My partner and lover
My significant other
My best friend and gal
My confidante and pal
The love of my life
Happily, you’re my wife

EVERYTHING BUT A POSSESSION TO ME
Friday, 21 April 2023
THE “LOVE” WORD
Love,
Is just a word
Such a small word
Often misused
A throw away word
Used as a panacea
To paper over the cracks
Tell someone “I love you”
And everything is expected
To be forgiven
But love
Is too small a word
For what I feel
Far too small
For what I want to express
As the love I feel
Is immeasurable, infinite
In its depth, its quality
It’s all encompassing nature
It colours everything
All I say, all I do
Yet to express my feelings
All I can say is
“I love you”
It’s just so inadequate.
For what I want to express
My need for you
Of never being parted
from you
To be joined forever
In every way
But I don’t have the word
To articulate it
I don’t have the vocabulary
I just have
Love
INSEPARABLE ONCE # 1
We were once inseparable
Soul mates incarnate
Held by an eternal bond
As strong as tungsten
Yet soft as pure silk
I thought our union
Would last for ever
Even to the end of eternity
But the bonds that held us
Have disappeared
Like tears in the rain
We had it all, in our grasp
We could see it, feel it, touch it
Something steadfast and solid
Reassuring and comforting
A constant, a given
Something infinite and immeasurable
We had it all in our hands
A living breathing thing
That we gave life
Our own creation, our new entity
But we let it escape from our grasp
Slowly slipping through our fingers
Though we tried to recapture it
It was illusive, like trying to net smoke
It evaded our efforts
So now it's gone, and nothing remains,
Of that entity that was us
Nothing tangible, nothing physical
Only memories remain
INSEPARABLE ONCE # 2
We were once inseparable
Tied with the bonds of love
But when the day came
When bonds become restraints
Love melted into the ether
And the ties that bound
Turned inexorably to dust
