Time Ago

When a young man I so loved you With heart and soul both bold and true

When a young man I so loved you with heart and soul both bold yet true The fates have come between us both though my feelings still speak of you   This was a love without a ring instead kept by the heart and kiss That also didn't fall with time nor with the childish loss of bliss   When love is tethered to the heart possessed of happy devotion The passing years will never dull the height nor depth of that ocean   So it was as it should have been this love bound only in spirit Would not be shed of by the grave nor by those who failed to hear it

Author's Note

Life the timeless healer has once again conquered all. As what was once a torrid tempest has become a minute squall. The Light that burns twice as bright lasts half as long!

So profoundly beautiful, expressed through the misted windows of time. You create such a longing for what was.. a reflection of love and life gone before... There is a rich depth in your words that connect us with such emotion. Wonderful write...truly.

Great job, Tate, describing the power of time to heal wounds that lost love left. Beautiful, sir!

[Tate Morgan]

Thanks Christian we all have lost loves Hell in our youth we tend to cut a swath a mile wide In later years we look back and say what was I thinking lol

When we were young, we love carelessly, recklessly and without any regard to what others would say. Thank you for sharing this. it brought me back to memory lane.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Gabe we all need to remember those who made us feel special

[Muse]

This poem was short and sweet for you. Despite that being said, every word tasted pretty damn good. ;)

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Beth I think it speaks of us all at one time or two

Hi Tate.
I like this piece. I especially like the line " This was a love without a ring", A love that keeps 2 people together without the need for a formal convention as decided by a society has to be stronger.
Good one.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I will get with you on the other question soon

[Benita-Staebell M - Kin..]

"The passing years will never dull
the height nor depth of that ocean"

The vastness of spiritual emotions;
one that is deeply embedded in the heart lingerse,
though its yearning feels greater than that which was actually lived...
Beautiful write, Tate.
Thank you for sharing your heart~*
