To The Ones I Love(d)
"To you, and you, and you(mmm), and even crazy you"
my heart thanks you
as do my wounds
I was bound and gagged
bleeding from within
∞
how do I even begin
birthing these words
not even YOU have ever heard
the sunrise captured your eyes
and I melted along
with that chocolate surprise
I was saving for that first night
or was it the day
you didn't care, but for real you did
a mirage of affluence
stored in simplicity
I let you take a turn
our sun refused to burn
but I did
at the stake
and the ashes
spread out among the willows
and the wind
she kissed the earth
begging, there was rebirth
the roses blossomed from the bush
or was it a tree
glamoring right in front of me
I kissed her bud
and she opened up
for more than a world to see
symphonies played on my horizon
love notes felt of harmony
of peace, serenity
the hue of success
not in riches or in wealth
but in life and thus we are dealt
to overcome
misdeeds, misfortunes
my pennies are scarce
but my cup it overflows
with joy, happiness
memories, and gratitude
I'm an addict
to feelings, to love
to you
★
there's more than gold to be had
—if you just brush back the glitter
my heart thanks you
as do my wounds
I was bound and gagged
bleeding from within

Beautiful sentiments of love for love. Another of your best offerings Tim. This sounds like an ode to love.

This is beautiful in its gratitude and vulnerability. Our loves help form us and who we are evolves as a result. Even the painful ones. Lovely, Tim

Thanks my dearest Willow, we are all encompassing of our past, the love, the pain, misfortune, and gain.

I don't know if I've ever read anything as beautiful as your ink Tim. You make people fall over themselves when reading. And your cryptic symbolism is thought provoking. But I got all of it in this one.

this sounds oddly familiar those
ode`s to ``love``, the beauty of poetry
and to those who create them
in spite of what is woven between
those lines - like pain, tranquility,
love, understanding... beautiful ink`ing, Tim...

Congratulations, Tim! Thank you for journeying with us this year! We really enjoyed your offering, and assistance on the team.
Something struck me about this earlier, but I didn't know what. It's like you highlight the positive, of your loves ( what's that old song by Willy Nelson - to all the Ones I've Loved Before? ). Those who remember the light above the darkness are those who know Love, and that often times it must be let go and allowed to pass. And those who learn.

Thanks A, a pleasure to be part of the team.
Usually we only focus on the negatives of our past encounters/loves but there must have been so many positives that brought two souls together. Those moments need to be remembered and cherished, brought forth with us into our new destination. They are a part of us and helped mold us into who we are.

I'd like to believe all writers, especially poets, are romantics
and we are all addicted to love and being loved.
& Brother, this ain't so long for You and me.........
but I did enjoy the journey this April
You laid down some amazing spills
