Hold on to love
The poets say
For like water
Love and life
Just drift away
How do you keep the love from fading?
Time doesn’t heal as they say
Time only moves love further away
Leaving remnants of love’s decay
Life will cease
Thoughts to descend
To a place unknown
To a place with no end
Where love dies
Only to be born again
Mortality is bitter
Life paralyzing
When love’s not realized
It flows into eternity
There to remain
An unfulfilled memory
No longer to sustain
What do we do when it’s no longer there?
The love the two of us shared
What do we do with the memories we made?
The ones that linger on, the ones that never fade
What do we do with the dreams left behind?
The ones that were yours
The ones that were mine
What do we do with the time on our hands
When we no longer share each others plans
What do we do when time lies?
When destiny rules
When fate distrusts
In our hearts they can never take away
Those things from us
Loving one is beautiful
Loving two is grand
Never dreamt never planed
But to whom do you offer your hand?
No one lives with an indecisive heart
A procrastinating heart will tear you apart
Torn between, you soon discover that
You became a disenchanted lover
You realize to discern is something you have to learn
It therefore becomes no surprise when you surmise
Holding on to two is hard to do
Letting go of one can’t be done
No matter who you choose
You will always lose
Do you really find love in your dreams?
Do you really find love at first sight?
Do you really find love when you wish on a star?
Do you really find love if your heart tells you so?
Do you really find love in your very first kiss?
A memory you just can’t dismiss
Do you really find love in the morning dew?
April showers, fragrance of spring.
Garden flowers, a walk in the park,sunshine after a summer rain,
Warmth of a winter’s fire,or the touch of winter snow?
Are these the times that tell you so
Many follow their dreams looking for love
Others follow their hearts
while others do not know where to start
But here’s a question I believe to be true
Do you really fine love or those love find you?
“Giving up doesn’t mean your weak;
It means that you are strong enough to let go” unknown author

Not easy saying good-bye
Began with hope
Fell victim to fate
Time meant to borrow
Has left only sorrow

“Sadness flies away on the wings of time” Jean de la Fontaine
Leaving
Empty silence
Empty tastes
Open prays
A barrage of tears
You owned the night
You ruled the day
Out of my hands
You slipped away
Back in ’09
Wanted to find
Lost in ’63
A part of me
Quickly learned
Love’s revere
***********************************************
“Let no one who loves be unhappy even love unreturned
Has its rainbow” James M. Barrie
These poems were yours
It’s always been
It started with you
It ends with you
A heavy sigh
Brings a sad good-bye
To lay my pen aside
With humility and pride
I’ve done my best
I’ve past the test
It’s time I put it to rest

“True love doesn’t have a happy ending
because true love never ends.
Letting go is one way of saying
I love you.”

Nothing lasts
Just memories of the past
Still hold on
Though all is gone
Nothing again
As time was then
Summers at the beach
No longer in reach
Holding hands
Footprints in the sand
Drive-in movies
Seldom see
Soda and popcorn
Tooting the horn
Music in the park
Till it turned dark
Never A hassle
Burgers at the castle
Dancing at the prom
You on my arm
Too beautiful to see
You belonged to me
But nothing last
Just memories of the past
Those moments of you and me
Times of our mortality
Nothing again
As time was then
Lovers sigh
Hopeless despair
Lovers cry
Eyes tear
Romance dies
No one wins
Unwanted goodbyes
Heartache begins
Open hearts
Tender kisses
Love departs
Forever misses
Wishing star
Dreams fade
Above par
Memories made
Feelings check
Emotions hide
Pleasures wreck
Cursed pride
Vain love
Forever lost
Finding dove
Whatever cost
Destiny never
Eternity alone
Solitude forever
Loneliness sown
Empty seasons
Silent melody
Never reason
No remedy
Time heals
Only those
Time steals
Fate chose
Destiny waits
Time flies
Despondent fate
Time lies
I tried to pretend
That our love would never end
No whispers No sounds
But the second time around
Never came around
No second chance
To renew a romance
Hope never satisfied
Disappointments abound
But the second time around
Never came around
I searched high
I searched low
Where ever I’d go
I thought our love would be found
But the second time around
Never came around
I knew
It was only you
That made my heart pound
But the second time around
Never came around
Did I not see?
Was it to be?
I though are love
Knew no bounds
But the second time around
Never came around♥
Being in love
Not knowing you’re in love
Never being in love before
Not knowing what’s in store
A heart in conflict
Love tugs
Love pulls
Love takes hold
Lets feelings unfold
Knowing I should stay
I chose to walk away
Spoken words never convey
What a song seems to say
Causing the heart to reminisce
First kiss
“So Much in Love”
The magic of a song
Has been for so long
A reminder for me
Of love gone wrong
In the summer of ’63♥
