There Is No Other

Trinkets of touch saved for memories keeping Traces of love we now lock in our hearts Days never end as the mornings beginning Tears find their path in our moments apart ~ Catching a glimpse of the barren horizon Wondering what it will bring to our eyes Simply the thought of the one true affection Caught in the stars that do light up the skies ~ Here as I sit on this beach ever changing Lost in the mind is the essence of proof Moving my feet, causing ruts in the sand floor Noticing nothing aside from the truth ~ Why does it seem that this life wallows empty Every day is the same only more Swiftly the clouds bring the rain’s chilly vision Dreaming of only the one I adore ~ Drinking the drops in the puddles of reason Splashing against all that I’ve ever known Capturing dreams in a spoon that is leaking Now as I write in these words all alone ~ Hard to believe that a flower is blooming Fragrance as sweet as the heart beat we share Chains bear the lock that does keep me from reaching Look but don’t touch is the warning...beware ~ I long to run down the path of decision Challenge my fear in this soft ocean breeze Finding a cave at the edge of the mountain Placing my soul in the shadows to breathe ~ Only my heart keeps me here by the wayside Hoping beyond every truth that does form Lasting the pain of this fearless affection Keeping my place in the face of the storm ~ Proving to no one’s un-answering questions Feeling ashamed as I’ve nothing to show Still I will wait on the eve of my lifetime Promising always that I’ll love you so ~ For I am a man who does desperately need you There is no other that I’m thinking of Here I will sit as the world it is ending Counting the days till I know your sweet love ~ Why can’t we meet at the same destination Drink of the day that affords us the view Forget the world and its many distractions Except for this love that I hold here for you ~ Have a great weekend everyone, see you on Monday.

Why indeed does it sees that life wallows empty...Your verse makes me ponder.Drinking the drops in the puddles of reason....Not easy manytimes...Asking why alone...why the routine..Why far.from joy..in this case from this one you love affecttionately.and towards the.end...how deep is the.yearning...the wanton feeling..How.wonderful it is when we are not scared.to write out all our emotions and love.To forget the world is a great escape.Everybody years.for that escape at.times...Am touched.A fave.

I'm overcome with emotion when I read this tender poem... and thinking, what woman would not wish for this to be written for her ... this is stunning. Saving this one to my favorites, my friend.
