Torments of time drift by
no compassion I detect in her eyes
Where once was a fire, now all but dust
the remains of an empire
that was built with trust

Thinking out loud I astound myself
my selfless thoughts so pure
yet all along I sought
a love that was so demure

Had it or not there's no question
I shall not ponder lost time
but deep within my cavernous heart
I know that once she was mine

If history teaches men lessons
then this is one I repeatedly learn
and all along I wish, with a passion
that eternally burns

For true love is my holy grail
and companionship is my bond
with someone who has time to understand
not fix all with magic wands
Richy

Hang on to those thoughts for true love to come and it will. A deep poem filled with the sadness of your soul. Keep writing....the pain will pass...time heals all they say.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Wow. What a great line. Should have written that one myself.

Great write Richy. Good to see you back here. Been there, felt this, the wounds are still visible (and got the poetry to prove it, lol). You've penned the feelings very well, I really like this.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
