A Legend in My Time

I might be just a lost soul if not for the life we share For all the times that I have failed it's as wonder that you still care

Rebecca and I

       

A special world are you and I

wrapping around us with its tune

A bond I feel but cannot see

giving heart to the soul love's tune

 

The fingers spread like fine-spun gold

a silken thread that holds us fast

Firmly tightened around our lives

showing the future not the past

 

When you awake in fear of new

know it be truth and not just lies

Hold tight to that which binds your heart

it is the might of love that ties

I'd be no more than a lost soul

if not for the life we two share

For all the times that I have failed

it's still a wonder why you care

You bring warm, sunshine to the rain

happiness, to daily strife

The giddy, chimes of childhood

the unending, light of my life

Author's Note

Rebecca has become such a part of me I can hardly tell where I end and she begins. I am eternally grateful and shall stay so as long as I walk this earth. Thankfully she doesn't look at my past failures as possible future ones. However I hold no delusions about my own misgivings. I tend to leave the house a wreck. I am not easy to get along with. I tend to think I am always right. That aside I have but one true redeeming characteristic,that of total unending devotion. May it prove to be enough to carry the day.

[Renée]

Beautiful Tate .. Rebecca is a lucky woman to be so adored by a man, who can express his love so well in words and devotion. Love is never about perfection is it..but about molding those imperfections into a long lasting rose.. Beautiful work ! ( :

"For all the times that I have failed it's still a wonder why you care"
I really love that piece, this poem is simply eloquent.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I had someone tell me last week that i am a confessional poet I had to laugh because i think i write as therapy and perhaps she is right

[Mockingbird]

it's nice to show your appreciation for the one you love in verse. nicely written.

[Tate Morgan]

thank you meredith I just thought it a nice thing to do

[zainul]

We learn from you Tate how to love and be loved.
I have rarely seen a faithful lover like you.
You never got tired to write tributes to your beautiful life partner.
The piece is a superb love poem.
It triumphs by its own merit and beauty.
LONG LIVE THE DIVINE LOVE OF REBECCA AND TATE!!!

[Tate Morgan]

I think monogamy was invented for men like me . It fits me like a glove i am eternally happy to love only one. Lust is what leads a man astray Not love I have gladly given that part of life the boot. At my age now no longer dominated by the thoughts of women I am able to say I finally rule my passions they no longer rule me and I like it Thank you

[zainul]

Yes,you have full control over your passions.
The world may love to its secret.
Once the secret is known to all,the cases of adultery,cheating and scandals would be diminished to the least level.

[Tate Morgan]

well that would b nice my advice to many is simple can you afford to lose everything you hold dear for a night of fun that means nothing

[zainul]

The unfortunate reality is that the lewd and adulteress don't care.
They consider one night of carousal and fun as the sweetest achievement.
And they also think good persons as fools!
However in the long run they are proved as the real fools.

[Tate Morgan]

What matters is that a man
Bear for her lifes burdens
Sooth the children of their tears
Be the rock all others break upon
leave fond memory of his years

[zainul]

Very well expressed,dear friend.
Thanks for such a great time.
May I now retire for bed?
This is now 01:22 in the morning at my place.

[Tate Morgan]

Good night friend

[zainul]

Good night,dear friend.:)

[Baker]

Absolutely lovely! I adore this love and dedication! An impression born on time and hearts forever. It could never be said that love was not felt here. How beautiful and delicate is your coin, both sides embossed with passion and dreams.My own husband was just this sweet as well .Such truth and soaring emotions.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you so nice to meet you May you find friends here amonst us all

[David Lewis Paget]

As always, Tate, it's the life of the heart that consumes your thoughts. Lucky is the man that has such a supportive wife. The mistakes and failures of the past should never intrude on a newer relationship, though occasionally they do. But with that in mind on a daily basis, the damage may be minimalized.
(4th verse, 'it's a wonder....'???)
