Truth bears the moments in time

Time is on our side

 

 

Truth bears the moments in time

 

 

Lost in the words I am reading

Pacing the floor as I go

Pointing a finger at distant endeavors

Faithfully wanting to show

 

Morals unfold the horizon

Thoughts of an endless abyss

Drain through the grate that will lead our temptation

Started with one single kiss

 

Years they have passed by so quickly

Love it was felt in our hearts

Still on this candle a flame it is burning

Even though miles we’re apart

 

Time is the ultimate keeper

Locked in its arms we now trace

Though if you look there is so much remaining

Waiting for us to embrace

 

Fate is the locket you’re wearing

There on your neck trimmed in gold

Open the door and you’ll see certain meanings

Stories about to be told

 

We had no map for this journey

Detours were scattered the way

Several wrong turns till the highway we’re driving

Brings us so close on this day

 

Tell me the truth, were you happy

For I can say I was not

Maybe these choices were made of our needing

Shadowing pasts we forgot

 

Why do we stand in the shadows

Longing for arms open wide

Tasks we have entered have not been completed

Truth bears the moments in time

 

Walls have been built in between us

Each day they fall but a few

Someday I know that the pathway will open

Allowing my love to walk through

 

I stand in this field of distraction

Answers they hover above

As I now reach for the perfect solution

I offer my heart filled with love

A jaunty rhythm in this love story that takes the reader on a journey of rediscovery or reigniting of a smouldering flame. One suggestion:
Detours have scattered the way

[Jack...]

Thanks so much John. I will consider your suggestion

[Emerald Seas]

Time marches on at its own pace and the path is not always apparent to us. Our understanding of why and when things happen is tested and patience tried in the waiting. Beautifully expressed sentiments, Jack. May each of us have that moment when the love carried within can be fully shared with those we hold dear to our hearts. Lovely poem!

Thank you so much Sera.

The promises love bring and the fact you want her to realize certain things of truth you are showing her but all the distractions she is having here and there are derailing your love...Well done and conveyed...:)
