Timing Is Everything

 


By the time I grew into his love


he had given up on me


timing is everything


and mine got away from me.


Short, dark, and handsome


found tall, blonde and crying


(size isn’t everything


this man knew how to sing)


By the time he realized I was empty


had forfeited heart and soul


to someone in another time


and had forgotten to let go,


He had dried my tears


and shed some of his own.


Timing is everything and


I’ve already told you about mine


He could have been my everything


had we met at another time


 


Sandy Knauer

what a soulful and poignant rendition of the 'star-crossed lovers' ideal...it's always so sad, isn't it, especially the moment of realization, when poems like this are born. love your imagery and word choice, you said exactly what had to be said, and got out of dodge. admirable.

People who write from the heart and in what they believe, to me that is real poetry.

Thank You.

This is a wonderful expression of painting with words. Ah, yes -- knew how to sing.... - Duke

You always bowl me over with your angles on the way you express just that special "something"! Always in a neat and concise way that is just so precise and yet fits in so cleverly with the image or scenario that you paint. I think in pictures, and it reminds me of shuffling a pack of cards, somehow. You are a craftsman/woman(!!) and I get the sense of you having very acute vision and good spatial awareness - are you an architect or something? Don't mind me.. it's a bit late and I'm taking more than a few tangents of my own! Great thought-processes sharply caught and defined. TY Kate xx

Innovative poem with a message to us all; sometimes we have no control over the "timing." Good.

Sandy,
Your words sing true, with 'timing is everything,' for unless both are willing and able to work on the relationship, it's simply, not going to work.
It's sad, but so many have lost and watched their chance to happiness and love, fade with the light of day.
Beautiful work.

Reminds me of the parable of the seed that fell on rocky soil, it grew but then died for lack of soil to spread its roots. We don't always know when love will take root but we must have rich soil for it to grow when it does.

Oh Sandy that is the trouble with love...it is so hit and miss. You wait and wait for the right one then when you give up and settle for second best. Mr/Ms Right seems to always come strollong along. A little sad this one but really well written.

This is so sad Sandy. Love found and then lost. I've never had the real love of a man, so I cannot compare, but I can relate to having the love of a mother, and then losing that love to her treachery. Thnx for sharing Sandy. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sad den sister, Barbie
