and for me….
what makes old love so wonderful 
is….
how sometimes it’s as young as it used to be.

holding back the tears

reading an old love letter

it made me smile then

perhaps i should wait longer

they say that "time heals all wounds"......

looking at the deep water
old love behind me
new life on the other side

As long as the ashes of our old dying romance burn,
I keep inhaling what is left of what it is I yearn.
As long as he is still around, there is still more from him to learn....

Old
worn clothes,
same old love,
in solitude.
Time to go home for family supper.
Those days were joyful. never forgotten.
Time passes on,
same true love,
New car,
Clothes.

my old love nears
heartbeat skips then thumps
crinkled brow leaks 

shadows slithering
here, there, nowhere 
eyes unblinking 

eardrums pulsing
from darkness, whispers tumble 
'come, hurry to me'...

Above all comes sorrow,
burning old love letters
in ashes of time's arrow.
Above all comes sorrow,
how I was strait and narrow
and listened to my elders.
Above all comes sorrow,
burning old love letters....

Tears on the wind
Crying in rain
Memories hurt
Sadness again

Smiling in sun
Laughter reborn
Healing from hurt
No time to mourn

Old love expired
New love required

Young love lives
Old love dies
New feelings hide
Wonder now why

Pondering love
Question why
Love could buy
A brand new guy

Your love I still crave
Our past forgave
Swept beneath the rug
Stupid stupid love...

Our night, our walk, our song,
Our words, our voices talking all night long.
Into the next day we stayed - then sweet rain came.
Until the end of time we lovingly remain.

I thought I felt your touch on me again 
The ghost of distant memories returned
Returned to look me in the eyes and prove
That I'll never really be over you 
And with the shock the phantom touch brought me
Arrived the frost a lonely heart runs from...

reading 
old love letters 
from a past he cannot
recall and she sorrows feeling
the loss

of love
and certain death
coming quickly for him,
quietly overcome with grief
she flees.

On the mountain looking down
from the highest peak,
my old love and I held hands.
No words did we speak.
Murmur of a stream
was the serenade we heard -
youth’s sweet tranquil dream.

The flames of the fire of our love
may have abated and subsided
but its embers still menacingly glow
and from time to time it's re-ignited
searing through us like lava's hot flow
until by joy fulfilled and delighted
it flickers, returning, mellowing slow,
into its normal pedestrian groove....

repost inspired by Laura's contest

we painted rainbows
you and I,
'cross our golden sky;
one by one the years
rolled away,
but a vow,once made,
still lives on,
brightly,as before;
this pot of treasure
worth much more than gold;
riches,untold
to sustain us,as
we grow old;
this love,grows not cold...

She stands beside me,
one foot in Heaven,
one foot rooted firmly,
on this sullen Earth,

and between we two,
all that has ever been,
all I ever long to see,
all that is or could be,

appears on Her face
when She smiles at me,
and holds my coat sleeve,
to steady our footsteps....

I read him my poems and he said, Oh I feel so sorry for you.
Had I read him a newspaper, would he still have felt sorry?
To read him a novel of mine, would have been too long 
and would he have lost interest by now? 
But I read him some old love letters, 
now, he is really sorry for me....

You are miles from me as I write this...
And, it is difficult to say how much you are missed...
I sense a presence beside me all day long
Whispering comforts when everything seems wrong...
Looking up at the stars, moonlit sky gets me wishing you were here... 
All I ask, my love, of you...
Is to remain to our love, true.......
