I’ve changed my mind; there’s no denial
what was no longer can be
when love remains forever hidden
in nights that stretch to infinity.

And now too far from a land
that thrilled from the ground up
the reins that once tethered my heart
have slipped into life’s intolerable lies.

Alone I cannot untangle the knots
that one upon each other all day
grow to keep me so well confined
within the realms of old comfort zones.

There is no comfort in endless nights
that hide the beauty of eyes
and render a smile as non-existent
between walls that have nothing to say.

I give up! I’m ready to move
from a life too hard for the sensitive
into the beautiful, beautiful,
now perceived afterlife ~
but there’s no denial;
I can change my mind!

Cast your eyes outward and you will see sweet heavenly rapture, then reel him in slowly, but firmly, then and there, your poetry will change from words of the past to the sweetness of today.

Thanks, Victoria. Yes, I think I'll be around for a little longer although one never does know.

Jerry - Thank you. If the "sweetness of today" ever comes then you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be the most surprised person in the world.

Yes, there comes a time, Helen. We all know it but only a fine poet can describe it.
