I love you, I said.
Always and all ways, I said.
It was lost on him.
It was not my loss.
Twas his, to keep or let go.
There was no limit.
The limit is his.
Limits on love, on kindness.
Limiting his world
To a dark, small space.
He thinks he’s safe, but demons
hide there too, waiting.
She thought she loved him
once. But with a wistful glance,
Saw only shadows.
Gray sky, rain drizzles
Grass turning burnt beige begs more.
Clouds watch, withholding .
Can she stop a wave?
He pondered, idly, her strength.
Then saw the tide turn.
I saw you today
Peering through the fence ‘tween us.
I can still see you.
Tide rolls in, then ebbs.
Feelings roll in, then are gone.
What’s left? Memories.
What of memories?
Do they make you smile, or weep?
They’re over, that’s all.
Shoots through timeless space
Leaves stars sparkling in it’s wake
The life force of love.
Oh, let me ride it
Through the nebula that glows
Seeking nirvana.
There is no before.
After is only a dream.
What is real? Just love.
Love brought us here then
Love brings us safely home now.
Trust, ’twas meant to be.

If I’d a penny
For every “I love you”
I’d weigh my tears.
If you were to ask
I’d say it was elusive.
Gossamer desire.
I held it once, close.
It thrilled me beyond reason.
I search for it, still.
