Couldn’t take you off my mind.
My heart’s in a trance.
I’ve been beset and, in a bind,
Searching for your glance.
A lousy thief am I
Stealing glances in the night
Resisting would be a lie
Trying not to catch a sight
Pretending not to see
A simple glimpse of delight
Those sweet smiles with glee
Brightens even a darkened night
Such a sweet sorrow
And a bitterness bliss
Not knowing if tomorrow
Would come with a kiss
Lost for words
And the heart skips a beat
Like piercing swords
It aches in retreat
I could only wonder
The thoughts of us
What’s beyond the yonder
It’s all a haze with all the fuss

Hi! My pen name is Joe Valentine or JV for short. I started writing when I was in high school over 20 years ago. I haven't had the opportunity to pursue my love of writing for quite some time and I thought I'd try to start it up again. A few things I enjoy is poetry, mostly Shakespeare and most of his Tragic plays. I often feel the words speak to me every time I read them. I also enjoy reading other great poets with the likes of Edgar Allen Poe, Emily Dickinson, Maya Angelou to name a few. I hope to share my work and experiences through my blog and eventually try to be published--one can dream! So keep on dreaming until it becomes a reality!
