Second thought heart

Maybe I need solitude Romance requires work to do Am I up to loving true Is it enough to love you Perhaps my muse is my mate The onyx one who got away And fills my sun with anticipate Melted moon runs as night time sedates Is the quest much more to digest Than delivery of hearts sole quest He in the east and I am in the west Time will tell despite my jest

Time does tell, but moments slip away. And sometimes we simply need to seize the day. I identify, the muse needs to be fed. Otherwise logic fills your daily thread. Love this Karen. Our inner dialogs are fun to pen in rhyme. - Susan

Too early to say that it’s lost or found. We have yet to meet face to face as he is in LA and I’m in Carolina. Anyway I’m in no rush lol

Love this poem dear Karen. Reflective thoughts here. The line, ‘ melted moon runs as night time sedates ‘ is glorious. Long distance relationships will always have its hurdles to overcome including the passage of time as well as love. That last stanza is great and profound. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and smiles :):)

the muse is all-consuming and pays no attention to the rules of love or time.

Distance is never easy and long distance relationships can be really hard... our muse is always our friend and helps us to express what we suppress and explain things our tongue may struggle with...
