"full circles..."

@Uootem

the osculating circle of this life...
revolving and doubling back... to both its pleasures and its strife.
recurring emotions that long since should have been spent...
almost forgotten memories returning too... no hope to circumvent.
how often to hold onto its warmth only to abruptly recognize that it burns?
for the measure of time continues... in inherent rhythmicity it turns.

i do not believe that true love can find an undeniable end
but I know that it must change to fit a shape... once lover now only friend.
and though i love you now, we know my love has had to be transformed.
for there is a certain coldness where once hearts were warmed.
that all those moments spent gathering future hopes and dreams
were all in the outcome just so much wasted time it seems.

there were nights of never ending dreams... dreaming still haunts me
but the times when we laughed with hopefulness are nevermore to be.
yet when i close my eyes to rest, i still see us there
sharing smiles and warmth, passionately dancing on the love we share.
the images are faded now and seem so far apart from this time...
my sunshine is black and cold... my poetry does not necessarily rhyme.

but for renewal of a long ago time my heart now misses
unread poetry... unfelt embraces... the longing for love's kisses
each verse the poet writes for me is now my lonely friend.
if there was love once, then let it live again... and this emptiness end.
show me sunshine, sprinkle me with spring's freshened rain
let me gaze in awe and wonder as our love blooms again.

let me learn to like the shape of the circle... its advantageousness come to know.
let me find a friend in its geometry that today seems like an unrelenting foe.
the osculating circle of this life... its creation must fit with God's plan
for he took the girl from the boy... but brought the woman to the man.
the osculating circle of this life...
revolving and doubling back... to both its pleasures and its strife.
