Too Far

Topic: LovePoetry

I`ve come too far
Just to trust my dreams
Wishing upon a star
I traveled long and far
Carrying just my tortured soul and guitar
All I dreamt of is your precious heart
For as long as we have been apart
Yes, I`ve traveled too far
Just to hand over our dreams
On another falling star

Absolutely sensational write!
Only a fallen star knows what worth it was wishing upon!

Another gem of a poem!
Encore!

Love the last two line. It saves the poem. Well done, Mr. Stockdale.

Experience is a curse, disguised as wisdom. Your write proves that once we know better, there is no going back to that wonderful naive I-can-do-anything; I-will-live-forever; and-ain/'/t-love-grand mode.
Written like a truly educated cynic, twice bitten and suspicious.
Maybe instead of avoiding injury, we should avoid fear.
Nah. Too simple.

I would love to someday play
guitar along with you.
when I was just a kid,
I would play the guitar,
and just go off, not knowing
how much I enjoyed, it.
Sometimes we stifle our dreams
or even worse, stifle others dreams,
which was never what we sought
out to do.

And that fate, if one believes in
fate, might change who we
thought we were, when we care
enough to look.

great thought, excellent
poem,
"all I dreamt of is your precious heart"

Leaves of Grass
Come, said my Soul,
Such verses for my Body let us write, (for we are one,)
That should I after death invisibly return,
Or, long, long hence, in other spheres,
/'/There to some group of mates the chants resuming,
(Tallying Earth/'/s soil, trees, winds, tumultuous waves,)
Ever with please/'/d smile I may keep on,
Ever and yet the verses owning---as, first, I here and now, Signing for Soul and Body, set to them my name.
Walt Whitman
Peace!

I like this indeed. The short message removes the polish but keeps the whimsy and symbolism which is very much well-needed in this day as much as any other. The symbolism speaks to the call of maturity; responsibility; to love. It reminds us that to love is very much ideal, but to love well is and should be our goal in the end; lest we waste our only heart we have.

Great write James, I hope all/'/s well :)
