Another Poem

I found this in my briefcase, of all places. I was looking for some Advil. Used to keep some with me when I went to work. Thought I might find some. Didn't. Found a poem instead. It was written on two little Post-it notes stuck together back-to-back. There is no date, but the time frame had to be between April of 2006 and June of 2008. So it's fairly recent.

Not sure who/what I was thinking of when I wrote this. Could have been most anyone. As is my wont, the meter is lilty and silly. All the same, I kind of like it.


I LOVE YOU NOW

I love you now, I loved you then
I’ll love you till I die
And even after I am gone
My love stays at your side

I grieve because you love me not
I grieve for I’m alone
I stand alone amidst the crowd
I am grief’s firstborn

And when a love begins anew
It lasts forevermore
It cannot fail, It cannot die
This isn’t just some lore

The pain of love is great it's true
When told that it must wait
It yearns, it longs for time to speed
For love is its own fate
