for so long

While today is my three year blog anniversary, multiple eyes surgeries forced me on a long hiatus and limited my actual blogging time to barely one and a half years.

As my long time followers already know, I suffer from permanent blurred vision.  My eyesight may be blurred, but I can clearly see that I wouldn’t be here without your wonderful support.

To celebrate (perhaps amuse is a better word) I have included the first poem I ever wrote in my life.  On November 3, 2015, I penned and posted this poem (and image). It was my first crude attempt at writing poetry.

for so long

.

for so long
I adored her through my window
far too long
I suffered her silent tears
so unloved
this siren breathes unappreciated
too unloved
retreating in the shadows of her fears

for so long
he abused her with indifference
far too long
drowning in her love in vain
so unloved
if only she would let me adore her
too unloved
my tears can wash away her pain

.

Please, excuse my slow return from vacation.  The change in climate from Cancun to New York has me sick as a dog.  I will be responding to your comments and reading your wonderful posts.

  1. Oh Drew. I never knew about your vision issues. We have something in common. I can’t comment on the poem because I am crying about yoyr vision loss. I feel shocked. You never said anything, and here I am bleating on about my blindness. Xx

  2. Welcome back from tropical paradise! I hope you had a wonderful time. If you are anything like me, you want to go back immediately, especially seeing how insane this country is becoming daily! Happy anniversary! Isn’t amazing how fast time flies by? Not that I am surprised, but your first poem was amazing and even chilling with real emotions! I know I am not just speaking for myself when I say, it is good to have you back. I enjoy reading your fabulous poems!!

  6. A beautiful piece Drew.And for a first time write- amazing! Permanent blurred vision- that must be so difficult. Like always wanting to clean your glasses because there is a smudge. Is there nothing that can be done?

    1. Had a great vacation. Well rested and de-stressed.

      Thank you for your honest opinion. It is raw around the edges. Not polished at all.
      But with the support of my fellow bloggers I improved my poetry. lol Or at least I like to think so.
      Appreciate your words and honesty. Thank you so much

    1. Smiling so hard. My blog has been giving me fits with messages. I have posted some comment three and four times before the blogger finally receives them. Then some bloggers receive all of them. quite awkward.

      Thank you for your kind wishes and lovely words. You are a treasure.
