Left Wounded In Love's Only Garden


Pain and time remain exclusive bedfellows
Am I right?

Pain and Time

Awakening, crawling out only in darkness
While we, 'true love's wanderers', are found out alone and
Wanting - in night

Softly stabbing us, causing us all deep distress
Harming our senses
Our ability to show forgiveness

Ah, but these two are not my friends, no!
I'll have nothing more to do with either!

Won't be out there anymore . . .
Wounded in love in this, their vast malaise

( And when the summer's late afternoon sun does finally close
I shall be enfolded each day in all of my remaining yesterdays )

Some say we are all, from time to necessary time,
left out there - wandering in love's only garden

Bereft of warmth and inner beauty, filled with heartache and, for love's sake,
Left beyond any real and meaningful pardon

Oh, the pain!

Pain felt by those who're trying to reach out
Pain felt by us all
Pain in the common halls of love's sadness

Pain meant to lose enchantment
Enchantment meant to enthrall

Life hides us from the gentle glory of love
Am I right?

Still, may we remain always searching
May we highlight love's gifts

And may we always share with those others adrift,
Left wounded in Love's Only Garden

Life is to be lived indeed Tommy

Thumbs up, tazz. Thank ye, and, yes you're absolutely correct, " Life is . . . indeed. " You know, what I appreciate most about your comments, tazzops, is your clear, crisp angle on things. You always keep it real! It's no wonder you're so popular.

Thanks again.

I do not know about that Tommy. Your words are very appreciated, thank you sir.

Most respectfully, you're very welcome, tazz.

Thank you for bringing your words and thoughts, for us to read and enjoy. With honor back.

Awesome read,

Powerful words to express the pain felt by many adrift whose pain and sorrow remain their constant bedfellow.

Wounded? Let the healing begin, open your heart, take your power back, let love be yours again, to feel the warmth, the glow, the gift of loving another.

Might the wounds of lost love heal and gentle glory of new love be found in Love's Garden.

mo,

Well put. I'd say that about sums up the natural body of my piece. Thanks to both you - and tazz.

Be well. Stay safe there,
