Melissa was chosen as the winner of the poetry category during our February 2017 Love Stinks writing contest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To the one thing that never made sense,<\/p>\n
You always had a way to break my fence.<\/p>\n
It was never clear where you came from,<\/p>\n
But in the end you showed what you could become.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As that feeling one just can\u2019t let go,<\/p>\n
You sure are something everyone should know.<\/p>\n
Time moves forward with all the love,<\/p>\n
But seems to fly high like the wings of a dove.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s times like this when you\u2019re around,<\/p>\n
I find things better floating above the ground.<\/p>\n
You show new light everywhere you are,<\/p>\n
And take me more places than my own car.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Come visit more often and you will see,<\/p>\n
This town needs you, just like me.<\/p>\n
Passion, love and lust alike,<\/p>\n
The town knows we are all alike.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Life is new when you\u2019re in town,<\/p>\n
And no one\u2019s heart appears on the ground.<\/p>\n
How do you keep that feeling alive,<\/p>\n
When no one seems to want to take that dive?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s now or never, I\u2019ve been told,<\/p>\n
To run the tides and keep that hold.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t be scared, you always say,<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve got the time, so come out and play.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The time has come to give the shove,<\/p>\n
Into your time, your name is love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
