Owls and Orchids

“You only need one man to love you. But him to love you free like a wildfire, crazy like the moon, always like tomorrow, sudden like an inhale and overcoming like the tides. Only one man and all of this.”     ― C. JoyBell C.

From the moment we met

I knew my path was set

There was never a doubt

I  believed I knew what I was about

There was a certain surety that all would be well

And on anything else my mind would not dwell

Yet there’s one thing I now know

It’s that the past will not easily let go

Of its murky currents and hell

Trapping the unwary in hidden depths

Of secrets kept neath a calm surface

How easy to avoid so much pain

By an honesty which seems so plain

To even such a jaundiced eye as mine

Is the intent to let a true love die

By hiding behind a coating of black lies

To ponder this question can lead to madness

Wretchedness and despair

.

True love cannot be measured

By how many keys open the hearts locks

If the love in each heart is sure

It is willing to open to the lure

Of the truth shared like the brightest of stars

And no power on earth falling down from above

Can destroy the beauty of true loves flame

.

But rest assured dear friends

Truth and lies can never blend

And true loves heart can break with this pain

Which in the end brings only loneliness

And shame with boundless blame

.

So if true love is your aim

And not to hurt or to maim

Give freely the key to your heart

Returned a thousandfold and more

Is loves bounty of that I’m sure

With no shadows to tear you apart

Only chains of love and silken keys of joy

Wrapped round two hearts

Twined forever together

.

“I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you.”   ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

May loves light shine in your heart, from whatever source it finds.

Blessings.  Susan x
