ASYMMETRICAL LOVE
Why do you hold back?
Why can’t you go all the way?
“I love you” those are the words
That I want to hear you
say
Don’t be half hearted
I need you one hundred percent
I don’t want you to be unsure
I want you to be content
You have to be sure
and,
Content as I am in my choice
But you are, not are you?
I can hear it in your voice
You don’t feel the same as I
I don’t make your pulse race
Or your heart skip a beat
I’m right; I see it on your face
Love isn’t a one-way
street
It has to flow both
ways
But it isn’t flowing
to me
Not even on the best
of days
Then it’s over and done
I won’t have half measures
It has to be all or
nothing
Not just the pleasures
I need to be “the one”
I won’t be your second best
I won’t invest my love
With no prospect of
interest
It’s sad when love ends
And a couple have to part
But I only feel regret that
I never reached your heart
LEFT ALONE
Tears stung her eyes
And her voice cracked
As she remembered
Her loss hung heavy
Since he, what?
Even now she can’t say
it
Could not utter the
word
Euphemisms fill her
head
Crossed over, left this
world,
Gone to a better place
He’s in the next room
Passed away
Other people can say
dead
But she cannot
Seven years have
passed
Since it happened, her
loss
And she lost so much
A husband, lover,
friend
Partner, confident
Soul mate
And even now it hurts
Though the wound
Is an old one
It is still unhealed
Still vivid red, angry
Time is a great healer
They said to help her
To comfort her
But she thinks they
lied
REJUVENATED
Laughter rings now
In the once empty
caverns
Of my heart
Sweet wine now flows,
Replacing the bitter
brew
Which once coursed
Through narrowed veins
My senses, once dulled
by time
Now sharp, concise
Vision like a soaring eagle
Able to hear the beat
Of a hummingbirds wings
Nostrils filled with
exotic scent
Heady and cloying
Exquisite tastes
tantalize
An unsophisticated
palate
And the reason
For my transformation
My metamorphosis
Is an angel
Earthbound
Who has energized an
old man
Invigorated my senses
She has rejuvenated me
Stirred my soul
Though she will never
know,
Must never know
How she has affected
me
I will view her from a
distance
And exchange polite
greetings
A warm smile, a
familiar nod
I will keep my own
counsel
And I will feel
contentment
Though my love is
unrequited
