When One is No Longer

when truth matters more than the love it leaves behind ..

When One is No Longer

When I think of you

as indeed, I do often ..

You feel

so very much alive ..

But then,

you are no longer ..

And so,

when I try to think

of you harder ..

As indeed, I so want

to do ..

You are no more

the carefree

young woman, I once

used to know ..

But rather the ghost

of all those

women I have ever wanted ..

Author's Note

pray dont be gentle with me ..

dear Neville... the weight of the Centuries since Cleopatra
is found in the Ghosts of all your dreams... women who
stole your Heart and Soul... may they Rest In Peace...
forevermore. St. Patrick will keep you safe... per chance to Dream.
softly, Pat

Good old Saint Pat, Pat and ever so gently he dreams with thee on a mattress of hessian sheathed in silk and sprinkled with the down from a tawny owls tummy and a few wild flowers for good measure my treasure ... 🌷

The Spirit of 💗 Love is never lost… only tossed in the Waves of Time… kept in a Bottle washed on the Shore. gently, Pat

You are Welcome Neville… it is important to be optimistic… otherwise we are lost at Sea.. Prayers and Peace… Pat

She set the bar high Neville and rightly so; anything less will only ever be second best. Having said that it would be unfair to draw comparisons if a new love were to find your heart..
