Love Me Today

Love me today
As the wings of yesterday grazing our lips flutter into the past
Captivating the dreams we once held so close
Transforming them into shadows that fill our nights with constant mocking

Love me today
While the pleasures of the present engulf us
Seizing our souls from within
Materializing them into a tangible, caressable form

Love me today
As the mysteries of tomorrow confound you and I
Evaporating the ideas and fantasies we have incorporated into ourselves
Naively believing the future holds something special for us

Love me today
Two specks of sand making their final decent through the hourglass of time
Rubbing their textured bodies against each other
Reflecting on the way things used to be

Love me today
Before the seal between our lips collapses
Awakening me and I am forced to say no
Just love me, while you still have the change

As you well know I have always admired and embraced your poetry!  I am so glad you finally got up the courage to post, and see that people other than myself admire your talent!  Please keep up the soulful writing.

I just wanted to say thanks for the kind words that were expressed concerning my poem.  It is those words that allow people to want to write more.  Thanks again for all the love.
