Love and time- limited only by

their motivation and direction

 

Sadness is an emotional storms

reaction to rain only we see unending

as it reverberates inside our lives, minds

and we can’t honestly explain- anything

 

Is it really so terrible of me

to sit here nearly praying, selfishly

that there was really someone else

to blame- for your sudden leaving?

 

Memories- ought to be called cruelty

when they plague you like a disease

blocking the present and my reality

from making new moments or dreams

 

How was I to know- time was a lie- in truth

and we don’t have all we want or need?

How was I to know time would steal you away

when it ran shorter for you than does…for me?

poetofthelight5@gmail.com / I just hope to move your humanity and soul simultaneously, so that you'll notice long enough to ponder- love. I hope to steal not only your breath but your time in connection as mortal beings during limited time and vivid space. I'm a poetic writer, an aberrational one of sorts. I don't write for the world seeking conformity to a style or some label of free expression, I permit my heart to whisper what it feels like or needs to say, as I serve merely as its publisher. I'm honored my readers serve as its reading, feeling witnesses, and followers of each utterance. What you may infer from this site; my hearts process or what it has to say, is strictly up to you to decide for yourself. I do appreciate comments in whatever degree of appreciation or criticism others feel the need to leave behind. I hope to respond kindly and in kind to them with an honest "Thank you!" openly or in a private conversations should you choose reach out. Feel free to contact me if you so wish. poetofthelight5@gmail.com

    1. Thank you much for reading and commenting and yes, many memories do act in this way. For me, I think the cruelty aspect is predicated on the depth of love in which they were created…or in some cases, seared into our minds by devastation.
