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. .......

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.

The storm blew through
You can see forever
Stars gaze through
You can see forever
Swayed by the moon
You can see forever
Irrevocable wish I need you
You can see forever
Yet time I wait for you
Adieu

In the dance of shadows bodies entwined
Two souls converge their rhythms aligned
Whispers like silk the night softly sighs
In the heat of the moment passion ignites
Forgiveness no wonder our lust as our guide
We ****** on each other friendship for LIFE

Tapering time...
Words lies
Conversations died
Shoulders shrug in hopes that explains WHY
Examples memorialized
No more kisses bye
I turn I feel
Pondering emotions
I'm shrinking Inside
YOU
Not knowing this died died died

Indigenous!
Belong, in place.
Eligible to be? (Unpaid)
Tracing comfort. (confronted)
Distribute all rawness.
Attribute all peace.
Abolish odd disturbances.
Against all odds, shadowing perspective.
Feeling at ease... Just ME! (Relieved)
Canvased in dirt immersed in blood. (Rituals)
Unleash the royal beast.
Reveal all - ME. (Lead)
Smudged, focused on the challenge.
Do you see?
ME?

SHHHHHHH!
Silence conveys
Society Plays'
Rebellious oppositions'
taking position.
Disposition
Could you listen?
Defensive?
No
Chanting
No
Raving
All the labels keep us
Phrased
in moments of wonder for sure, a bit fazed.
Cured by clouds of HAZE
influenced by the world
Touché
