I want to thank Lone Wolf for honoring me with her incredible talent once again


I No Longer See The Beacon

As I gaze into the sky tonight
I'm wondering where you are
If it would bring you home again
I'd wish on every star

My wish would be for only you
To you my heart belongs
I've always known you were the one
To help me finish life's song

Without the melody of your love
The moon no longer shines
The sky has turned to darkest black
In the end , I guess love really is blind

I no longer see the beacon
Of the lighthouse that once was us
The harbor is now barren
So, where do I turn for trust?


 All my love,
Jeffrey

I lie awake in a world filled with dreams,
but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep

Thanks Marge,

I think we have decided to try to write together at least once a week.

Glad you enjoyed it

a wonderful poem, another great collaboration

Without the melody of your love
The moon no longer shines
The sky has turned to darkest black
In the end , I guess love really is blind

I no longer see the beacon
Of the lighthouse that once was us
The harbor is now barren
So, where do I turn for trust?

Wow you two!  This is incredible...filled with such sorrow.  Gorgeous work, keep it up!
