I saw love one day in the middle of the grey
a walking, talking, entity with a heart and soul
until madness like the sun rose up in everyone
and forced a concentration of evil mindedness.

But only so and so and not so I could know
human beings past, present, soon, a sure resting place
and haven for its little tricks of seeming innocence
nestled in appearances of good, faithful, and true.

And I don’t do windows on this dusty earth
where the pay is minimal and affords no luxury
except only for myself to see love’s form and face
bow out overcome by worldly smoke and fumes.

But only so and so and not so I could know
love is the sleeping beauty of the strangest times
waiting for that Prince of mystical invention
to levitate again love’s original intent.

Lethal to the mind are numb to love injections
unnaturally imbibed in the confines of this life
but only so and so and not so I could know
fairy tales are parables and tell the truth of soul!

Brilliant simply brilliant.
I do not know what your muse was, but it must have captured your soul and taken it for quite the voyage.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Thanks, poe. Oh, you speak the truth - quite a voyage indeed if all could be known.

Oh, Sister! This poem I may make my mantra! Just kidding. It's just so to the point of what I'm feeling at the moment. Thank you, Helen, for putting this to print for me to ponder.

Hi, Jo - I put to print for womanhood!

Some say there is benefit in looking, listening, and feeling but I ponder that point today.
