Tangled Vines

There is a tangled vine, that grows It grows between the centuries Two centuries old, it can't be seen Between us now, it has a hold on me, and all my reasoning Defying time that lies between us I've read each word between the lines The words you wrote have landed here Bringing with them all the years I can feel you standing here with me Words can do that, I can see you! They capture me within my soul,...I know of love, I know,... I know... The love I feel, a tangled vine That grows between your earth and mine This was your world...I've made it mine... Though we may speak with different tongues... Some things are timeless, from the start I know of love,..... I know, I know Your words have caught me in my throat.... A vine of loneliness imparts And tendrils of my own, my heart Reach out to tell you so.... I feel the pull so deep inside How strange and crazy, this may be I know of love.........I know..... I know somewhere, away from here Somewhere deep on different shores Our stars are meant to cross again I know of love............I know I feel your presence here with me It matters not the century A tangled vine was sent for me To cling, until my eyes can see you reaching out for me There is a tangled vine, that grows between Two centuries old, it can't be seen Between us now, it has a hold that defies all lucid reasoning ________________________________________________ Inspired by Constance La France's Contest: Tangled Vines Submitted once again for Skat's Contest "Old Love Poem" 11/9/15
