WELL DONE, MY FRIEND...I LOVE THE LAST STANZA.IT REMINDS ME OF MY ROAD TO MY 'LAST REFUGE', AND THANK GOD 'HE' WAS AND STILL IS HERE. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
You may have never found love, John. I found love. Three times. My love for three woman, their love for me, they said. I believe you came of in better shape than did I.
I see how you seem to mean that it was not real love from her side, but she just needed somebody in that time, and you were the only one. At least she trusted you. It feels melancholic though, and the subtle complaint of the lack of real love shines through, bittersweet. It's enjoyable, and a beautiful, crafty poem.
Another biographical clue? There's something I've learned over the years (in my at times fraught life)... you can't let your happiness depend on something you may lose. Trust is the foundation of all good things between people. C. S. Lewis postulated: "There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind." For me personally this has proven true. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed your thoughts. r
Ah, your words ring true for many. Trust is at the epitome of love, and love at the doorstep of trust. I love your poetry , have a wonderful day dear John.
