come SIT and watch ...

SANDS OF TIME
By N. Mark Castro

I have traveled through the sands of time,

Where no man had ventured willingly,

I have seen what no man would want to see

Where the vast terrain of nothingness

Embrace you with loneliness;

 

I know what it is to walk the empty road

Where the lamp lights the street

But darkness covers everything.

 

I know what it is to be lonely;

And to come home to an empty bed

I have looked into the eye of emptiness;

And felt the cold kiss of ice.

 

I know what it is to lose someone;

And what it is like not to be chosen.

I know what it is like to send the woman you

Love,

Straight to the altar but not with you;

 

I have seen what few people dare see,

And I have welcomed it the way stones

Welcome the water

Turning, turning, turning the way icebergs

Become One

With the cold sea.

 

I have stolen hearts, broken hearts, shattered dreams,

And left women;

I have given my life, sacrificed myself, served with humility,

And placed her above all others;

I have been both the Sinner and the Saint … in life and in love.

 

But through it all, whenever I look and wonder at the sky,

I search for my star, just one star … and be reminded of

A time that had never gone by … because it was a time that never

Got started

And yet here it is, right before me, invisible as it may be,

It has ended

 

I look at all these things, and I stare at the star

That glob of light, that twinkle of hope, that messenger of dreams

But not for me;

 

I look at that star, and I look at her picture

In my mind, in my heart, in my soul

I look at that star

And I see Sita's face …

 

Better men, richer men, smarter men may come in and out of her life

They will seek her, plead with her, beguile her to join their beds

In the end they will never find her

For she'll always be inside my heart …
