I don’t understand
Tell me why?
I touch your hand
I touch your face
I touch your lips
I touch your hair
I get no where
Tell me why?
You don’t touch me with your heart
Listen to your heart
Why can’t I touch your heart?

I dry my eyes from idle tears
While the daffodils bend under the crimson sky
And the winds whistle through a darken sky
While the moon gazes and winks as it passes by
The sparrow covers its newly hatched eggs
As the high cirrus clouds cry out, “You can’t Denie”
Life is brief
Love is long
Follow the signs
To where you belong

“Love is happiness
Love is life”
Thomas Henry Burrows

I picture your face
I reflect on your eyes
The sound of your laughter
I heard your sighs

I remember two straws in a coke
Our hands across the booth
I remember the jute box
Playing our favorite song

But times they do change
And so did you
It was not our job to control destiny
It was not our job to control fate
It was not our job to create luck
You drifted away
And it was too late

I was so wrong
To string you along
You were always there
willing to share

I took advantage of your love
I thought we were a pair
You would wait
and still be here

My timing was off
I opened the door
and you were gone
No whisper
No sound

Never to return
A lesson learned
Waiting for tomorrow
May only bring you sorrow

An empty jar
Full of love
Full of dreams
But nothing as it seems

An empty jar
Filled with time
Memories of love
Left behind

An empty jar
Filled with tears
Of a romance
Of promises
That disappeared

An empty jar
Full of conflicting thoughts
Moments unwind
Left behind

A broken jar
Beginning to crack
No time to stop
No turning back

A shattered jar
Scattered on the floor
Pieces of love
Never to be seen anymore

When does love begin?
When does love end?
Is love forever?
Or never- ever?

Past present future
Yesterday today tomorrow
It’s here where forever lies
Where love forever abides

Is love?
Unchangeable
Unrequited
Unconditional
Unrepentant

Does love’s arc
Ever parallel your reality?
Does the past
kiss the present?
Does the preset
Hold the future?

How long does your forever last?
Is there a forever and a day?
Ageless love
Timeless love
Un sempre per amore
Sempre fine
***************************************
ti amore per sempre

She watched me off with another
A longing in her heart to be my lover
Her lips remained silent her eyes an occasional glance
A love denied never a chance
The pain of remembering A love locked away
A love in limbo promised for another day
Tears kept in a bottle dreams kept on hold
Solitary nights thoughts without ever so cold

A love that lingers is a love forever
It never forgets to remind
For unforgotten love is a love forever-never
A lover’s haunt played in rewind

Over time the heart remains fast
It carries love’s burden always in mime
Memories and dreams locked in the past
Waiting for the moment to come together
Another Place Another Time

Am I a fool for still loving her?
I was a fool for handing her my heart
Maybe it’s because I loved her too much
To love her any less wound tear me apart

I grieve for a love I can never have
A love that I once held in my arms
A love that only a fool would understand
A special love between a woman and a man

Fools hold on to dreams to beautiful to last
Never knowing in their hearts that they may pass
Fools hold on to love no matter how it seems
To let go would leave an emptiness full of forgotten dreams

Although A fool soon learns that with love comes pain
A fool’s heart will still go on
Searching for another love to dream of
For without love a fool’s heart cries in vain

But fools sometimes turn wise
Playing games that only wise men play
But they soon realize
That a fool’s love is the only love that survives
