No prompts in here today. instead I felt like writing a two piece poem based on the title of the song ‘Needles and Pins’.

Nerves on Pins & Needles

The sun is shining brightly, 
Warming the strings of my soul...
Another year of loneliness,
Has me thinking, it's time to go...

My gaze falls upon your beauty,
I drift in thoughts of what could be...
Shyness is preventing our future existing 
Scared to trust in you, ruining my fantasy...

The golden aura that surrounds you...
Shows me inside your heart is pure
With my nerves on pins and needles
I shyly engage you in a playful demure...

The Tears I Hide

I've stood here beside you, through life's ups and downs
We've walked the path of love that others have not known
The struggles were real, sometimes I thought we had lost

Looking back into our journey, I can not help but smile
Remembering the shy boy who took so long to say hello
My protector of honor, my king of comedy, my rock of love

I still adore you, I long for your touch, I need and want you 
Into the golden years, I still gaze into your gentle green eyes
Wishing you could remember...
