Time will tell...

The continuation from the poem, What would you do for a friend? I promised a friend I would continue the tale and here is part 2. :)

Your breath...

 

Warm in my hair

 

Your hand...

 

Resting upon mine

 

Your arm...

 

Unwilling to release

 

Your passion...

 

Exhausting our desires

 

Your heart...

 

To another it clutches

 

Your memories...

 

Dwell on past love

 

Your eyes...

 

Beginning to see reality

 

My love...

 

Laid bare before you

 

Your love...

 

Frightened to try again

 

My hope...

 

Patiently waits

 

My eyes...

 

See a chance remote

 

Time will tell...

 

Which way the heart turns

 

My hands...

 

Will let you go

 

My heart...

 

Will wait

Reviews

[Leo Gems]

This is an amazing piece. The realization that someone you love is emotionally stuck in the past even when they are here physically in present. The power of love keeping fueling your strength to wait it out and see if the one you love will leave the past and join you in the present with their heart, mind, body and soul.

Beautifully loving and hopeful ink!

Absolutely beautiful. A definite pleasure to read this poem.

[Barbara Walker]

This is a fairly short poem, that says so very much! Your love for him, his for another, but possibly that will finally be in the past, time will tell. You being willing to let go physically, if you must, but your heart remains, to see what time will tell. That road takes time to travel on, doesn't it? We each have our own and hopefully, they intersect with those we love! Great write!

[Shadows of Sight]

Ooooo. I like the picture coupled with you poem! The words give a feeling of tumbling down a set of stairs that have a sad tone to them. But with the picture coupled with it. I trancends to bring the image of a persons soul falling from the heavens to earth waiting to return of the great lord.

Nice work!

This is truly moving...waiting for the One - while the other seems to dream of another...really well captured essence of so many relationships. Thank you.
