Nothing last forever

A rewrite

        Nothing last forever

I told you often, nothing last forever. The veil of love is dangerous, make us dance and sing in the rain than teach us love can slip away and leave us with emptiness.

 

Even the strongest love can weaken and be abandoned. The once great gestures of love, like the sweet kiss and the long embrace become shadows of tenderness. Cold and lonely heart denied the love was true and fall into self exiled.

 

But I forgot to tell you, shadow of faces and places where two lovers submerged in the safety of love is never forgotten. They are scars upon heart and mind, never forgotten.

 

Today you asked me where did the crazy man of yesterday disappear to? I told you, like all dreams they fade away to become distance memories. Old temptations and enticing kisses recede to hidden places and sweet private dreams and hope.

 

You shook me and told me. Yesterday was to educate us in turbulent emotion of love. If we don’t undress and collapse in the chaos of passion, if you don’t fall in the whirlwind of endless kisses and embrace. What have we done, what have we become?

 

I looked away from you and I whispered. I told you nothing last forever once, I did want to believe these words. I was wrong, I learn every touch and embrace become part of you, I learn you can’t cheat love and the karma of love is fair. Users and abusers will pay the keeper/caretaker of love and kindness.

 

I understand today. You were so beautiful, maybe too beautiful and I wanted you forever. You were my Winter love and I didn’t know in the Spring. We would partway and I would be left behind. My flesh remembered you and my heart and eyes want to escape your vision. I know when the love is dead, rarely can be revived.

 

You walked away from me and I make a desperation wish, please turn around and tell me you missed me and need me. You walked away and don’t look back. I learn love can live and die, I learn also. Love can’t be caged or held without true promise.

"shadow of faces and places where two lovers submerged in the safety of love is never forgotten. They are scars upon heart and mind, never forgotten." This is absolutely true, John. Those we have loved, even if they are long gone, are part of our history. The memories come to us at the most unexpected times and they are cherished always. No, love can't be caged. It has to be given freely. A bittersweet write here, John....so lovely. Lydi**

Thank you dear Lydia. Love dance, make us live and die in the same minute.

it runs its course John and often passionate young love burns out and leaves scars that never quite heal,
but we learn to love more slowly then , to enjoy the gentle flame and let the fire take its time to rise... then it will live for longer..

I agree Stella. To be young and fearless. A rare moment in a life.

My pastor used to say that love was like two hearts coming together. Those two hearts were like peices of wood being glued together in a strong bond. When they pried apart it splintered and left pieces of itself still glued to the others. And the more we pried apart with others, the more our hearts splintered until it was just chips of wood....
Love hurts sometimes...

I'm sad that you feel this way. I hope you are alright!

A old poem Sarah. Written in 1992. Love is hard to find. Need two people in the same place and wanting the same things. Does happen. Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

"I know when the love is dead, rarely can be revived."
"I learn love can live and die, I learn also. Love can’t be caged or held without true promise."

Whenever I say Just words it's just words but whenever you say it is like opening a door into your heart and seeing the world through your eyes, your hands, and hearing your innermost thoughts. Your writing I will always find myself coming back to and not some overrated poets schoolchildren do research papers about for ten generations.

Thank you Lavi. I appreciate your kind words dear friend.
