My Sacred Place By Paul Wilson I come here quiet often too be alone with my thoughts of you Seems like lately most of my time is spent reliving all we use to do Memories of you drift by on storm clouds as the sky turns an ugly gray Emptiness is all I feel in my heart since you went away Where have you gone my love who will dry these tears I cry Visions of you running thru my mind I will love you till the day I die This lonely road I travel each day brings me to my sacred place Memories of you comfort me but you my love...they will never replace Sand in the hour glass running out tomorrow may find me out of time I feel your presence as I visit this sacred place of mine Stay with me a while longer let your presence bring me comfort Give me hope for eternity till we are together you and me ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

WOW!!! for fiction you can really touch the heart...don't say sorry for the tears...it is the sign of a great writer when he can bring forth such strong emotions with his words...well done. |

I love it Paul! The escape is survival from the hurt. I think we all have a place like that for one reason or another. Well done! I could feel the depth. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

Paul so well you anticipate the possible ache in words that paint the picture too well. Thanks for this. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

This is a fictional poem? Thats a lot of emotion for fiction - wonderfully done. The image of a man sitting at his wife's grave came to mind, him sitting at his "sacred place" reading your words out loud. -Trina |

Maybe someday I will write again, but for now all I have is my memories of better days when my Muse would visit me. Thanks again...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

I read this when it was first posted Paul and it choked me up pretty bad. To say I can relate might be the understatement of the year. This is a pure pouring out of the heart, and of the soul, and I felt every word of it. That's what poetry is supposed to be, my friend.  Michael |
