Lovein Time



Love in Time
Shining stars guide a love in time all the while the pendulum swings.
Love does bloom with the melting of snow within an early spring.
Lion cubs frolic upon the ground while birds fly and robins sing.
Man will test as women will choose just what their marriage will bring.

While the gambler of love has nothing to lose as he offers her a ring,
So the gift of time within a heart can be the greatest of all things.
While the lining stars eclipse the sun and straddle a bright full moon,
A heart in love must flourish in life as violinist must play a tune.

When an open heart listens to a precious love still needing to be won,
It feels no different than a mother's eternal love for a newborn son.
The bond between husband and wife is faith that endures for true love's sake;
So line your stars in a love of time, as dreams you begin to make.

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
