I Wonder

with thoughts
  of my heart once
    so young
love-wondered
  it dwelled upon
    enamoured flight

of words
   motionless
     and I, unstirred

this heart
  never broken
while young enough
to learn and heal
the way youthful
hearts do

in wonderment
of 24 years
  before  discovering
   how it felt
    to love
     and be loved

20 years
of flowering
   I ponder
      of
first love delayed

  will it be my last?

is it possible
that a heart minus
   youths lessons
    ever
      really
        learns to heal?

I wonder

Prometheus and Dark Angel,

Wonderful writing by you both!!!  Very much enjoyed this one.  Don't we all ask ourselves the same questions?

Splutter...splutter...cough cough...no big ego? Errrrrrrrrrrrrr...yeah, ok....

I won't mention all the times I saw with my own eyes the emergence of dear M's ego...

HAHA...actually, you know what Jamie - you are absolutely correct - that is a very true statement...too humble sometimes actually...
