Essence of a Never-Lasting Reality

2011

I reflect upon a past that never existed
A plastic life that you never permitted
You and I in a meadow so green
Lost in a sugar-coated dream
Your mesmerizing smile takes my breath away
Your heart beats with me, here to stay
For a temporary or a forever bond
It doesn't even matter, for time has gone
Long ago, it died with all logic and reason
No room for order, too complex for seasons
I cannot conceal anymore
I cannot refrain anymore
I was never articulate with words
My rhymes may seem absurd
And though you may not think it's true
I'll just say it . . .
I love you, love you
But you're a DREAM, a false past!
Just like reality, our love will never last
Never last
For it NEVER came to pass
Never last, NEVER LAST
NOT TRUE, never true
But still . . . I love you

I do.

Another fine piece of work. Unrequited love. You lay this out so well and really bring deep feeling into it. Being in love is tough especially if it becomes one way. False love is worse. I feel for you in this one. I appears to come straight from the heart. Thanks for sharing. Your the best. ~Kilmer

Well I can tell you I don't think your rhymes are absurd. I like reading them! If I could only do something to cheer you up? :o)
