Straitjacket

[Ken Corbett]

I know I’m in your thoughts
just like you’re in mine
wherever you are.

It’s all right this way.
We need not own each other.

Some would say
our time together
ended long ago

but Time is just an illusion,
that makes us grasp at shadows,
mourn what has passed,
and dread the darkness to come.
I have shucked
the straitjacket of Time.

We had each other then.
We have each other now,
even apart.
I still have your happiness
to brighten my days,
and look to the future
with hope and awe.

[Elle Rush]

A great testiment to romance and how we are touched forever by special people in our lives-- even if the physical presence is gone. Spirit and love can shine in the soul for eternity. I dig these two poems of yours- assuming they are both about the same special person. Lovely and endearing.
