There was grey in my hair, when we met. <br />Young men or nor men -no longer catch <br />Their breath when passing. <br />Yet by happenstance we meet. <br />Laying bare heart and soul, <br />You seem to betray both. <br />I, being fully dressed in personal <br />Accomplishments, and I having <br />Been ill and frazzled by a disease <br />Had only love to ease. <br /> <br />And you “love “ quarreled <br />With me days and nights… <br />Monopolized my days and <br />Nightmares my nights; <br />Time and space defeated both. <br /> <br />I continue loving kindly and softly, <br />Even as a hail of words of your late wife’s <br />Feats troubled my heart to beat. <br />Favoring another can render me <br />Classless and defeated. <br />[but I create my <br /> Class and am not easy to defeat! ] <br /> <br />Enough, enough, enough: <br /> <br />“Come forth words” <br />I’m poetess enough to call muse: <br />Take my heart, break <br />It into small pieces, and <br />Cast them to the wind. <br />Bit by bit they crystallize <br />Shaped like a star <br />I’ll order to shine <br />Wherever you are. <br />I fret, tears fall <br />Now, you make sweet! <br />Your flower, and <br />Your angel when I die. <br />Love needs to be with you <br />Will you be with love? <br /> <br />Things seem to slip <br />Through hands and <br />Blend with winds. <br />When love comes <br />Try holding on…. <br /> <br />May 11,2006 <br /> <br />Almedia or ASK<br /><br />Almedia Knight Oliver<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-how-the-time-slips-away/
