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.

Sigh... Tate this is beautifully written and expressed. You have really out done yourself with this one and the emotion is so realistic - I loved it!

Tate, this is a sweet, sentimental write. I'm not sure I would have coupled it with Sinatra, but then I'm not a man....but I love the writing and the depth of feeling evident in this one.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I am so glad you liked it

Maybe now a "minute squall" Tate, but always there churning in the heart.. its both the what was but also the what ifs... you express this beautifully Tate..

Thanks Red we all have our secrets and desires I guess as well as our mistakes and regrets

[redzone]

Know this only too well Tate.. she was also a red head and I promised to always write her poetry.. meant both literally as well as metaphorically... I broke her heart Tate and she still breaks a small part of mine...

[Tate Morgan]

I have always had a special affinity for the red heads I dont know if it is their rarity or their beauty

[LadyNaida]

Wow! This piece is beautiful! If only everyone loved this way. This world would be a better place.

[Siddhartha]

You almost always make the heart beat with frenzy...this poem is no different...Talks about a love that could not be and does that with a feeling that is raw and visceral and which only seems to have grown more painful with time...

[G. K. Bostic]

Such a love, a gift beyond measure.....beautifully done!
