The days fly by,
Like seasons do;
I’m forgotten;
But alive, too.
Few days are good;
Most still are bad;
Some hours bring smiles;
Most keep me sad.
As the days go,
I let them, one
By one, and blur
The moon and the sun.
I put on smiles,
As night takes day;
And like the night,
They do not stay.
So I live them,
Like pills and sleep,
Like dreams I dream;
But cannot keep.
In your eyes, I spied something new:
A feeling I had left for dead:
It was something all of time slew,
Deceiving the heart with the head.
Love expands to take in all:
Family, lover and friend
I cannot help but quietly fall
Into light that seems to never end.
That seems to never end is true –
For seeming is just what it gives…
And its brilliant, shiny hue
All confidence in love forgives.
What allure the beginning brings
Influences feelings for you –
Leads me to meet forgotten things
Which cynical time made to rue.
I cannot think of reasons why
I must look the other way;
Though I know, it is vain to try
To make this unsullied light stay.
I tried so many times before,
With so many who were my past,
Love burst with a frenzied furor;
But that light did not seem to last.
Maybe love is such that but seems,
Coming to me in flimsy dreams;
And all it leaves behind
Is permanence one cannot find.
I will still hold all of love’s hands
Even though this heart is in the know
Even though with knowledge understands
That, in time, they will all let go.
Hearts Still Care
