Love For Now

It is not as shallow,
As it may once have seemed,
To want to be impermanent,
To want to love and leave.
There are so many out there,
Who bind themselves in love,
And do it with the cherished hope,
And trust they find in God above.
And surely their's is special,
If it stands the test of time,
For loving one another,
Will never be a crime.

But who is anyone to judge,
How long a love should last?
Could it be that some need wings,
To leave once night has past.
Nothing is so permanent,
Except for loving love,
And I will never stop,
As long as clouds remain above.
If at all I will love for now,
For what's to come is then.
Possibly the wings of sin beat strongly,
And I will be gone by then.

Ah Sherry m'friend..
This is beautiful, although somewhat melancholy.
Very much enjoyed...armpits?

Good morning, Sherry. Forgive the density of my gray matter, but I cannot figure out the armpits connection.

The poem flowed quietly and ever so softly with a hint of sadness...

A very moving piece of writing.

Thank you both for rescuing me...Linda, all last night, I checked in on this as it floundered and fell from the page.... the brackets were temporary.... I started questioning whether I would ever have a post.... since I had been reading everyone else's all night..... and not a single nibble.... I counted the hours without a hit until I went to bed at 6 this morning.

This poem went a full 8 hours without a single glance. It was not the reason I posted it.... but it hurt deeply to be ignored so obviously. That is why, at times, I question why I continue to post my poems here.

The armpit reference pertained to my assumed odor as I thought I must stink or something to go 5 hours on page 1 without a single post to rescue me from the oblivion that is page 2 and back. I rescue poems... but I don't expect that many do and less recognize my name or read my work.... even after I have enjoyed theirs.

This is a very true story. Yes it is. I like it.

Thank you Loner, and I know what you are going through right now. It hurts this bad if you consentrate on the future that might not be instead of just living and loving in the present. Everything has a time and place.

And everything's worked out and gone back to normal. Trust me, we've gotten used to this happening now and then. I saw that my heart was just too strong.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

Sherry, we all have poems that sometimes
sit and we wonder...I know I do....One of
the tribulations of a site that is so
enormous in size....Don't worry, you are
doing fine....
