Obligation or love, I demand you. It is possible for both to genuinely persist. Time is all that remains—Join me, don't let it slip. Fleeting moments of flawed interactions, it's a lot of pressure, so many unrealistic measures. A long marriage can't be what happened. Is it an obligation? We are Wed but not whole—just fractions. Does obligation masquerade as love? Drench me in affection. Time’s fading ... ENOUGH.... Half a decade, and I’ve felt you escaping. Time binds my heart; with bitter intuition, I’m begging to escape it. I need you to face me. All the FIGHTING is for you. My fear, you were my safety. Obligation or Love, are we divided?

Our affection in question, you remain dismissive. Confidence drowns you with no words, no kissing. Clasping me. Your unspoken energy is staggering. Demanding of me, Abrading my fear, curating my thoughts back to us. A cluster of memories adrift, drafting clear thoughts. I’m unhappy, the downer, the anchor to our drifting, silent sea.

Who are we? We are the sum of the influence we have, the love, and the arrogance we display on others. As your date of birth approaches, my love deepens, taunting thoughts are racing against time, wallowing in the why-how could it be. I realized 15 Years ago, we chose to walk the same path. As one thought settles in my heart, I grumble on a million other thoughts. “Lifequake.” My right person, wrong time? The questions flip as thoughts race against time. Has our journey fulfilled its purpose? The silence coming from you, I choose to love you in that silence because in your silence, I find no rejection. When I open up, it's not because I’m mad or trying to put you down, it’s because I FEEL REJECTED You're not alone as a wife; I chose to love you. Mothers love because you’re their child. Siblings love because you’re their brother. I love you because I chose you! But that doesn't entitle me to have you. (L.E. Bowman) – Poem Once wrote – And I quote I guess it isn’t fair to blame you. I kept pouring myself into your palms even as I watched all that I was leak through your fingers LOUD ---NO--- I said But Still You let go before I knew we were falling. Knowingly, I was still holding on to a future you had already decided to step away from. Now, I’m searching for words and direction as I wander lost in the dark with only the dim glow of my lost heart.

Temptations linger in the air A longing glance A vacant stare A dance of hearts now out of key I wallow in the echoes Deep Distant memories I cannot keep A fractured soul A broken heart Detached all that we once knew Estranged our love I thought was true ................ Yet still Temptations softly call Whispering through the rising wall

Broken me not Broken I forgot Abandoned alone my childhood disowned Survival self-taught Weathered storms so cold Broken I forgot A journey alone I fought and fought Words to decompress Breakthroughs who forgot Insight brings light Questions unanswered Broken me not New life New bonds No more struggling in silence Using words as a weapon Strengthen my mind The world not forgotten my revival profound Broken past in the open Broken me not Reborn my word tree I sit endlessly think A million questions revived I question WHO ME Off-subject life continues my words........ Help ME

*Obligation or Love: Can They Coexist?** Can obligation and love truly coexist Is it possible for both to genuinely persist Time is all that remains—yet I find it slipping away A fleeting moment a transient display Is it duty or love that we’ve been fed Can obligation wear the mask that one truly cares is love a promise destructed no spare Times... life whispers ... Are you still there As time binds the heart these ties are so tough Is love merely what we've chosen or beliefs to ignite a refuge we cling a web we've woven Obligation or love— is all but a question To genuinely believe Or a table present Challenging time a game to conquer

My poem tumbles down the page A storm of thoughts a restless cage . . . My mind so clear Yet you’re a brainstorm away Lost in the echoes of words we couldn’t say Our love has captured decades All I asked is it time to turn a page As time slipped by I sit in wonder You abandoned our life as dreams have spun Leaving us stranded when we could’ve begun Standing still the world moves fast The past a shadow that couldn’t last Now all that’s left is quiet as you refrain A love once alive words never the same

A quiet breeze through branches sways, Whispers in the tangled maze. The moonlight dances, silver and bright, Guiding steps through the endless night. Stars above in distant gleam, Shine upon a silent heart. Ripples form and drift away, Carrying secrets where shadows play. The earth hums low, a timeless song, Where no face is seen, yet all is known, In the quiet, hearts have grown. Thought time pivots the unknown persuades. .......

Gloomy Night

A quiet breeze through branches sways, Whispers in the tangled maze. The moonlight dances, silver and bright, Guiding steps through the endless night. Stars above in distant gleam, Shine upon a silent heart. Ripples form and drift away, Carrying secrets where shadows play. The earth hums low, a timeless song, Where no face is seen, yet all is known, In the quiet, hearts have grown. Thought time pivots the unknown persuades. .......

In silence love is a ghost cold and detached Whispers are lost estranged in a world so cold where warmth once burned but now simmers to a dim glow In time we have been challenged the ashes encourage growth.

Time unwinds crashing thoughts bind reverse control we all ask why We question man pride-slammed come to realize let's take a stand Blemished NAH Time is planned Our words are used against us With deepest thoughts, ignorance is taught this world will die and stupidity is why we choose it I clear my throat and release all hope I know the universe has our definition.
