Ode To Dugan-Time Poem by Marie WardAlonge

His boldness, his unbridled expressions-he exudes with confidence.
I am inspired but yet, lost-lost in all his splendors.
Will he hold me captive forever?
Time knows, I say.
I am convinced when I look into his eyes, time for me, loses its existence.

With love and hope within me, I am apprehensive.
I question his faithfulness.
In his presence, I feel worthy.
Alone, my thoughts of him are magnificent but complicated.

From him, I sought an answer.
Our love, I am certain is in peril.
In this short time, I have loved you unconditionally.
Will you reciprocate?
You love me you concluded but you needed time.

With those words, my life carried on but your life sadly, ended.
Time lost its patience and I can now say goodbye, my friend.
