Footnote

 My heart is  likened to rain

 Seeking the tunes of love in the breeze 

To find a lost part unknown but for the pain

And still seeking in laughing crackling of the trees

 The sorrows that come my way

Are the violin strings that set the base 

My demeanor crazy and silly 

All along with the thoughts I forever chase 

I live my life with gratitude

Yet I seek for something more

I ain't sure I can find 

My beloved when I'm gone 

And this note you'll find 

Know that as serious as I was 

Also very much I was fickle in mind 

A moment a sorrow  caught my heart 

Despair writ all over the part 

Times like this that my poems dart 

Then I call upon the divine 

And for the time being am pacified 

I cànt wallow for long in sorrow 

I ain't the one to be of not in cheer for  morrow 

For so much and such I could take no more 

All this and still more to find 

And so I ask to be to self a bit more kind

So as loved ones meet and depart 

The sun ought to shine till the day depart 

My beloved live the generous life in your part 

Before the ages once again anew a start 

 "It changes things,that knowledge. Doesn't it? When what you love gets taken from you, you wanna know the truth."

When the winter is due

How sorry I am

How can I tell you

The autumn leaves have to fall

When the winter is due

The visitors of the garden

Left in search for a different season

The winter is cold and frozen

Snow covered....fàllen leaves, petals strewn

Could it have been worse 

A stone placed on the heart of a rose

A poem desparate for want of words

Has turned into an agony of prose

A loner by the river

Listening to the tunes  

In the pebbles of the water

Searching for the meaning of the runes

The shores being washed again

With every tide of the earth

A respite for the pain 

With every sighing breath

How sorry I am 

How can I tell you 

The autumn leaves have to fall

When the winter is due

A judgement of thoughts

The thoughts my mind could think

the thoughts of someone wise 

with time the very thoughts would change 

and then the very thoughts myself despise 

In the realm of thoughts unknown

I thought of people on the unleash 

and now my thoughts find me there 

and the plight of thoughts the same it were 

The thoughts my mind could think......

Exclaimed l ..What! the souls calling ?

Laughed l....What, the whims of desire!

Mocked I .....What, the pangs of heart !

And now the thoughts of obligations, duties, the shame, the pride 

The thoughts my mind could think.....

And then there goes the thoughts of searching

Of things that ought to nothing

As longer the thoughts linger 

so deeper the pain within

The thoughts my mind could think...

For as the thought-wheel turns around

the strings of space that time  once wound 

Their pain would then be mine, me surround 

When my thoughts homeward bound 

 

The thoughts my mind could think.....

So in thoughts of life's search for merry

on life's path of time and destiny 

has had me thoughts as judged as I 

And judged by same will I be 

The thoughts my mind could think....
