Wasting Time

No matter how strong love's desires may be.
No matter how clearly your heart can see.
No matter the obstacles you strive to undo.
All worthless endeavors unless you are falling
for the one that's wanting you.
Sorry to tell you all the others will never be true.
They'll end up taking your dream and breaking it in two.
Sad to waste so much precious time
holding onto dreams that won't come true
and keeping you from the one that truly wants you.

Yes, I believe  it's a sin to waste time...for time never stands still...and can never be recaptured.

Hey james (May I call you Jamie?? That's what I call my "big brother" who isn't really related to me but protects me) I really like this poem. Can't wait for more. C-ya. SMILE  

Don't wander throught this glassy surface, expecting to find more than me, because what I am without a purpose, but a lone mirage to see.

You're sentiments have mirrored such strong and vivid memories of my own.  

"All worthless endeavors unless you are falling
for the one that's wanting you."

Isn't that what we all crave... I loved this.

Thanks Xeonox, Tara, Cerenity, Marina, Wynter, allysa and Sheila for reading and responding...
Cerenity this poem has helped to give me a clearer understanding of a relationship I am involved in right now...I am being more cautious...wondering if our feelings are mutual...trying to only give as much as she desires from me.
Wynter...yes we have to decide if we are willing to waste the time...perhaps we only want a friendship and that is all the other is offering and we are happy with that...definately not a waste of time...but if we want to fall in Love and the other doesn't it could waste some of our valuable time working on a relationship doomed to fail...
Allysa..I suppose you could call me Jamie...but there is a Jamie in the forum..my friend Ted Medina calls me Jimmy Lee sometimes and some of my Hawaiian friends call me Kimo...I have lots of names...James

I ponder the meaning that lies within
am I or am I not, equipped to win
love's wretched race where cheaters seem
to claim the gold with the highest esteem
I ponder my own inadequate reflection
I search my heart to make the connection
am I in control or is it fate
who determines who shall be my mate?


Enjoyed your poem, went to the heart of me...

Wise words of truth, but the secret is to find those who only wish to love, not cause grief, anger or pain etc.
Great stuff James
