Love like no other

I wrote this sometime in 92 or 93.  While it was written as a generic poem about love, the inspiration was due to my friend getting married.  I believe I wrote it while on a flight to his wedding.



Love like no other

Bestowed upon you from ages past
Love like yours will forever last
                The seasonal blooming of flowers
                The grandfather clock chiming the hours
                The violent tragic storming of natural powers
Like a feeling forever in us present
Defies comprehension, yet so pleasant

Is it for fools in their merry state?
Or just a part of our fate
                Doors made for us to open
                Roads wind in our direction
                Sleep moderates our compulsion
Or something to us indescribable
The real picture is soft and pliable

With our power to move
We can build or destroy as we choose
                A sand castle on the side of a beach
                A picture unfinished sitting on an aisle
                A book with an open ending
There is much more we can say
Yet be undone and say no more

The virgin unity of truth and folly
The day polarized with contradiction yet full of glory
                In knowledge lies folly
                In power lies demise
                In understanding lies ignorance
Bestowed upon you from ages past
Love like yours will forever last

In misty clouds at times you will look
Your sun will turn the pages of your book

At times dark, then bright
Like clouds broken by the sun light
