love has a cadence
there is a rhythm to it
much like an ocean
searching for a beach
only to leave it forevermore
in the meantime
love in all its splendor
is a beautiful sight to see
like smoldering embers
ensnaring you as you
unknowingly catch on fire
too soon rain comes
the fire goes out
you walk the city blocks
in the darkness
in a voodoo-like spell
it has been said that happiness
can be compared to a forest
green and lush at being alive
someone throws a careless match
the forest burns, but then
it is able to grown again
with that in mind think
affectionate things about her
hoping she will send back
the same to you
ahhh . . . why do our dreams
disappear and happiness dies
leaving tears in our wake

"MAGICAL," co-authored by Jerry Pat Bolton and Jane Noponen Perinacci

Elin Saari has lived with terror no woman should ever have to endure. Devlin Grimm, the man she fell hard for turned out to be so cruel she began to silently call him Satan. The years spent with Satan were so severe she truly felt she had no mind of her own. Something inside of her made her break away and file for divorce. Satan upped the ante and she had to run to get away from him. But wherever she went he would find and harass her. She was at her wits end when something profound happened. Through the magic of a strange necklace she began to receive messages, until desperately she tried to summon whoever was trying to contact her. When Touch Starlin' walked into her life and explained who he was and how closely connected they were Elin could not remember at first. Touch took charge of trying to rid her of Satan – the name she had pinned on him was closer to the truth that she could have ever known. Satan follows them wherever they go and Elin begins to doubt Touch's Powers.

Very beautiful, dear Jerry.

I love this especially, it really reflects reality, in nature and in relationships too.

Thank you Margherita, I just put in the "it has been said," but those lines are all my own.

My friend, you have, as is per usual for you, made a touching description, only to go on and ask a pointed question directed at that very same tender spot.
I think part of the answer to your question is that love changes, just as people change over time. Another part of asking why love dies is a little bit like asking why bad things happen to good people. It just does.

You you right, Lori, but sometimes you just have to ask those question even though you already know the answers. Thank for being here . . .

Sometimes it is just like that and it dies for no apparent reason. But what's the alternative?
