My Seceret LoveMy seceret love for a life time, I have loved you from afar, even though to this day, I know not where you are. Wanda Lee, we went our separate ways at a very young and tender age. The paths of our lives have never again crossed, and those days have turned to years, but I promised that our love would live forever and a day. Each and every day, I search the crowded streets in hope that I’ll see your smiling grace and hoping you might recognize my aging face. In my dreams I still see you… back, back in time when we should have written love letters in the school yard sand. After all these lonely years, our initials still remain carved on the trunk of that old oak tree. Our love should have been as sweet as cherry wine and run so true and so free. Then the winds of war took me away… you were young and couldn't wait for the promise of our love to devlop someday, so you married young and moved away. Oh! If only we could capture time in a bottle but time is just dust in the wind, here now and gone tomorrow and life goes on… I often wonder if you ever look for me in the crowds, the subways or on the busy city streets. I can still see you standing there, dressed in white Spanish lace, your auburn hair flowing down your back to your tiny waist. If we never meet again, my aching heart will surly shatter, break and never mend. I wish you happiness, I wish you success, and most of all... I wish you love. And may the sun always shine on your side of the street, and someday by chance, on a crowded street or maybe at a school reunion our eyes in a passing glance once again meet. My Darling Wanda Lee, no matter how far, I send you my unwavering love on the morning star. Jackie R. Kays Copyright…2004 Revised-07 Vote for this poem
