Sailing Through Time

Sometimes We have to move on

 and leave the past behind

Sometimes We lose enchantment 

of all that's  beautiful and bright.

Sometimes We have to sail away

 from those We  dearly love

leaving pebbled  Shores

fly over as a  dove

Forgetting the Yesterday 

 and starting  anew

Searching  for the Sun

sinking our blue 

Saying goodbye 

be without you

If days turn cold and grey

If nights turn rough and wild

I've gotta keep on waters

and learn to make it through.

Going to the attic

finding  that wooden chest

lying in abandoment 

of cobwebbed nostalgia

still holding to a verse

a  love letter never sent 

and  many unsaid words

Going to the moments 

when churning butterflies 

fluttered in my heart

Moments when two flowers 

 vowed not to be apart

Moments when you looked into my eyes 

and  believed in us to be

Moments we lived for just a shadow 

of each other's destiny

Moments when Our voices

hushed and whispered  with much love

Moments when i searched 

the empty universe

and you where the star above

Wishing to turn back time

 to the only place you are 

whilst i remove my anchor

i keep sailing very far

This is not a poem

and this is not  romance

this is a verse of heartbeats

and hundred untold words.

This is not passion

its pain ending your name

knowing through my journey

nothing will be the same

You are that  special snapsot

the portrait  in my life

the photograph still hanging

which keeps the past alive.


Charma

                                                                                         
                                                                                      always,
                                                                                          Charma

Wonderful words as always ...written so beautifully ...I can only be in the Present right now and will try to remain there forever ... as the Past holds memories and the Future uncertain...only this Present has meaning for me tonight..luv.. Linda-Marie..

Wow ! A read I did not expect ! "What God has sown together, let no man tear apart" ! And the love was ment eternal, and forgiveness is devine ! And past your youth, into true womanhood, you shall relish the days in which you did forgive ! And still have your true love ! And all of the memorries ! And if you and your loves sinues are intact....God bless you Charmaine ! james

a picture is a thousand words, but they don't want o tell of the thousand emotions that they could bring too.
