~ When The Time Comes ~

When the time comes I’ll look back
I’ll look up when my sky turns black
Then my mind will take me to
The time of now when my sky is blue
I’ll recall the love that we now share
Cling to the thought of you being there
Then I’ll try not to dwell too long
On how short was our love’s song

When the time comes I’ll recall you
I’ll clutch the gift of a love so true
Hold the when of you here in me
Feel the touch of our love’s certainty
I’ll try not to weep or cry too much
With longing for your sweetest touch
Instead I’ll hold to the now of we
I’ll keep inside heart’s memory

When the time comes I’ll reminisce
I’ll think on times filled with bliss
Clasp to the joy rejecting pain
Remember how we fed heat’s flame
I’ll hold the thought of you in me
Not moan or whine of tragedy
When the time comes for you to go
I’ll smile though it hurts me so

I think I'll save this, it is the way love should be held...if it must end.

It always seems to happen this way...even
though we try so hard to not let it...or
try even harder to accept it....sometimes
it just doesn't....

Utterly beautiful Mushy!!!!

Marsha, darling girl, this is so very, very beautiful. Your poetry is awesome! And it just keeps getting better and better and better. And you know, Mushy, I really love your poetry, and I love you. May I answer with a bit of verse?

In God there are no dimensions
All true love is omniscient
So I just want you now to know
That though I came, you'll never say I went

And every love that is true
Is like my purest love for you
So please just smile; enjoy your heart
In God, You two need never, ever part.

((Marsha))

Thank you everyone for reading this, I think it needs a few words of explanation. No matter how happy I am right now and I am, I really am, but recently it’s been brought home to me that time cannot be taken for granted. We are all mortal and sometimes we tend to forget that. This was to remind me that when the time comes as come it will that I should celebrate the love.

Dear girl, don't you ever say you are not a poet.
"Hold the when of you here in me
Feel the touch of our love’s certainty
I’ll try not to weep or cry too much
With longing for your sweetest touch
Instead I’ll hold to the now of we
I’ll keep inside heart’s memory"

Wonderful lines here, and great writing. floria

Now dear girl, I know what a black sky is all about, and you rise above that quite well...

do go on now, and tell me another story, and make it bubble, for I have been told you do that quite well...bubble, that is.

Victoria darling girl thank you so very much I appreciate it, as I said before this was because it was brought to my attention that we are none of us immortal. So we should make hay while the sun shines.
