Love is sometimes fickled
Forever changing
You find yourself
Trapped between
May and December
Only to remember
An empty heart filled
With empty dreams
A fool in love
None the wise
To find himself
A consolation prize
ttons
They say you’re a hopeless romantic
Your dreams will never come true
To count on fate to supply a mate
Is only reserved for a few
But you continue to dream your dreams
For dreams never dreamt will never come true
For love will be yours if you forever believe
With tearing eyes and momentary sighs
You’ll forever wear your heart on your sleeve
They say true love is just for dreamers
The search you search is in vain
After your journey is over
You are left with nothing but pain
But
Take the risk
Take the chance
Believe in love
Follow your quest for love and romance
And some day you’ll find your dream
Give me just one moment in real time
To change my destiny
Give me just one moment in real time
To see my dreams in front of me
Give me just one moment in real time
To realize my fate
Give me just one moment in real time
To know it’s not too late
Give me just one moment in real time
To be whom I wish to be
Give me just one moment in real time
To see my future in front of me
Give me just one moment in real time
To fulfill my desires
Give me just one moment in real time
To have her here with me
An echo that makes no sound
Music playing that no one hears
Eyes that shed invisible tears
Confusing sounds of sounds of silence
Love’s never heard
Love’s never reciprocated
Love’s never acknowledged
But
Take hold
Place it a pocket
Display it a locket
for out of no where
Some day
IT may unfold
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
