Friend... For days uncounted You have been lost; Roaming seldom seen passages of your own heart, Vainly reaching In the darkness, Withdrawing your grasp and holding nothing. And then you see a light; Eager for the warmth, The beautiful light... You run so fast, Try so hard, And let logic step aside, Just for a moment, And let slip; Your dreams come tumbling down, And all sight leaves you: You are again lost; Lost sight of the future Lost all care about the past... Loss for words, and a .44 in your hand.... [This message has been edited by the romantic fanatic (edited 08-05-2000).] |

Ah, how well we know the pain of watching a friend in trouble, desperate. Life... so difficult... sometiems rewarding, sometimes not. I guess we all just do the best we can. Your words for your friend show your heart... that you care and are worried. I'm positive your friend appreciates this, knowing that someone else cares enough to notice their pain. Welcome to Passions "romantic fanatic!" There are many friends here as well. I know I for one will be looking forward to more posts by you! Chris |

Hello romantic fanatic.... It is good to read words of caring from one friend to another. Your friend should feel very fortunate that you're standing by.....that's hard to come by (everywhere but right here!!) Welcome to Passions, the place where friends share and grow!! I have but one goal in life......... To make you smile! ~~ Sunny ~~ |

Deep Deep sighhhhhh...Welcome romantic... I can relate to your friend except for the .44..when I felt this way a while back Self-Loss Maybe it's the loneliness The words of silent love That once when heard Had filled the space That's emptiest now of. Maybe it's the noiseless sounds That fill my head with doubt The lack of touch, Caressing skin The loving done without. Maybe it's the loss of you At least so says my mind The busy always, elsewhere though I've losses I can't find. Maybe it's the loss of me The one of years back when A smile was all I needed shared to love and love again. To me it's now a searching game Of hide and seek, you'll find I'm always writing words of wish Of memories left behind. ~~soft smiles Maureen |

Welcome to Passions! This is so powerful.....the last line of course knocks the wind out of you...To watch a friend go through this is harder than going through it yourself I think....atleast it is for me. I'm looking forward to many more......An excellent entrance~ |

I was once much like the friend you write about. It was only because of the people who love me that I could close that chapter of my life. People at that point of depression don't realizes that the ones they love love them back. You've proved it nicely in this poem. And if by any chance you have written about yourself without admitting it(I sometimes do) remember, people do love you. You have many friends, some right here at Passions. Great first post. Hugs and Kisses, Paula |

I think everyone can relate to the "roaming", then the spark of hope, and the eagerness....then the fall. Seems to be the cycle we all live over and over...You really portrayed some deep thoughts in this. I felt it. Welcome, as the others have said, and I too, will be looking for more of your works! Thanks for sharing such an emotional piece. |

very nicely written. Passionate feelings. Hugs, Heather Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish. With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories. |
