Wow what an inspiration you have been Mark.....I just can't get enough...just a few lines can get my imagination running....thank you for this challenege it has been fun....

if and when
have come and gone
and gone
is here to taunt
i am tired and broken
can't give forever
another thought
through tear stained eyes
and lovers lies
never a compromise
all the bitterness and pain
through countless hours
i felt my energy drain
the fire blew out long ago
sorry i didn't let you know
tommorrow hath forsaken us
yesterday gone in a rush
and on that perfumed scented letter
i told you it was for the better
and a strange wind was blowing
through that open door
i knew what was coming
felt it to the bitter core
destiny wasn't held up in your hand
we left our hearts buried in the sand
if and when we always said
now they have come and gone
all has washed away
gone is here to taunt us
through another day

Good writing, can you hear the applause echoing around the stadium. To the victor goes the spoils.

Be well

Applause for sure...running the mile under "3" minutes now ......A WORLD RECORD BY ALMOST A FULL MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!  Cheers and waves of human bodies thrown across the stadium.  GOLD MEDAL GOLD MEDAL GOLD MEDAL!!!!!!!!

You have taken this and run with it well.  Astounding creation from you and I am so happy you joined.  Now what have you got for the remaining ones.  I want you back out there and bringing home another gold.  You got it going now go and get it.
