In the essence of time forgot,

lingers the lure of promises bought,

song was deciphered

but meaning was lost,

in the essence of time that may be forgot.

Capture the fragrance of love and the lure,

the taste, the touch, yet no-one is sure,

swimming in sequence of promises bought,

can not figure why this time can't be caught.

Picture us standing, we're far, and we're near,

time blinked an eye, and one disappeared.

Swiming in time that was, and was not

a continuum of love? a dimensionless quat?

'Tis in the hour of time that was naught,

swimming in sequence of promises bought,

capture the deepening of old and the new,

soon seen by all, now only by few.

So lilting. Really thought provoking. It's so true the way time passes in the blink of an eye and loves and losses and dreams that were are lost and brand new all at once! Reminded me of "What the bleep do we know?" ..... Great poem Katie x

hahaha, oh, you know 'What the bleep' too?
we ahve that dvd where i work, it's really pretty good it's been quite some time and I have forgotten most of it. better I should see it again.
Thankyou lillypad, your name does not show up when you are not registered, but I went to the page that's how I know it is you ^_^ ^_^
yes, thankyou 'lilting' I like that discription ^_^
in the blink of an eye, yup, what is one life of all infinity, people come, people go, things change. there is only one thing for sure in the manifested world: 'nothing ever stays the same' haha yes, but in the unmanifested world, things never change. feeling, emotions, all are fleeting, but not states of being.

Oh-No listen to me, lol! well, it was a full moon last night, I think I should reread this I can hardly even remember it now Lollololol.
have fun tonight ^_^ ~katie

Ah yes, this was a very nice little write.
Exquisite really.
The paradoxes of time and love. Are they mere illusions that we construct, or are they real, or maybe a little of both...huh?
Love where your poems take my thinking...........

mmmmmm perfect ^_^ Love that feeling and love to give it ^_^

yes me and you both love that time or should I say 'the illusions of time' :)

love I believe is more a symbol of a much more richly devine thing. because our love is purely romantic it deals with pleasure and pain, so it is very, very nessesary in the development of man, because we still live in our emotions you know? we do tend to reach into states of being for short glimpses where we feel very deep for our significant other but then we tend to retreat back to the love/hate senario.
haha, I am a little long winded here.

always a pleasure to chat ^_^

Pratibha

I could not reach to the 'real' depth buddy...but something 'ticked' inside ....

song was deciphered

but meaning was lost,

I feel like this....

^_^ Yes, I feel that way about the teachings, many people hear and read the words of the bible and other holy books but they do not understand it fully. many think they understand but to understand something fully you almost have to become that which you seek. hahaha, I don't think I can explain as well as I would like ^_^
even if I think I understand something more deeper than some there are those who understand even more deeply than I. HA, is that better? although when it comes to songs it's like even if we don't know the words the essence still comes through, so that is the good thing, I guess the essence is what matters most, I don't know (giggles) :D

Thankyou so much Pratibha, I always enjoy chating with you ^_^ hey, I wrote a very funny story about when Juliet was missing a monthe or so ago....it's called:
"Where for art Thou Juliet" hahaha, I think you might get a big laugh :D
see you soon.........katie

gerabel

Classy Peach

Wow...was it polar opposites day for you? Such contradicting lines to each other!! But isn't that life after all? Oddly enough, it all makes sense Katie! Great poetry.

Lololololol!!!!!!!!!!!
well, do you know...it WAS a full moon...........
I think I may have been tired from all the howling the night before..
no but you know, the moon some months it jsut pulls you you know, and there is nothing you can do about it. well I can't explain it's all a distant memory now Lololol!!!!

haha, I did not know that it sounded like opposites but most probably it was, 'two poles of opposite, each pulling'
huh, ok, oh well, and yes I STILL feel strangely from it all.
but to make it simple I may just claim 'koo-koo-koo-koo'
hahahahahaha ^_^

Katie, This is a beautiful poem, so personal and clear in my mind. It takes me back to love and time that once was and now lost.

Posted: Jun 22, 2008

Author Comment:

:) oh, thankyou Vee, so happy you enjoyed.
in the happy memories of love, I think we still have that, I think that pure love never dissapears with time, oh; er I should say 'time disappears and love stays' haha, or something on that level huh? ^_^
thankyou Vee, wiil see you soon, ~katie

Well, the other day, I tried to submit a wonderful and beautiful comment on this awesome poem of yours. I hit submit and the site went down....And yesterday, we lost our internet due to a storm.
So, here I am, yet again, trying to submit a comment...
Let's see if it works:

Katie, this poem is absolutely breathtaking and refreshing.This poem has so much honesty in it, the contradictions are human, so human. I'm your greatest fan, Katie, because you can find the most of human emotions and find the most beautiful words to portray us. Very well done, my friend. Very well done.

*BIG SMILES* wow, thanks so much! ^_^

:D that happened to me too, the other day; the site went down, I was going to comment but then it was gone lol!!!!!
ya, but it's happened to me before also when you ahve written a long comment pouring out your most heart felt thoughts and then 'poof' "Site Down" for maintenance lololol.
ahhhhh ya, oh-well. you must be on at the same time as me right now... are you drinking a nicely fresh brewed cup of rich aroma coffee? ^_^ ahhh..., I told you I quit so I am going to have to enjoy the familiar memories through you ^_^
*giggles*
ok, guess I better get on with my day....Thanks again for such a great comment... have a grand one today ^_^

I got swept away in the sway of this. Now need to go back and see what is underneath the beauty.
(sort of like a Scotsmans kilt, that wonderful lilt, I wallow in guilt, I could see how was built, now to spy..curiously..under the kilt...)

hahahahahaha, that's great Anna ^_^

Thanks for the smiles ^_^

zenith66

Alot has been said already but i feel i must add, what an inspiring piece, such brevity and sheer humane depth, this is why we love this medium so much, so we may flow through the thougths created by others and grasp out own meaning from them, so we may be driven to aspire to the emotions o'er spilling in the works of others, amazing poetry here, pure art!!!

Posted: Jun 27, 2008

Author Comment:

Wow! So many thanks to you zenith, for such an uplifting comment. ^_^
yes, through the thoughts of others.
I have watched some come here not so well with the pen but then as if magic they blossom ^_^
hahaha, yes we are so connected we just don't fully realize it but we are.
You have some magnificent words yerself.
Have a very warm and sunny day***********^_^

anusha

hey there! this is really nice...deep meaning(if i understood it right ^_^) i really liked it! my fav lines were "swimming in sequence of promises bought"! cute!

Posted: Jul 2, 2008

Author Comment:

Hi anusha ^_^ yes a little deep lol, I actually had my mind somewhere, don't know where though lol!!!
well, I think the intended meaning was that our minds swim in sequence to this adn to that, adn we buy into promises missing the indepth meanings to things. well, adn then I think I go into the time thing a bit too. oh I love the time thingy lol. it is but it's not lol! yes, thankyou so much for taking the time. wishing you well :) ~katie

Pratibha

Posted: Aug 27, 2008

Author Comment:
