Love Answers
Am I ok to be dull,
Is it fine to be without
YOU AND STILL SHINE.?
Will I be a joyful
memory in your mind.
I asked:
TRUE LOVE SAYS IT'S
okay to be happy
apart from me.
Never replace my
joyous gift with grief.
In the spaces or gaps.
Your light should
fill- in, removing,sadness,
with a "well lived life".
He expressed:
Be happy ,with me-
or apart from me;
Love wouldn't have it
ANY-OTHER WAY.
He reiterated:
What's Understood;
needs no explanation
He said:
What kind of man would I be,
IF I REJOICED IN YOUR
MISSING ME.
KNOWING,that
I may never return.
He spoke again:
You have taught me that happiness
and all of it's glory will never die.
And sadness lingers on for ever.
Said I:
Away from you by
death or by distance.
Will still leave me responsible
for your smile.
From the brightness of your smile;
Everyone will be aware, that it be I
who put it there-
Even after years have passed
You with your new love,
Alas !
It would be me that left you
"Glowing"
He reported:
All the records will be
set straight and show,
That I was the man
"who brought out the best in you-
made joy in the depths of you".
He chanted:
I then realized my joy could never
subcomb to sadness again;
Neither to death- nor poverty -
not time- nor distance.
So I will rejoice when you come,
I'll live off the memories
your endless joy has brung.
So until you come again,
I will smile and illuminate
the days so brightly.
So bright... that even the next man
will praise your ways
and ask me to share the secret of your magic
I shall live in memories of happy days;
In the cheerful thoughts of men.
Final # episode of love
