“………..pointing to a star”

 
 
The night sky was a deep black with blazing stars
over the Master and His disciples
this particular night along the sea of Galilee.
It was a time of quiet contemplation of the beauty of God’s work.
 
Within the group of His disciples
one disciple had a troubling question.
With reverence he approached the Master with his question.
“Does God’s Love for us have bounds when remembering our sins in His Eternal Memory?”
asked the disciple quietly as to not disturb the other men in the group.
 
The Master lifted His Head toward the night sky
and pointed His finger to a bright star saying,
“As you look upon the stars in the night sky
many have long changed in form
and are no more. 
 
The distance is so great in the travel of that light
that we still see those suns prior to their changing of form. 
So it is in the breath of God’s Love for us
it is also beyond the width
depth and height of such distances from us.
 
Since His Love for us is unconditional
so is His memory of our sins.
In asking His forgiveness of our sins
their memory no longer exists in eternity.”
So spoke that night
the Master of My Life.

“I Think of You More Than Ever” copyright 2013 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

I think of you more than ever.
Yesterday was a bad day in my life.
I clung desperatedly to memories of you.
 
I remembered in deep detail
our first real time together
when we first kissed.
 
O how I prayed to be returned
to that moment in my life.
Truly knowing what I know now.
We would be together today.
 
Perhaps second chances
are the gifts of our afterlife.
If after death
my fondest wish
is granted by my Lord.
 
Let that moment return
with me in your arms again.
Let my lips return to that
moment that my lips met yours.
At last a chance
to make my life
right again.

“I Will Never Be Loved Like That Again” copyright 2011 John J. Rigo, upcoming book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

The realization brought a choking to my throat.
My eyes swelled in tears.
The realization came to me fully
that I will never be loved like that again.
 
The youthful memory of having a woman look at me like that again.
The reflection of a hero in her eyes.
Reflected also in the shining armor of a knight.
 
Ah sweet memories
if only the taste of those kisses
could return again,
would I know again
the joy of love.
