Forever Poems
95. 66 books lay between us
by Kea Campbell
66 books lay between us.
Innocent love— it's all that I want.
Fingers interlaced; shoulder to shoulder.
Our feet propped up on the living room sofa.
Ask for permission.
Prioritize your own health.
Be honest. Be ambitious.
Care for strangers— gently relentless.

Always and Forever
by Raina Hutchins
I wonder if the day will dawn
That I will wake to find
My life is not revolving round
The world I left behind
The days turned into months
And now the months have grown to years
But still the thought of you
Can turn my laughter into tears
We’d found a love so special
But we lost it all somehow

Remember Me
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
Do not stand on my grave and weep,
Those are just stones, it is not me.
I am the thousand memories we shared together.
I am the million stars we stared at night.
I am that smile in your face that will stay forever.
I am that morning joy, that midnight fight.
I am eight lines of a short poem,
And I am the sestet that finishes a love sonnet.
Do not stand on my tomb and cry,

Once Upon a Time...
by Raina Hutchins
Once upon a time in a world of make believe
There lived a little girl very young and so naive
In her world, there were no tears no broken hearts to mend
For she believed that fairy-tales all had a happy end
As she grew she always dreamed that one day she would meet
A young and handsome prince who would sweep her off her feet
Then one day her prince arrived and got down on one knee

Hellfire and Back
by Percules The Poet
Life is full of beauty like constellations upon the sky.
I might take the time to look up at them tonight.
And I hope you can be here right by my side.
Together we could help each other better understand this confusing life.
Tell me every last problem that is upon your mind.
For you I walk through every pit of hellfire and back just for what you want to find.
I would not want to do anything else with my time.
Except make you feel good inside.
If you leave I might just take your life.
You can either ride or you can die.

Forever Friend
by Anisha Nyambe
have you ever been my friend?
do you want to be my friend?
I will take you to the never
for how long? let's say forever.
forever
is how long it takes to lose one
the Never
is where there is the brightest sun.
Do you like being my friend?
Are you my friend? do you pretend

Mom You Are My One And Only
by Christen Kuikoua
Mom, your love is a mystery:
How can you do it all?
Mother is such a simple word,
But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way.
You are the Thunder and I am Lightning
And I Love the Way You, Know Who You are to me
Cause Mom You are a firework
My Moon in times of darkness
