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.
