love passes

[Rishi]

in time love passes
emotions fade cold deadened
self contained once more

[Angharad]

love may seem to pass
but there beneath the ashes
it awaits a spark

[metub4]

love ever present
sometimes seems to have escaped
always there somewhere

[metub4]

love passes quickly
without concerted effort
to work well as one

[Angharad]

eternal battle
body and soul in conflict
now versus later

the body needs love
physical, comforting, real
acknowledging death

the soul authors love
pure, unfettered by the flesh
infinite, deathless

when the body dies
physical love passes on...
so the flesh cries, "now!"

"if not now, later"
whispers the immortal soul
there is no hurry

[realteal]

old love, slumbering,
softly blanketed by new,
startles awake now.

[Angharad]

pain passes away
fear fades to a memory
only you remain

[Drew Francis]

freight train barreling
through memories of her smile
to the crooked end

[Angharad]

Oh, Drew...

baleful clouds scudding
summer rain on black lashes
your smile lights the dark

[Liz]

embittered you are
move past the pain reunite
with me forgiven

[Drew Francis]

folded bathrobe sits
forgetting once long ago
dust dulls feeling blue

[Angharad]

the train roars past me...

on it go my heart and soul

with no backward glance

 

[metub4]

steam on brave trav'ler

horizon beckons seekers

answers to appease
