every line composed during idle moments.

Now I can fin'lly say it

Not just pretend

I'm done with this make believe

I'm done with hoping

Done for good…

And it's for real.

Time made such a big diff'rence

I've grown out of

This feeling that's so far-fetched

I shot the moon

Hit big time

Now it's for real

I'm ready to rise again

No more drowning

Been into deep for so long

I'm back again

On the shore

Yes, it's for real

 

Fin'lly I can smile again

Somebody came

With a parachute for me

No more falling

Just in time

Glad it's for real…

This time.
