282 Clopin Clopant

The road was dark and quite tonight just light of the moon as it trailed down lighting the Pathway. Down a distance I saw a shadow of a man walking behind his shadow. I did not recognize who he was?


His head was down
Moving so slowly Like standing still
As if he had lost his will?
Nowhere bound
Where is he going?
I said to myself
Looking so lonely
Needing help?
Lost his love?
Is his lover gone?
Did he blow his chance?
No more romance?
Endless love?
Last dance?
As he passed bye
I heard him sigh
She’s gone It’s over
Is that what you want?
I answered

283-Soul Coaxing

Walking in her shadow
Wherever we may go
To gather her attention
While
I sprinkle her heart
With patience and kindness
Pleasant words I have spoken
To gently urge her to notice me
How do you influence a heart?
When the heart does not see
How do you persuade a heart?
When the heart does not hear
How do you cause a heart to respond?
When it is not dependent on
Time to move on?
Let her go?
Remove the ache
Don’t let your heart break

289 Time Took you Away

Time wasted
Time in
Time out
Time up
Time was
No time like the right time
To return to where you belong

Leaving is easy Returning is hard
Leaving behind memories
Leaving friends and loved ones
Time took you away
Hard to return
That I’ve leaned

Time to give up on your dreams
Life is not always what it seems
Your heart has to mend
Its time must now end
It’s not what you want from this life
That satisfies
But what you need
******************************

in search of what he needs
And returns home to find it.”

281- So Glad to be Sad

It is so sad waiting for a reply
knowing that your heart may be denied
I left it there without a word
knowing that it would be heard
An answer I cannot dismiss
Hanging on our first kiss

I am so glad it’s this way
For love’s love is mean to be
Two hearts beating in sync
A two-soul dependency
However
Silence is heart breaking
No one wants to hear
Too much to bear
Words not spoken are heard
Defining what cannot be had
Leaving you knowing that it is okay
When you are
So glad to be sad
**************************************

but how you bear it.”

279-Age does not Matter

Does love dwindle as age continues?
Does love wither on the vine when faced with time?
You are too old that is what you are told
No, it is how she makes you feel
Then you know that she is real
Feelings aside you cannot hide how you feel inside
*********************************************

Love is outside of time
To die is mortal love
God’s love is eternal

or to dream a new dream”

288-Who is the Greatest?

How do you qualify for greatness in this world?
Is it who you are or what you are?
Nothing wrong with the list below
Achievement is the way to go
But rising to the top, makes you see below

Possessions
Position
Appearance
Human service
Education
Popularity
Talent
Sports
Philanthropy
Etc.etc.etc.

Take your pick add or change the list
Do what you wish
But a list is just a list
It has nothing to do with your character
You determine what you must and what is just

Character defines greatness
Do you:
LIE
Cheat
Gossip
Disgrace others
Ruin reputations
Show contempt
Etc.etc.etc.
As you look down below
Is this how you reaped what you sowed?
Only yourself can change yourself
******************************************
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit
but with humility of mind regard one another
As more important than yourself
Do not merely look out for your personal interests
But also for the interests of others”

030-A Tale of Two Lovers

(1)
A sigh and a touch can mean so much
A longing embrace a kiss on the face
In her heart she could never replace

(2) The Woman
She saw him one night and her heart was his
Her eyes hypnotized frozen in time
A turn of a head and she caught his eye
A momentary glance that seem forever
She felt her body shake as he came nearer
Her thoughts wondering a moment of anxiety
Her trembling lips stammering for a word
Something to say something to be heard
The sound of his voice quickened her heart
His coming closer stirred up hidden passion
Feelings uncontrollable all inhibition dashed

(3)
They talked for hours and then for days
The weeks flew by
His charms inspired his looks amazed
She clung to his every thought his every desire
Nothing it seemed would ever quench her heart on fire
Every kiss brought a fulfillment of every wish
She could not claim herself for herself belonged to him
His thoughts her thoughts his needs her needs
Lost in a timeless moment nothing would ever exceed
BUT!
A woman’s intuition can always sense
The condition of a man’s disposition

(4)
He left while still in love
His desires divided his heart torn between
He left her behind A memory left to dream

(5) The Man
He caught her stare that night
His eyes piercing him to the marrow
An attraction he could not resist
Feelings he could not dismiss
He walked toward her His heart leading the way
Each step another thought
What would he say?
His closeness brought a scent of perfume
His eyes fixed as if she was the only person in the room
Her voice stilled his heart entrapped in the moment set apart
They talked for hours and then for days
The weeks flew by
Her charms inspired her looks amazed
She was his he was hers
A love defined on every word
The touch of her lips on his
The touch of her hand on his face an infinite embrace
(6) But!
Love seems to know when it is time to leave
Both departed in different direction taking along each other’s affections
On that night love left without a trace
(7)
No one knows when love will come or if it remains or when it goes
All we have is the magic it awakens when two can find
The secret to unlock the mysteries that love wishes to bestow
Two joined at the heart never ever part
For a love’s heart knows nothing of time
Time can never replace what love can’t deny
For love is stronger than time itself

261-Every Star Tells a Silent Story

Of
Reaching for scarlet skies
Searching for midnight blue
In times of sorrow
In times of sadness
Looking for times of gladness
Looking for times of happiness
Each constellation tells a tale
Of the north star that never fails
But !
To find contentment in your life
You must

Search far beyond
Before life and hope are gone
For!
On your journey’s end all you have is faith and love To depend up

While they snub contentment”

278 C “Time Waits” Only for those it Waits for

On the street of dreams where dreams go to die
Stood an old empty book store
Curiosity got a hold of me to see more
I spotted an old dusty book
Laying on the shelf all by itself
I enquired about it but was told
To read it myself I cannot give you any help
I picked it up
The binding was torn
The pages were yellow and worn
I carefully opened the cover of the book
A misty odor over took
The dedication was no longer visible
Just the letters For M.P.T.G
Every page had the words” Time Waits..”
The last page was missing.
I said to myself
Has the story ended?
Has the play played on?
Has the music faded away?
Has the poem lost its rhyme?
Has romance become nonexistent?
Have all things come to an end?
You turned the pages I burned the book
It said:
Your yes is your yes your no is your no
There’s no middle ground
Time waits for a decision
Eternity and forever are not part of time
Your time is the only time you have
You make your choices count or you will no longer rhyme
And so it is
Or you keep turning the pages
