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.

Now here I am stumped in a review, the words aint just perfect, but by the great late chairman of the board made it so perfect. I want to tip my hat to you sir, but I don't think there are enough hats in the world to make a proper tip to a true master of words.

Lovely poem, Tate. I guess we all have
an intense past love that still speaks to
us even if sometimes just in spirit.
Incredible expression.

Remains of romance of the life time gets engraved in your soul and like a wind remind you of the old times.
As I heard somewhere unfulfilled love is the most beautiful love and make us go back in time again and again.
