Ours was a love That crossed over time Much like the words Now found in this rhyme I sit here and think Of where to begin To try to explain My memories of Lynn I think of it all The good and the bad The times I felt joy And the times I felt sad Looking back on it now I'll never regret it And I know there's no way I'll ever forget it Her times with me I felt such a power I lived an eternity In only one hour I felt such a bond Between her and I A bond so powerful It caused me to cry I could sit there forever Just lost in her gaze Being beside her Throughout all the days But those days are over Of this I now know Like retreating summer From first winter's snow I do sorely miss her Of that I confess But even our friendship Is now but a mess I try not to love her But find I can not Because of the things To me she had taught I wish her the best That's all I can say And always good fortune To come on her way My feelings for her I've locked deep within So now I'll just cherish My memories of Lynn G. A. Webb Regret not that which you have done, Rather that which you haven't |

Any love regardless of how it ends is worth cherishing to remember fondly always. Enjoy your stroll down memory lane tonight!!  *Friendship is a horizon - which expands whenever we approach it...* ~Isis~Goddess~~Sovereign of the Spirit~ |

I read this over a couple of times....it was bitter sweet for me personally. First let me say, any lady would be thrilled to have a man feel this way about her....that is if they tell (and show) her those feelings when they are together. But both men and women sometimes do not say what they really feel until after the fact! This one hit home with me because, my name is Lynne...only with an e on the end.....and I had a relationship, I had wished the other partner had felt this way....it almost related. We all have our sorrows...but your poetry was very well written and spoken from the heart, and I enjoyed it alot! Thank you! Oh ......have you showed this to her? |

Isis: Thank you, but I don't know if I can really enjoy my "stroll down memory lane" because it's bitter sweet at best. I try to just remember the "good times" but even that is hard for me because I knew then that she would never want me for anything more than the affair that we had. I can't fault her for that. I can only say that I vowe never to let myself be so foolish as to trust a woman with my heart and allow myself to fall in love again, it's just not worth it. Love is but an illusion and a fleeting one at that. Thank you. ILLUSION: I wouldn't say that "any lady would be thrilled to have a man feel this way about her". On the contrary, the women I've encountered throughout my life only respond to jerks and those are the ones they fall in love with. I did express my feeling for her every time I was with her and more improtantly I showed her. Talk is cheep, actions speak volumes. But my love wasn't good enough, she basically told me that. She was more in love with a drug addict ex-boyfriend and her mentally abusive husband then she was with me. I was just an expierance for her. She told me that I touched her soul, but she loved them more than me...go figure that one out. I can't and have given up trying. The bottom line is...the "nice guys" are always relegated to being "just friends" and are doomed to have their good nature be taken advantage of and are taken for granted. Where as the "A-holes" get the women to fall madly in love with them even though they're being treated like garbage. It doesn't make any sense to me, but sadly, that's the way it is. I'm not going to show this to her because it wouldn't make any difference. The only why she'll ever see this is if she looks me up through netpoets and dose a search to find me works. I know that will never happen. I used to give her all my writing because it was her that brought it out and inspired me. Nobody had ever effected me that way before. But I don't think my words hold any weight with her any more. If anything, they'd be a nuisance. She's happy with her life right back where it was before she met me, without me, and I'm happy for her. It's not too often in life that one is given a second chance to be with the one you truely love and she was given just that, good for her. I, on the other hand, am forced to walk away left with only anger, lonelyness, sorrow and the questions that go with those. That's why I primarily write what I like to call "anti-love" poems and dawn a black robe for my poetry. Love is not a many splendor things, rather it's a lie or as I said before to Isis, an illusion. Therefore I consider myself to be a very dark poet. From time to time I've been known to write a positive piece or two, but for now darkness and despair are the only things coming out of me. Perhaps in time I'll find another that will inspire me to write about love again...I wonder when? Thank you so much for sharing you feelings with me. I'm happy to know that this piece moved you. Thanks again! catalina: Thank you my dear. I always love when you read my work. I will not show this to Lynn and if you want to know why, read my responce to Illusion. Thank you again and take care! < !signature-->Regret not that which you have done, Rather that which you haven't [This message has been edited by G. A. Webb (edited 09-14-2000).] |
