Love for another mile

I came here alone
Walked twice across this earth
Saw sights and peoples
All after my humble birth

I tried to learn all I could
Kept my eyes wide
Saw good and bad
From challenge I did not hide

I met another traveller
Hands held, minds meld
Saw life and love
Heart thawed, emotions melt

I was happy to my core
Years passed no need for any more
Saw no end
Then it ended. Pain endure

I was all alone
Delivered to my true state
Saw no hope, no other
No love, no partner, no mate

I feel need now
Some time later see a smile
See joy, happiness
A hand to hold for a while
A love to endure for another mile

Ordeal

Rolling waves crash over my love
Taking us off our feet and to our knees
Our path doused and no longer clear
Unable to be guided by what we see

Our hearts in cycle, waltzing through life
Heading for embrace, pirouette, and kiss
Now pulled into the sea, disrupted,
Drowning for lack of horizon, no near miss

Hand slips from hand, bonds break
Ties pull taut, are strained then snap
What is this ordeal? why allow this pain?
Doing the right thing? Whatever, no going back

A Place for my Heart

A Place for the Heart
Where will my love reside
Now that my house is not my home?
Feelings, emotions I have to hide
Now that my eye has had to roam
Turned away by long term spouse
My path has changed and had to restart
Need to reset, rebuild my house
And find a new place for my heart
With children around me, so much to do
Find and furnish, rebuild and rebase
A quest for love I have to see through
New goals, new possibilities, a new place
A place that fits like a glove,
A place no longer apart,
A place for all my love,
A place for my heart

Love your life

Blank page, clean slate
It’s up to you what you make
Curves or a straight line
Paint fast or take your time
Draw an expansive landscape
Sketch a fantasy portrait
Use colours bright or grey
It’s your decision every day
Make of this new start
A desire from the heart
Of this new page
A happier new stage
No matter what you do
Make sure the work, works for you
