I’ll never fall this way again
When I fell in love
She caught me
And although she’s gone
She never let go
It’s been that way
And yet even today
I often wonder why
Only love knows the truth
She belonged to my youth♥
.
How do you?
Erase an image
When the heart says no
Lose a memory
When the heart says no
Dry your tears
When the heart says no
Relieve the sadness
When the heart says no
Dismiss the fragrance
When the heart says no
Say good-bye
When the heart says no
How do you know?
Only those who have truly loved and lost so
Can appreciate why
The heart says no♥
*****************
Oh how I wish
I didn’t love you so
You pretend to be what you are not
You feign reality
Continually
Cease-less
You role play life
That you invent
Fabricate
Imitate
Simulate
You wear a pretentious front
You attempt to deceive
A false showing
With false reasoning
While in your heart you believe
You play a make-believe lying game
With never a hint of shame
That we also play along
So why should we assign any blame
When we ourselves pretend there’s nothing wrong
**********************************************
“God has given you one face,
And you make yourself another.”
William Shakespeare
Why pray to an imposter
Why hold up futility
Why claim misplaced loyalty
Why follow false reasoning
You speak lies your heart has conceived
You utter lies your heart has believed
You owe allegiance to
Things that are
Worthless
Impotent
Powerless
You kiss a piece of wood
You caress things you’ve obsessed for
You chase after flattering lips
With misdirected devotion
You’ll never know how fragile life can be
When you live out each day in vanity
They may go by many titles
But soon they become your secret idols
Do you morn for yourself?
Do you feel any joy in unrelenting pain?
Do you witness any gain?
Are you willing to see tomorrow
If it’s worth the pain today?
Pangs may seize you
Pain may grip you
Painkillers haunt you
Painless
Endless
Relentless
Whom do you turn to?
Life has no guarantees
No one is immune
Some tolerate others can’t
Some can rise above
Others descend below
Soon you come to realize
That life has no compromise
Only a choice
You can’t have both
But are you willing to surrender your pain
Into the hands of
Someone who is willing to break an oat?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“Pain is the breaking of the shell that
encloses your understanding.”
Kahlil Gibran
With whom am I in enmity with?
With whom do I wish to sit?
Only those that share my beliefs?
Who never call me a hypocrite?
Who is my enemy?
Those whose bitterness leads to hostility
Those that conceal their animosity
Those with latent prejudices
Those that display antagonism
Those that harbor rage
Those who exercise pride
I have made my choice
I’ve made clear my voice
I know with whom I sit
My place is at the gate
Never to be called a hypocrite
Less you take care
Less you take heed
You must also choose
His seed or hers
Why does man fall in love?
Why does the heart make it happen?
Why does it tell you to feel that way?
Not to let go
Never caring how much pain or hurting so
It awakens your desires
It stirs your passions
It plays with your thoughts
You long for relief
Your heart tells you no
It tells you to follow
“Let me take you where no man has ever been
A place where love begins”
It leads you on a journey through love’s hidden places:
Romance
compassion
Sorrow
Grief
Jealousy
Love’s other traces
It shows you its beauty
It tells you of its charms
You taste its sweetness
The fragrance of its passion
You touch its essence wrapped in meekness
It lifts you back and tells you why
Love never sleeps
Love never tires
Revealing itself at a moment’s try
Love gives a nudge
Love gives a shove
As it has always been
Love awakens love
Some say dreams are only made of wishes
A longing for
A heart’s desire
But dreams are like clouds passing through
You find yourself reaching
But nothing to hold on to
They quickly pass leaving one to wonder
If they ever will stop to have them come true
Some dreams are full of sorrows
Some dreams are filled with joy
Some dreams we sometimes borrow
Some dreams we sometimes ignore
There are dreams that make your heart stand still
There are dreams that tease you just for a thrill
There are dreams that will never be told
There are dreams you wish you could always hold
There are dreams that never can be
There are dreams that only your eyes will see
They say that one can never touch a dream
But a dream can touch a heart
So follow your dreams
Your heart’s desires
If not, unfulfilled dreams may tear you apart

“Dreams are the today’s answers to tomorrow’ s questions”
Edger Cayce
How can words ever explain how
I truly feel inside
Words cannot express nor words describe
A love I tried, but failed to hide
For words have no meaning without emotion
They play to the heart
A true lover’s devotion
It’s a tragedy not to love
Or not to give love in return
But worst of all
To love and not to be loved in return
This I have learned
I fell in love just once and it had to be you
The only real love in my life I did not pursue
Too many years wasted
Too many tears tasted
Too many days cut out
Too many nights gone without
If only I could have seen you
Walking down the aisle
Beautiful in white
If only I could have seen you
Holding our child
Smiling with delight
But fate was never on our side
And destiny was our enemy
And although we may never see tomorrow
No regrets, no pain, no sorrow
And although we may never see forever
And never say never is never-ever
I will always cling to what could have been
Comforted by the love that lies within♥
Sunrise, sunset
One day blends into another
It’s hard to tell them apart
When one doesn’t know where to start
You step aside and watch time pass by
Never stopping
Never a why
Time moves on
Leaving you to ponder
Upon what might have been
If you tried
But choices are choices
Never to be taken back
Regrets are regrets
Won’t let you forget
Mistakes are mistakes
Never to forsake
Choices, regrets, mistakes
Are what memories make
No one can stop the movement of time
Only memories make time stand still
For no one can turn back time
No one has the power to
So let it lead you on as it will
