084 – How do you?
How do you let go?
How do you remember to forget?
How do you reminisce and not know?
How do you restrain your feelings?
How do you inhibit your emotions?
How do you suppress what’s appealing?
How do you curb your devotion?
How do you continue to hold it all together?
How do you persist in your mime?
How do you endure when things don’t get better?
“How do you hold on to her and let her go at the same time?”
189 – What is There to Say?
The most important decisions in life
Are sometimes the hardest to make
You choose
You loose
You make
You break
But that’s the chance you take
Love’s decisions last for only a day
But the hurt never goes away
You sleep on it
You dine with it
You challenge it
You romance it
But you never get over it
What is there to say?
Sometimes what’s important
Never gets said
Sometimes the things that matter
Are difficult to express
You bind them
You struggle over them
You languish over them
You lament over them
Soon only to find them
Slipping away
With love there’s no exception
Pursue
Dismiss rejection
Words never spoken are words never heard
Let loose the feelings
Take a step above
For the heart can’t survive
A one-sided love
184 – Love’s Five Senses
As sweet fruit is to the tongue
Is the kiss on the lips
As perfume arouses the nose
Is the fragrance of the rose
As gentle to the ear
Is the knocking heart you hear
As the thrill of the touch
Is the embrace so much
As love enters the eye
Is the birth of a sigh
********************
A Drinking Song
“Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye:
That’s all we know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh”
W.B. Yeats
182 – A Lover’s Lament
No heart ever survived
A broken arrow
No heart ever revived
A fallen sparrow
You touched my soul
You took control
I let you in
You got under my skin
Hold me again
Like you remember when
No need to explain
Just cover my pain
It’s alright
To stay the night
There’s nothing left to say
Don’t wake me in the morning
Just touch me
And walk away♥
179 – It is You ( Eras Tu)
173 – Love’s photo
Love is a photo
Recorded for time
A secret place
Always there to remind
Kept in a wallet
Placed in a pocket
Close to the heart
Stored in a locket
Love’s painted picture
There to renew
Broken hearts
Telling you
Love’s smile
Love’s eyes
Love’s beauty
That never dies
Buried in a photo deep inside
A place where the heart
Goes to hide
timeless
Forever
A gentle place
Where lovers can meet face to face
008 – Moments of Memory
Moments of memory I have but a few
As time presses on my thoughts are on you
Though distance and time have kept us apart
Your youth and your beauty are still in my heart
Moments of memory cling to my being
In time and space it’s you that I’m seeing
Though destiny has left us forever no more
The dreams that I dream I keep them in store
Moments of memory alive in my heart
Visions of a love that will never depart
Secrets we shared are forever eternal
A diary of sorts
A true lover’s journal
Moments of memory keep me deep in sorrow
For days that I wish I could once again borrow
For some say, “Let the past be the past”
But my heart tells a different tale of one
That will last
Moments of memory grow dim as I write
Knowing that you are no longer in sight
Moments of memory that I choose to save
Will follow me forever to rest in my grave
043 – Eternal Love
I think about her in many ways
Memories left over from yesterdays
When everything was hers and mine
When love was our eternal valentine
I came alive when first we met
You woke up my silent heart
You took my dreams and made them real
I died the day we had to part
Now you are someone I’ll always love
Someone I share in my reverie
While I’ll go on without you
And this love may never come again
Nothing will ever be as it has been
For our love was meant for eternity.
.
171 – The Love of My Youth
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♥
