Left Alone We traveled together along the road of life love our destination I drove you wild with desire and you drove me crazy with your passion We mapped out uncharted territories with our hands and lips leaving trails on each other’s bodies We traveled together crossing oceans of longing mountains of fear and rivers of regret But somewhere along the way we made a wrong turn Now you’re traveling on and I’m left alone in the back seat of your mind (The challenge from Lost Dreamer was to use the line "left alone in the back seat of your mind " in a poem. Just a little interesting fact, this poem can be read two ways, using or not using the indented lines) < !signature--> The poet's job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name, to tell the truth in such a beautiful way that people cannot live without it. ~Jane Kenyon [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 03-14-2000).] |

...and we have no choice, but to start that engine one more time, do we?... You say a lot here, hoot. You never know - the next ride may be the best you've ever had..  |

Hoot~ This is just fascinating not only the words you use but the format is intriguing too. Much said here in both lovely poems. You are wonderfully gifted. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
