Complexity.
Give and take.
Kept interesting and new.
Love and this relationship,
there's always more to do.
Perhaps we'll never get it right,
and although close, it's never clear,
and yet it's this opacity,
that makes it all so dear.
As we assess in golden years,
what has made our lives worthwhile,
what things recalled from among it all,
still make us want to smile,
Embracing things we know are real,
dismissing what was fake,
the jewel that rises from the ash
is love in the opaque.
Bravo bBerean!
Assuming you wrote that yourself?
"...the jewel that rises from the ash
is love in the opaque...."
Awesomely penned!
funny mood tonight........
Love once was clear
and you were perfect
back in the days we dated
The years flew by
and nothing changed
'til my glasses got updated!
Your thinning hair
uh oh double chin!
are things I would've hated
Your eyes don't shine
oh God--nose hairs!
never noticed those, oh no
And seriously
what's IS the deal
with your waistline, where'd it go?
Your once-clear skin
is mottled now
Your nose looks like a crow
Love's opaque
but my vision's not
But every now and then
It's okay my dear
I saved my old pair
of glasses, for when....
I'm up close to you
Now love's opaque
you're perfectly you again.
I love the direction this took you! Truth in the humor. I like it.
haha thanks.
Hey, I've been waiting soooo patiently for a hub from you. When are you gonna put me outta my misery?
Brenda,
Thank you for your interest. What I have in mind for HubPages, (when I do have time), is a certain progression. I want the reader to be able to clear the site, construct a foundation, and then build on it. You may already know, based on some info I have shared in the forums, why it is so slow coming. In the meantime, however, I have a song I wrote that I think you would like. I also have a couple things I've published elsewhere, that won't fit into that progression for awhile, but you may find interesting. Just let me know if you would like me to email any of that to you.
These are so cool ! I think I'll start another one !......:-D
Like the northern lights
love hides away in the glowing's of
star light
Like a night rain falling
unseen
unplanned
Until
unplanned
as if it waited until you needed
it most and lost
And only then to show itself
like the false dawn itself
and you awakening in
a smile
a knowing
it's here
it's here

Why do men hurt the person they love?
