The Unquenchable Thirst







Funny, this thing called Love, almost as if it's a thirst for me that is unquenchable.



"Too many miles, and the too little smiles" as my friend Harry Chapin sings, my thoughts seem to drift back to different times,

when I embarked on this love seeking journey.



Finding and loving, the traces permanently left on my soul,

when finally convinced by my heart

that I had to let it go



And then, just when the heart gives up, decides to stay true to ones self, believing that loves lost, is such a cost,

it happens again.



My heart encircled by scar tissue from the deep and sometimes self inflicted wounds, falls once more.



Astonished that I could love once again, not heeding inner warnings at all,

my heart is once again,

allowed to fall.



This one hurts almost as much as the first, yet different as I am older and wiser you see,

and this one will be healed by time also,

If it doesn't spell the death of me.
