Preparations

If I could place my words just so, in boundaries that would show their mean
Would then, your own be voiced in truth, and spell to me the in between.

If undecided tears could steal, the power of my smile, once warm
Would then, your touch reach out to me, and trace the gentle of my form.

If left to you to grace the still, that waits the time that hides below
Would then your eyes dig deep inside and know the love I could bestow.

How hard it is, to watch the time and all its moments disappear
Wishing for the happiness that once upon was yours, in near.

"If only" words control my mind, preparing me for what's to come
Either or and neither nor, whatevers there, I will succumb.

Following the lead of you, that answers to the need of me
Always in my heart, the ache, of loving one to this degree.

If I could shape untitled love, and place my words just so for you
Would then your light, come rise above, and fill the want, this day, for two.

M

your words are like music..but why would you want to watch time as it moves fresh moments into the archives of our minds, or cancels them outright? in 4th stanza..should be "is near"?

Enjoyed reading that, very pretty.!

A dream is but a dream, you can wake up.  Reality is ultimate, and those who share it with us are far more important than anything we could remember,

BC...I try to write and let the reader feel. Sometimes I am successful, many times not.

Martin, thank you *s Time and all that comes with it is fleeting for me, I can't ever grasp it and have it to share for any longer than it takes it to move on.

in near...as "in closeness" could have had it, chose not to (my weird way of expressing something that never happened)

Quiet Acquiescence, thank you ~*~me~*~

sellout007, I am happy you  could even understand my words. Thanks
