If I Had Known: Love's Memories
The Ticking of Time: The Inspiration for this Poem
Even though this is a love poem it was inspired by a time quote that I wrote as part of a collection of inspirational quotes for 2010. The quote read: If I had known, that one day you would be gone, I would have savored every moment I had with you. The line kept playing around in my head and the end result was this short sad love poem titled, "If I Had Known: Love's Memories." The poem speaks of lost love, regrets and the importance of valuing memories and time spent with those that we cherish. While it speaks of romantic love it can also be applied to love in general and for me it also applies to the loved ones lost through death. We never miss the water until our well runs dry. This year make sure you spend time with your loved ones and build memories that you can cherish.
If I Had Known: Love's Memories
(A Short Sad Love Poem by Injete Chesoni)
If I had known that one day you would be gone,
I would have savored every moment spent in your arms.
I would have treasured every second of time spent with you,
To remind me that once upon a time our love was true.
I would have frozen every moment when your eyes met mine,
I would have captured every caress, in the hourglass of time.
I would have stocked up on memories for that future day,
When you would be gone to shores far away.
But while we were together I was deceived,
That love was forever and not a passing breeze.
