Quest

What can I do,
but fall down and weep,
when the days grow cold
and you are not here.

Reaching out to hold you;
only to embrace warm air,
saturated by your scent,
as you walked by me
a moment ago.

          When will the fairy tale
          live as foretold?


I seek only to love you,
not to clutch or control,
but to give you the freedom
of a passionate heart;
alive -
open to all possibilities.

This is beautiful, Jonas.  It is sad and frustrating when the fairy tale doesn't turn out as we want it to, but a passionate heart will always find it has grown from having loved, and it will have a little more to give the next time.  May your dreams come true.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Jonas; You have written a hauntingly lovely poem of unrequited love, she obviously doesn't deserve you! Wait for someone who does, she's right around the corner! Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Jonas,
  Bittersweet and sad...It's too bad that fairy tales don't come true as often as they should...I wish you the best of luck.

P.S.  Your picture looks familar...Would we by chance know each other?  

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Thank you all! Actually, this is just a passing moment in my life. In reality, I am very happy with the one I love.
