LOVE
New Poem J
Like stillness
she swept over me
- enveloped in
her care and love
- Before consciousness
apprehended it.
She is my
reminder
Who woke me
from "the buried life".
Intense –
sudden
– the swift cheetah overtook me
Mea Puella –
Cor Cordium…..
Thoughts on Love
Come tell me of
your love
Does he fulfill
your need
Does he satisfy
your inmost desire
- for sweet
content and sharp pleasure.
Is he all to
you - all that you desire
Does he inflame
your heart with strong passion
Is he all to
you so that you will be all to him?
Oh tell me of
your love.
DO YOU FEEL
Do
you feel my love -
it is as warm as the sun on your face
and back.
Do you feel my care -
it is as fresh and strong as the breeze
that cools you.
Do you feel my desire -
it is as sharp and salty as the taste of
the sea on your lips.
Gain and Loss
Who but you
could capture me so
And in what
rapture then enthrall me
So that I count
all my gain but loss
And see my life
as so much dross
Unless I yield
to your fair prison.
A year beyond I
So
now we may count in years not days or weeks or months
the
measure of our love
Yet
still each moment encloses an eternity of
care,
tears, laughter, hope and love –
So
years then count little as the measure of our love
For
this union is bounded by eternity
and
years are but moments in the measure of our love
On Being 24
Years pass on
Time flows by
But you still -
like a phoenix
Rise ever new
Neither time
nor years diminish your
Beauty
Your softness
Your love
Your compassion
Your care
Your joy
Are ever new
At twenty four
– It is you I adore
LOSS
A year beyond - II
So now we may
count in years not days or weeks or months
the measure of
your hate
Yet still each
moment encloses an eternity of
lies, tears,
betrayal, despair and loss –
So years then
count as little as a measure of our former lives
For this union
is bounded by your faithless betrayal
and years are
but moments in the measures of your hate
Loneliness of Love
My Love is fulfilling it makes me complete
Without it I am empty and only half a me.
When my Love is with me I am alive and replete
When my Love is not by me I sense a defeat.
She is often too distant and I sense a loss
My heart is adrift in the loneliness of
love.
Space Between
There is a space between us filled by a
shadow
His name is unspoken but his presence is
felt
I fear for his presence - it threatens my
love
I wonder just when that presence will part
us
So then we'll be two and no longer a one.
Delusion or Love
Was it really all delusion when it felt like love?
Did I deceive myself for these three years - a greater fool each year?
Or was it hidden love not meant to be
- so that at hint of revelation she choose to
flee?
Such ashes now of that conceived, deluded, passion cover my soul.
or is this delusion still?
Would Pilate know the truth - or only jest at my confusion?
Yet the empty heart might tell me truth –
Such ashes now of that conceived, deluded, passion cover my soul.
or is this delusion still?
Would Pilate know the truth - or only jest at my confusion?
Yet the empty heart might tell me truth –
of love once born - now lost in the
confusion of fear.
End of
the Affair
Her words
sounded the truth of all creation - all life
It is
conceived, flourishes then withers and dies.
Nothing escapes
this rigor.
And so for love
- born of a season - in hope of everlasting time.
Fanned by
passion and desire the flame grows ever more intense
But like the
tide it ebbs
Flows out from
the shore of fondness
Till one time
it does not return.
Why did you treat me like I was not there?
I sat beside you as close as to myself
I gave you all I have – I gave you all
myself
So why did your actions push me away
Your words once were loving they draw me in
So why did you hurt me as you did
Why did you treat me so badly at the end
