 Uploaded with ImageShack.us secrets not forgotten displayed for me to see upon a giant screen when you are in the room breath upon my neck though you're forever gone I lose myself forget for a moment who I am as the scent of your preferred perfume tickles my nose makes me sneeze I hear your gentle laugh as before its at times like these I search for the good about us the glowing sheen of your olive skin, searching brown eyes quirky smile the other recollections will, I am sure chase out the good so I savor each moment impatient to reach out for you knowing only empty air will meet my grasp I ease myself from the porch swing amid creaks and groans I walk inside, turn on the TV hoping to chase those other memories the bad ones away I hardly ever do ©October 1, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton |

If only the sweet didn't come with that bit of bitter. Your love and remorse are brilliantly expressed. Lori |

again the ghosts... I can honestly say I feel your ache in this one. I won't offer a hug, but maybe a nod of understanding is in order. Do you realize your at the head of the table yet? Michael |

so I savor each moment impatient to reach out for you knowing only empty air will meet my grasp This aches, bone deep... I can feel the fingers closing on nothing... and the heart stab that brings. |
