Lost

If I lost you my love I'd be cast adrift
No way to hold on, I'd fall through the rift
Full of sorrow, and regrets, no life without hope
How my soul cries would I ever, ever cope

When my regrets
Replace my dreams
That shall be the time
Of my mourning
For our dreams
Are the rainbows
We slide down
Making our days sing
And our hearts glad

If I couldn't see you my love, I'd truly die
In wretched sorrow I'd weep,and I'd cry
Bemused and dazed I just couldn't go on
How can a soul last if its lost its true song

When my eyes
Cannot see wonder
But instead
Are fogged with despair
That shall be the time
Of my desperation
For wonders
And small miracles
Make each day
Bright with promise

If I couldn't hold you, where would I be?
Bereft of warmth, I'd freeze utterly
How does a heart feel if its dead and cold?
Timid, and shy, instead of bright and bold

When I lose my soul
In sadness and sorrow
And I don't feel the joy
That infuses my being
That shall be the time
Of my torment
For joy keeps me alive
And eager for
The adventure of living

If I couldn't reach for you, not touch your soul
I'd be empty,nothing inside just a huge dark hole
With a void within, I'd be naught but a shell
No reason to go forward, drear and unwell

When my spirit dies
Expires for want of love
And I don't feel
Love's pure touch
Caressing my senses
Then shall be the time
Of my ending
For love is the only reason
To keep going onward

If I couldn't have your love, I'd surely fade
Like a shadow I can't live in nights eternal shade
You are my light, I live by your grace
With you in my life, everything I can face

When my heart reverberates
Sings glories of delight
Rings with the sound
Of Love's utter wonder
That is the time of
My deliverance
For only now that love
Enthuses and enlivens
My soul, my heart
Do I understand
The meaning of truth

If I lost you my love, where would I be
Lost and alone, devoid of company
For your love gifts me with truth and light
I know in my heart all will be right

Marsha

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

It's good to see those pink letters form words of beauty and love again. I've missed them my dear mushy friend.

Hi you all, thank you so very much for reading this bit of nonsense of mine. I'm glad you all enjoyed it, but frankly I know I have and can o a lot better. I do have a valid reason this isn't pure poetic perfection, I have been quite ill this week, there seems to be a bug going about and naturally enough I've caught it. Naturally enough, because every time there's a bug it comes and seeks me out. Anyway thank you all, every one of you are amazingly sweet to keep me fondly in your memories and believe me when I say it, each one of you are tucked into the fond remember of mine.

Take care all, I'll be back in soon, I hope to read and reply

Love you all muchly
as always
Mushy

A bug seeks you out? Seems to me like there's only ONE poetic person to call upon, who can make you ALL better!

To reiterate the obvious, you HAVE been missed, m'friend...

and it is so good to see you come HOME again!

Feel better soon, my friend...
