Mere Mortal

Paul Bell

Ah, Timothy dear friend
Did she steal your heart
Cut you with those razor eyes of beauty
Break you in two
You’re just a man, mere mortal
Never in this world could you tie her down
No jewels, no cars, no house
Just free to take your soul
But you’ve been lucky, dear friend
Bittersweet, it may feel
No flesh to console
Just a heavy heart
Ah, Timothy dear friend
The game of love is cruel
But would you change it
No
We all want to be on
If only for a time
That beautiful journey.

      A journey I've been on for 60 years and I wouldn't change a minute of it. So well expressed Paul.

            Wow Paul. That line, "Cut you with those razor eyes of beauty." I love this poem. We're all searching for love and it kinda seems like it slips through our hands every time. You've crafted this finely.

              Love sure is a slippery animal.
