Your love held me captive
At times when I wanted to escape
Spread my wings and fly away
You held me close and loved me
When I shed tears
Your eyes shed silent tears
Merging with mine
I never doubted your love
When I couldn’t love myself
We said our vows
I gave myself to you
You gave your heart to me
And after all these years
Our fights and tears and joy and pain
I love you
And hope you still
Love me too

Marking Time
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Symbol.”
Ticking away
The time of our lives
The hands of a watch
March on
Instant Remorse
I
Blurted
All the words
I wanted to say
And as quickly felt
Instant remorse
But by then
It was too
Late
Open Road
I loved you
With the whole of me
And now
I set you free
Reflections
Partial reflections
Glimmer in the evening sky –
Yellow against blue
Blush
Dripping like jewels
From life-giving arteries
Ripe red cherries blush
Feather in the Wind
You were taken from me
Suddenly
One moment you were in my life
And the next
You were gone
Leaving me to cherish each dream
When I see you again
Always reaching
Never quite touching
At night when I’m alone
I can hear your voice
I can feel your spirit
And know that you are near
You are alive
For a moment
And then you are gone
Carried away
Like a light
Feather
In the wind
Notes
Music so sweet unto
My soul, all cares
Melt when notes
Wash over
Me
Unspoken
You looked over
Lingering just a few moments
Too long
Your eyes
Meeting
Catching
Playing
Imagining
I cannot read your mind
But your eyes
Speak for you

Sunshiney yellow
Assembled door of Lego –
