If and when my heart's broken
how will I ever know
bruised by bitterness, my token
of never letting go.

If and when my mind returns
from the desert dust
I'll not reside with acid burns
and maybe learn to trust.

If and when my life should cease
would I  be missed the more
or lonely go to dark's release
and sobbing close the door.

If and when have come and gone
and gone is here to taunt
no more moments in the sun
or my humaneness flaunt.


"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

The silent deaths of our hearts are never mourned as much by any other than our own spirit.  This is one of the fall backs of love but the eternal glow of the memories we carry with us are more than enough to see us through it all.  The heavenly bliss of just once knowing love is something to cherish and unfortunately many never feel this power and live in death all their life.  Be thankful to have loved at all.  It is the most you will get from this life and there is one love that will always be with you.....all you must do is look and accept.

Lovely and heartfelt....another gold for you and now you have your crystal trophey case as well....all four met with resounding cheers.
