The Lingered Wish ~~~ Ten thousand pounds of solid rock crash down against the floor The beaming light of yesterday is blocked for evermore The loss of several happy years collapse a fragile mind A heart destroyed before the dawn leaves bitter tears behind ~ Ten thousand dreams of days to come just dust clouds in the rain All scattered o'er the sea of tears where hopes are cast in vain The treasured sights together sought forsaken ... waste away Regardless of the lingered wish That quickly fades to gray ~ Ten thousand blissful days engram are lost for evermore The spark of love gives way to lack and seals the heavy door Emotions froze to deathly state evade approaching day But hearts encased in solid stone never bleed again ... they say ~~~ |

Wonderfully written poem. I enjoyed your images and message a lot. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today" ~Broadway Musical RENT~ *Cassandra Roseen* |

Ten thousand blissful days engram are lost for evermore The spark of love gives way to lack and seals the heavy door Emotions froze to deathly state evade approaching day But hearts encased in solid stone never bleed again ... they say ~~~ love is a risk..the greatest risk you can take..but take it..dont let your heart be incased in stone... !! great write! hugs,g "oh baby baby, its a wild world..its hard to get by just upon a smile..." cat stevens |

So beautiful and so sorrowful, extremely well penned. Sad to say, but even I have allowed the bitterness of love to leave my heart encased in stone, I do relate. I just love that you're posting your oldies, but goodies for us again Take care, Melissa The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Painfully beautiful. I am a fan of rhyme, and this piece holds true to the reason I favor it so! Wonderful write here. With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |
