Of time and of love

Of time and of love

Did you know...
thereโ€™s a time machine inside you and I?

a myth to those who cannot see it
yet to me a journey most definitely possible ย 

from two-thousand and twenty-four
right back to nineteen-eighty-nine
in a blink of an eye

who could deny my magnificent mind?
or of that youthful love that once was?

withered with the rose petals of time
faded in-between life and death itself

thus drifting from a once young lover

falling into the frailest of hands
and then onto the wisest of hearts
that has many a tale to tell.

Hello Shirley...

Is yours a little Wonky?

Mine can be...

โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹5 minutes can feel like an hour...

3 hours can feel like 1 hour...

People ask me the time sometimes...

Then I realize...

Great question...

I have no idea...

I will check right now...

Other times it's like...

That's all it is?

Is yours like that?

Great write...

Hello dear Raechel Ray, so very kind of you to come by here, I have studied love since I was born really, every single type but my favourite of all is romantic love and I really am so very humbled you have come by to read and to leave a lovely review. Thank you. It is always better to be alone than with the wrong person I've been there and done that, I have a poetry book all about it. One of my own personal favourites is called butterflies are rare because it's here if you ever want to read it, but actually most everything I write is about love thank you so much . ๐ŸŒน
