Why and Because

Looking back at the time 
the love that was
That certain beauty
the why and the because
The look of the eye's
made by God
Part of the answer
the why and because
The hair situated for applause
another of my reasons
the why and because
The magnetism of eye's that awe
that bothersome stare
the why and because
The preciousness of secret desire
not of lust but loves special power
The presence of dreams both day and night
The eye's definition of the gift of sight
My thoughts of her speaking if she might
and my idiotic response my sovereign right
Guarding my feelings with unwritten laws
another form of suffering
my why and because

Memories of the past are so sweet and they make the present so much nicer. But it is important not to dwell on what was and to enjoy what is now. Often the past is what the present grows from so we must be careful to tend the garden of the present so that in future we can remember with fondness. A beautiful write my friend. Bravo. God Bless, JB

Love the refrain, John…that is often key to a good poem! The beauty, the passion, the guarded feelings, suffering…
