'If Parched Dreams Could Talk'
I wonder what they would say
thank you for this sweet libation of life
or no thanks I'll imbibe of it
perhaps another day
the heart quells at a rate
of many love speeds
some bump into while others
collide to only further impede
there are many sizes, reasons
for and models
whom one meets today
to make as only just a friend
in another month, another time
they could be lover for a lifetime
or maybe only a year
its the proposed impact of the moment
that is never so clear
a dart game of contacts
sent for each individual to pick and choose
some loves I believe from the start
but veiled to us
we were always meant to lose
love mistakes though painful as they are
are the best sort of mistakes to make
as God teaches us best through love
in whatever the form
so do not stand forsworn
but open and vulnerably receptive
life is a cascading glow of experiences
what the human heart deems as good and bad
could be swallowed up whole in spiritual relevance
as a taste of an entirely different nature
trust what is
but also let life be bold sometimes
and surprise you
much of this is what I believe
parched dreams indeed would truly say
if they could only gather a discernible voice
all their own enough so this so valuable
a life message to convey.......................
