A Blog On- A vision as seen from a forty-year span...
The Vision, The Reality, The Great Love Once Lost
(First phase, looking at a past reality)
She, an angel came in to buy a coke,
through din of dancing noise, ghastly thick smoke
a dream vision with a rose in her hair
I looked in deeply, with a longing stare
she gave me, her best million dollar smile
that cried out, my new love, lets talk a while,
she with those skin-tight shorts, her hippie style
all her sexy beauty set to beguile.
Then I knew she was surely Heaven sent,
to free me, from my dark life so hellbent
blessing so true, with her soft flowing glows
so beautiful, as hope's paradise shows
I thought, me with her, a miracle feat
can love be born beyond mortal defeat,
our first kiss, both eager hearts skipped a beat
love's dessert given, we began to eat.
Spring and summer's blessings, away they flew,
this was our nirvana, as we both knew
a love so deep something just had to give
tho' without her loving, I could not live
fate's wicked plan then began to unfold
she believed those dark lies, others had told,
venom thus born, her heart turned freezing cold
casting me into heartbreak's dark stronghold.
From that hell-born pit, I could see her tears,
time raced onward through all those crying years
she had moved on, so very far away
while I in my new prison had to stay
old and gray, so firmly chained in that cell
this pleading soul, living torturous hell,
on some nights, her sweet perfume I did smell
yet against fate's black curse, I still rebel.
She, an angel came in to buy a coke,
through din of dancing noise, ghastly thick smoke
a dream vision with a rose in her hair
I looked in deeply, with a longing stare
she gave me, her best million dollar smile
that cried out, my new love, lets talk a while,
she with those skin-tight shorts, her hippie style
all her sexy beauty set to beguile.

"The Vision, The Reality, The Great Love Once Lost"
(Second phase, poet's aged eyes looking at past reality)
Dawn came, sandy seaside beach came alive,
seeking a new romance to soul revive
poet's heart begging that true love renew
joy, former life, that away I once threw
sun was beaming, as new world seemed to sing
heart was dancing, begging life again bring,
beautiful angel not a one-night fling
for this sad soul had once lost everything.
Seagulls overhead, sky was dancing too,
I marveling at its fantastic blues
white beach sands, were bare feet satisfying
gone away, days of moaning and crying
looking for a future of hope and love
left behind evil world of push and shove,
past sorrows, I no longer a part of
a new man on quest for deeper, truelove.
At water's edge dipping in toes to feel,
saw a vision coming, could not be real
yes she, that beauty of desirous dreams
an angel sent to prove new love redeems
I froze as thought came, this can not be so
surely if I blink away this will go
for she is dream goddess my love-dreams show
dare I blink to see, to really know?
Courage summoned, heart was all a flutter
with gasping breath, prayer I did mutter
dear Lord, please, please, let this be my reward
you know my life has been so very hard
from sky above a tender voice then spoke
mercy cometh, love's promise is no joke
now by faith, your spirit has again woke
blessings come when faithful vows you invoke.
Dawn came, sandy seaside beach came alive,
seeking out a new romance to revive
poet's heart begging that true love renew
joy, former life, that away I once threw
sun was beaming, as new world seemed to sing
heart was dancing, begging life again bring,
beautiful angel not a one-night fling
for this sad soul had once lost everything.
