Poem: If We Must Leave

Blogoratti July 09, 2015

Quote of the day:

 The past screams louder than the future. The future is mute, but it’s not deaf.  -Jarod Kintz

image: artlimited


I sealed love in an envelop.
And dreams in a bottle thrown out to sea.
If it reaches you then we can envisage to elope.
Go secretly and whisper not to evident trees.


I buried my feelings underneath the frail earth.
And when I returned it was gone.
Like the rising sun missing at dawn.
All that was left was your scented chiffon.


I slept but my heart was wide awake.
To work, to tend, to  heal, to reveal.
Secrets do not have to be unmasked.
Unseal the tempestuous past, leave the future sealed.

Peace & Love*

    There is a nice magic in this - a learning to let go of love and realizing it is free - and a blessing when we get it. When we try to control love, we kill it. Sometimes it leaves us only remnants.

    X: I agree that love is a blessing -when we get it, we often lose it when we don't pay attention or try to control it. Great thoughts, I appreciate your warm comment and nice of you to drop by!

    I'm not a great one for poetry, though I do like some and applaud the talent people have for it. Hmm - the nice idea about leaving the future sealed - could just as easily apply to the past? Loved your post about beards - very amusing; mine comes and goes. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a kind comment - much appreciated!
