Love and Truth

Buried once

And years flew by

No feelings

Found

On barren ground

Then you walked by

And caught my eye

With a tender smile

Sat awhile

And so it began

An affair

We did not care

All we had we share

And you would stare

With eyes that stripped

Me Bare

Both said love

But words

Don’t care

Easy come

And tossed aside

Love was for you

But you were not for love

Just summer laughs

And sun

No harm was meant

Just fun to be had

And be glad

But autumn’s here

Move on

Move anywhere

Door closed

Bye now

But why now

And that was it

Nothing

Emptiness

Now lay down

Alone

Love’s magic glove

No longer fits

Dumped

Slumped

On life’s canvas lay

Here to stay

The end is quiet

Was a fast knock

The last knock

Hardest knock of all

Cannot get up

Tried

Did

Cried

Did

Lied did

Though always true

To you

Time passes

Slowly

Crawling

In darkness

Time and time and time

The why’s

And why’s

And why’s

An empty church

To go

To grow

Simple thoughts

Quiet thoughts

Good thoughts

Of other’s plight

This heavy heart a light affair

Sitting on this wooden chair

Darkness falls

And within it’s halls

A candle flickers

All ends hurt

All hurt ends

This was known

But questions never answered

Leaves a hole too deep

This place the answers seep

And in time

It would stay

And easy say love you

Only the brave and true

Can look you in the eyes

And say don’t

And in that old church

A truth was learnt

So hold it dear

For it is clear

Only truth holds love

And love holds truth

And if it’s true,

It will not bend or break

So understand

And smile

Move on …
