As Time Allows

7/22/09

I will remember her as time allows,

And all the infidelities of love.

There is a blindness comes upon the soul

Of those who unequivocally love,

Discretion lost, the heart a seething mass,

The mind unable dispassionately to see

The flawed relationship, the nagging doubt

That ate at her, consuming all her joy,

And lacking wisdom's seal and the soul's stamp

I wandered blind in alleyways of fate.

But I shall see someday as time allows

Perhaps her love was flawed but yet sincere,

Inapt to overcome the treacheries

Once suffered at a brutal father's hand.

Though she is gone and lost to me I know

I will remember her as time allows.
