This is a poem about a fleeting love.
The Story of Us


Once there was a young sir who found himself lost in the trappings of his mind
He wandered through a forest of loons and seers, unawares of what he would find
A bright light shined through the gloom causing him to gasp at the sight which he did see
A most heavenly angel, perched upon the branch of a mighty oak tree.

His heart began to pound a most unfamiliar rhythm in his chest
To win this angel's love, he vowed to try his best
Night and day he could only think of her as he thought of ways to make her his
But alas two souls stood in the way of what he knew would surely be bliss.

For he had one to whom he had given his heart
While she had someone whom she could not bare to part
Such a twisted knot was weaved inside the young man
But he did not see what was in store in their life plan...

Chaos, turmoil, began to beat within his chest
Love was lost between him and the one he thought he had loved best
Day and night his mind nonstop did race
An anxiousness inside to find that bright place.

His heart did swoon when he finally laid eyes upon that oh so familiar angel
Hope burst in his chest, wondering if this was going to unfold like a most impressive fable
Love that once was lost, was replaced with something new and better
True love he did see when he looked at his angel, and he hoped one day he might get her.

So the young sir sat patiently waiting
Never once did he find his heart straying
More assured than ever, he knew this was the one he was made for
Only time could tell when he would find the path leading to her door.

Days, weeks, and months did pass, and grievously, the time he waited for did come to pass
On circumstances he had wished to be different, they found one another, and a love was forged that he wished would forever last
His heart fluttered and his wings did grow
He was happier than he thought he could ever know.

But as things seem to do
One of those souls lost did come back between the two
He arrived in a hurry with most sorrowful news
Causing a deep sadness which the young lad felt was splitting this love in two.

His heart ached to see the one he loved hurt so much
Emptiness filled the space which he could not touch
He was lost in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do
So he stepped out of the picture, letting her see what would become between the two.

Despair did fill his life without her to shine upon his soul
Inside he felt he lost the truest love he could ever know
But all he wished was that she would find happiness with that one
Not knowing that it was him that she did truly love.

Neither knowing what to do
They slowly drifted apart, as she had found someone new
To know he let that go did kill him inside
So he found one with whom he wished those emotions he could hide.

But fate wasn't done with the young lad and his angel
This was just the beginning of their most marvelous fable
Out of the blue she appeared back in his life
And the one he was with ended it with him that night.

Once again pieces began to fall in place
Picking up where they had left off, his heart began to race
Through hell he vowed he would walk for her
So he flew to see her, without taking a single detour.

Like a marvelous fairy tale it all came to pass
Back again was the love, this time he knew would forever last
Every night he holds her, he thanks their angels above
For bringing them together to create a most marvelous love.
