Now And Always Poem by Wilfred Mellers

This situation I find myself in
For I have selfishly taken one on the chin
My words I shall never rescind
Chasing a breeze trying to catch the wind

Up and out through my front door
Gone is my luck ever more
Like a child grasping at the sand
Granules slips right through my hand

To hold her was impossible to achieve
She once gave me something to believe
Like a can of beets sitting on the shelf
Here I am now left to myself

She never could make up her mind
Her heart she kept hopelessly confined
Seasons when she refused to leave behind
Love to me has always been so unkind

This is something that I know
She would not let her former self-go
Writing on the walls I always saw the sign
To cross, she would never the borderline

Love once knocked on my door
But now she knocks there no more
I lift my glass to her I've toasted
She was my life I once boasted

The task at hand was truly daunted
But she was all I ever wanted
Her fragrance I am truly haunted
Even still the birds me they've taunted

These were the best days of my life
I could've, I should've, and I would've made her my wife
But with me, she could never be
No one left now to love only me

Her love I could never really claim
Life without her will never be the same
My love, I fought hard to contain
For the love I have will always remain

I still love her more than words could ever speak
When she walked in the room my knees would go weak
The honeybees still whisper sunshine's name
From the mountains to the hills I was ready to exclaim

I would make her laugh or cry with the words I wrote down
Her affect on me was truly profound
She is life and the breath that I took
The precious melodies I once wrote in my songbook

She is way hotter than July
She can cause and egg to fry
She made me sweat on the coldest of days
She made my body shiver when she touched me in certain ways

I have loved her from the start of creation
She fills my wildest imagination
From dimly lit streets to darken allays
I shall love her for now and alway
