You came to me in my dream
I remembered once again who I was
The memory of a life long dead
With you gone long cold
I lost the last of my past
I was free to lose everything
I stare at the dead ground ahead
Lifeless and barren it stands
But I could give you once last hug
You gave me one last gift
A simple feeling of not being alone
Just one last contact with the world
You are a ghost
You are a dream
Yet you are the most real thing
The only anchor I had until you went
Washed away in life's stream
Now I'm left alone once again
To lose that life once again
Yet indelibly you are printed
On my heart and my memory
Your ghost hand on my heart
Forever guiding and leading me.

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

Walter, I see that we are in the same boat. No one cares to to deal with us. You speak of a lost love, I speak of nature denied. Maybe we will catch fire tomorrow.

Walter your testimony to the power of love is awsome. I hope that power was acknowleged in life. It is precious and the kind of love I hope to be making in my own husband's heart.

The memories of a lost love always haunt us ... and 'they' says time will make it better. I say NOT. Thanks for your words.

thanks for the poem, you made a beautiful encounter, a great french poet wrote, il n' y a pas d'amour heureux (there is no happy love), but memories keep us alive and poetry make it beautiful, thanks

This is so loving and full of heart... certain people make all the difference in our lives.

I also like your signature quote.
