time warp
lost inbetween
cherishing memories
pleasantries
which endure
splendid
only in recall mode
surviving
in reality
having
no vitality
anymore
in an era
not too far
gone by
people
somewhat decent
not trying
to get over
on one another
no they didn’t
as much
steal
hurt
or lie
good
for a time
bad defied
now
love
somehow
has taken a turn
seeming
waining
barely
thrives
on hold
in hearts
it has waxed cold
once precious
and pervasive
soley a remnant
in the young
unfolds as well as in those
who aren’t twenty or thirty somethings
who have managed to live
half a century or more
theirs is sore
aching
love may
no longer
move forward
with those
who remain
self absorbed
cannot get on board
for they remember
when love being more assured
in a time warp
(2014)
this poem is a statement about a dichotomy of love now and then... it isn't an indictment across the board against those who are young... however, now times have changed and it seems, for some love may be at a premium... no it is more of a reflection than anything else
