Life and Love

LIFE AND LOVE

What is life?
But a multitude of journeys
Exciting adventures with friends & lovers
Intense emotions, needs & wants
At times returned just as intensely
And sometimes unreachable
Blocks in the way
Of our own doing, states of confusion
An urgency, crying out, that connection
Holding on tight, not giving up
To let go or not, oh to let go or not?
The loss would be great
The understanding is deep
To disappear from my life
The devastation, nothing but memories?
Unable to function with day to day tasks!
The healing of souls cannot be replaced by others
That special bond will not be broken
By the ones who still care
Don’t shut me out, distance too great
We had beauty & joy & it was lost
Replaced by heartbreak
Believe in me as I believed in you
We can be on a path of discovery
Music & poetry, the creativity soars
The love of friendships welcoming
The affection & warmth comes from the heart
The door is open, will never be shut
Happiness is just out of reach
But there waiting, ready to grasp
The need to be nurchured
The need to be cared for
The need to be loved & held
The look, searching, is he still watching?
Want to see you & hold you
When songs bring back memories
Difficulty finding clarity
In such an emotional state
Strangers always out there
When our souls are lonely
Providing an ear & some comfort
After the disappointment
Sands of love are falling
All upon me now & forever
With a deep true love I will never forget
Time will pass but it will never fade
There will be a hole & a sadness
Much soul searching deep within
Love that lives forever in all of us
Love that will never fade no matter
What or who invades our hearts
Love everlasting to eternity
Love that’s alive & keeps us going
Love incredibly strong, love you always!
