Analysis of Mutual Contentment



The road of life
Paved with miracles
Not always obvious
Physical or lyrical

But with an open heart
Revealed there a sign
A feeling internally
Serenity so fine

The smile that grows
There upon your face
Evidence of where you’ve been
A certain euphoric place

Many times, brought on by
Loving words of sentiment
Between two hearts is
Mutual contentment

DanceOfThePoet'sPen

Guess you could say I'm a self taught poet. I started writing poetry as a means of dealing with the emotions of finding my Birthmother's obituary and grave site after searching for 10 years. I continued writing and over the course of the last 20 years I've become comfortable in how I write. You'll notice I tend to write a lot about nostalgia and old memories. Hey, when you round the corner of 60 years, you start thinking a lot about the past and where you've been. One of my subjects I write about is love, but I try to write of other things too. I've lived on the south shore of Massachusetts for all of my 64 years. But I love all of New England. Aside from writing poetry, I also love photography and have quite a collection of old antique cameras. Baseball, football, muscle cars and car shows are also some of my interests. Not too crazy about Winter. Spring & Summer are my favorite seasons. more…
