By Chasing a love lost to someone else
Date: 23 June 1997

lost

Lord, what is this love, this passion for her? Is it 
a feeling, engraved so deep in my heart and soul that 
distant stars in the night sky seem to sparkle 
brighter and brighter with every thought of her?

Is it the tranquil sounds of the ocean, becoming a 
symphony, raging to a crescendo some sleepless night?
Is this love?  The very thought of her, her touch, 
her silken soft skin, the beautiful essence and 
intoxicating aroma of her body and her passion?  Is 
this what overcomes me?  Is this my love, my passion 
for her?

What passion a foolish man can feel!  Like the song, 
"Fools rush in, where Wisemen never go, but Wisemen 
never fall in love, so how are they to know?"  To 
love without promise or regret?  A love and passion 
that yearns to feel the very breath that passes her 
lips?  To truly love someone enough, that their 
happiness, their life is above all else?  Can one 
understand this kind of love, this kind of passion?

Can one be truly complete without this knowledge?  Or 
does one go on without feeling or expressing this 
kind of love, this kind of passion, believing, 
hoping?

A man would be wise to learn, a fool to regret, and 
forever a "King of Hearts" to embrace his feelings, 
to share his soul, his innermost secrets with his one 
true love.  Life is mysterious, and love, soooo 
difficult to understand.
