ALWAYS FOR YOU

            Always for you and thinking or dreaming;

            sensing your presence, now you are leaving

            Oh! If only just now you were with me

            then hope or dreaming, less no more to see.

                   If you could remain, hope for you in tune,

                   in body, as well spirit going soon

            then letting loose is so much of a good feeling,

                   relief so profound hardly for reeling.

                   Subtle not jovial those escapades,

                   bedazzles, begoggles, many a parade

                   the mind, merely or hardly will just fade

                   so please remove restraining cords, unafraid

                   There is much to enjoy our loving here,

we are far away, yet seemingly near.

To freeze up, a stable or so-sure frieze

what started, now remains on just tease.

Into future lost, shortened, then regained

and something hopeful, or even pained

feelings or remorse of memory pure

opportunity, fully and unsure.

If only we discerned reality

so the reunion of linkage becomes free

fate, contrariness, superimposed too

rediscovery appointed anew.

Always for you, thinking, or if dreading

if only you were with onward heading

but in sensing hope, timely sure presence

then I would suppose there is no credence

I shall freely stay hopefully with you

in body, full heart, as well as spirit due.

           . . . ALWAYS YOURS . . .
