Notes About The Poem

I Think of You

I Think OF YOU

Ticking grand-father and grand-mother clocks
Are we facing each other in gilded frames of the
Timeless, ticking with ages movements slowly down,
Yet resetting each other with the golden keys of
Loves unyielding devotion.
Swinging pendulums swaying back and forth,
Through heart sick emotions tender years,
The raising of the minute hands slipping ideally
By us, our easy chairs, turn into the rock of ages.
I think of you with every finite grain of sand,
That trickles within the shimmering hour glass
Of the infinite.

Transcending spiritual beings of twin souls united,
Drawn together within passions spiral flame of
Youth, discovery this world of wonder between
Silken sheets of lost innocence, then emerging
As loves sacred doves to soar amongst the clouds.
I think of you with every finite grain of sand,
That trickles within the shimmering hour glass
Of the infinite.

Pages ever turn, within the photo album of our
Lives, black and white, unto color images, now
Digital picks, but know wrinkles charm can touch
Neither your ageless face, nor the sparkle left in your eyes,
As you look upon me through these shinning frozen
Moments of remembrance.
I think of you with every finite grain of sand,
That trickles within the shimmering hour glass
Of the infinite.

In the tears of our golden years, we’ve shed an
Ocean together. Sailed within the sheltering harbor
Of vows promise, two sails bending yielding unto
The seas of destiny, you the captain steering the
Course, and I the first mate calming the rough
Waters of life.
Landing on the same beach, willing hands intertwined,
Leaving one set of footprints on the shore, for we
Carried one another every step of the way, did
These united spirits so travel.
I think of you with every finite grain of sand,
That trickles within the shimmering hour glass
Of the infinite.

Ticking grand-father and grand-mother clocks
Are we facing each other in gilded frames of the
Timeless, ticking with ages movements slowly down,
Yet resetting each other with the golden keys of
Loves unyielding devotion.
