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

MY PRECIOUS BOOK OF DREAMS

 

You only exist

In my precious book of dreams

But you seem so real

YOU ARE DIVINELY DESIGNED

 

You are a beauty

And are divinely designed

But out of my reach

MY HEARTS PROTECTOR

 

My hearts protector

A guardian fierce and true

And love of my life

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

IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME?

 

The years are passing me by
And another relationship has failed
What is wrong with me?
Why has this love affair derailed?

 

Why can I not hold onto love?
What kind of signal do I transmit?
What makes me so difficult to love?
Why can I not put my finger on it

 

So, I must move onto pastures new
Looking for the most elusive pray
Wishing for better luck this time

And that I will strike gold one day

 

Surely it is not too much to ask
That my love be returned in kind
But I won’t give up the search
I’ll keep looking and see what I find

 

I just have to keep believing
Keep the faith and I will soon see
The next one that I can love
And hope that they will love me
