A Time To Love

A Time to Love 

Time it once had a meaning, 
The years had seasons, 
Day and night reigned and waned, 
Love was pure and unstained, 
Before the grains of truth and trust, 
Began to seep out, Began to rush, 
Seeping and lies creeping, 
Insidiously drowning love. 
  Our times have had  meaning 
Our love had its season 
The grains of our love 
Ceased flowing became corrupt 
It stopped!
Times up!
Loves finished! 
Abrupt!

    Love how you captured that feeling of finality that can overwhelm us as times, both in the words and the layout :o)

    nice to swing back through on this...life is full of endings, some for the better...perhaps based on the nature this is one of them...

    I think that love is eternal. Love dies in lies, in selfishness. The poem is sad and true.
