This is actually a picture of my back garden

* * * * *

Step inside my heart
And look deep inside my soul
I'm just a shadow of myself
For love has taken its toll

I once bloomed like a flower
In a garden filled with love
You were the reason for my happiness
You helped to lift me high above

Long ago I felt invincible
My days were always bright
But now there are only memories
To keep me warm at night

You put me high upon a pedestal
And told me that I was the one
I never entertained the notion
You'd deprive my days of sun

The cold winds now envelop me
As I seek shelter from the storm
The arms that once embraced me
No longer keep me warm

One day I'll find a rainbow
And all the colors will return
But for now I'll keep a vigil
As my love for you still burns

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Sue, fact or fiction...no matter...for I
do believe all or many have that burn at
times for a flame that was once kindled..

Such are memories made of...

Love the garden, looks very nice, very
colorful...

I felt your words on this one, as though I could've written this myself, but not as nicely as you did. Hugs to you my friend.

Oh Sue, I knew I would just love this the moment I saw the title. I think so many of us have been there.

And I do love that garden of yours. When can I come for tea?

Hugs my friend...

I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this one and I forgot to mention that you're all invited for afternoon tea. I'll just go and put the coffee on and make a cake!

Take care....Sue

Oh Sue, The garden is lovely. The poem is very sad. So, when I come to tea, (you did invite) we'll sit and talk and pour our hearts out to each other and then we'll feel better. Loved the poem

by the way, I like my tea cold with a bit of mint.
