Waitingwithout loving you
I can live without peace or war
can live without always wanting more
I can fall asleep on a kitchen floor
or deep inside some bedroom door
can sometimes forget everything I knew
but I can't live a day
without loving you
I can live without a heart on fire
can live without satisfying every desire
I can tip toe across love's highest wire
and know how truth creates a liar
can sometimes forget or misconstrue
but I can't live a day
without loving you
I can live without feeling old
can live without icy winter's cold
I can be brave in courage without being bold
like the hero of a story left untold
can sometimes forget my point of view
but I can't live a day
without loving you
I can live without the rags of hope
can live without life's slippery slope
I can sometimes laugh and sometimes mope
sometimes dangle at the end of my rope
can sometimes forget how to make it through
but I can't live a day
without loving you
can live without always wanting more
I can fall asleep on a kitchen floor
or deep inside some bedroom door
can sometimes forget everything I knew
but I can't live a day
without loving you
I can live without a heart on fire
can live without satisfying every desire
I can tip toe across love's highest wire
and know how truth creates a liar
can sometimes forget or misconstrue
but I can't live a day
without loving you
I can live without feeling old
can live without icy winter's cold
I can be brave in courage without being bold
like the hero of a story left untold
can sometimes forget my point of view
but I can't live a day
without loving you
I can live without the rags of hope
can live without life's slippery slope
I can sometimes laugh and sometimes mope
sometimes dangle at the end of my rope
can sometimes forget how to make it through
but I can't live a day
without loving you
ahhh where would be without the love?

Pure perfection ... your words ... the music ... the photo. You constantly amaze me and I thank you.
ReplyDelete... my heart beats silently and measures a timelessness and it can't stop to love ... a poem that is a live fragment of a big heart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem to start off the New Year. You are such a talented writer Kennedy.

ReplyDeleteA winter flu/cold has put me out of commission for a few days ... it's getting better, but my head is still a bit foggy ... well, more foggy than usual ...
DeleteThanks for asking ...
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I thought that might be the case when you did not show up for a few days. You know you are missed very much when you are not here, but the important thing is for you to take care of yourself and get well.
DeleteThanks for taking time to let me know.
So beautiful. Moving.
