Tomorrows That Never Were

Sad is the tomorrows that never were
Of a love long ago that seemed so pure
To reach in the realm of what could have been
And wish with the silence those days again
When two hearts were broken from what's unknown
That stained our minds to entomb us alone
To picture caustic days timeless and old
When the beauty of love grew tired and cold
Warmly passionate with truest desires
To turn and leave such a sadness requires
That washes away with shadowed regrets
Sandcastles we built, memory begets

I wonder how in a marriage, long term, one could keep the passion ignited? Physical and internal. Surely this takes 'great' love, the strongest kind of love and understanding of each other, to keep the dream alive, inmates of love in such close quarters. Beautiful poem Parker. xx
