Bridges burned, and lessons learned- Are part of growing old. Along with cynical regards- For what our futures hold. Choices made, and trusts betrayed- Those we’ve left behind... Carve their sorrows on our face, Leave scars within our mind. Roads untraveled, lives unraveled- And foolish, vain regrets... Haunt our dreams, disturb our sleep, It seems we can’t forget... Though it’s sad, I guess I’m glad- We only live one time. And leave a lot of painful lessons, Written in our rhyme. Visit My Home Page http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/Hompage.html |

This is a great poem. Gets me to think about where I am in life and such. I was hoping to see this is Dark Passions for it is dark indeed. Great work. Ronil (What I say I live by and what I live by is what I create). |

Gunslinger, I can always be assured that upon opening one of your treasures I will find wisdom, reflection, rhythm and rhyme, all done up in a remarkable, eloquent parcel. This is wonderful writing. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

What you leave in your rhyme may have been hard-learned, but it sure does read easy! *S* Great job, GS! |

I think some of the world's best poetry is born from deep pain. This ranks among the best! And God only knows who can be helped through its wisdom. Excellent, as usual, John! p.s. Did you get my messages via email and ICQ? I'll check back with you tomorrow night. Denise |

Nothing like a cowboy philospher to get to the heart of things. Good work, 'slinger. |
