If We Live and Love, We Want Not To Say Goodbye

If We Live And Love, We Want Not To Say Goodbye I have spilt, red-blood and wet tears upon these pages echoed wisdom first given by ancient sages. Time is a harsh mistress, destined to run away while mankind's greatest desire is for her to stay. Noting we are no more than mere blink of the eye if we live and love, we want not, to say goodbye. Yet that departure, is one we can never miss life is so fleeting, so much like a stolen kiss! Time, your immense powers, I will righteously fight for the joys of living are my one true birthright. As a poet, these words are sent to one and all I shall fight Time's death-spell, with all my wherewithal. Although this saddened heart knows this fight will be lost. To write another day, I fight at any cost. Robert J. Lindley, 5-01-2018 Sonnet, ( The Darkness We Face)
