In my way i will remember
all the long cold dead days
forever haunted by memories
Of what i could have had

Of that summer morn
When love did spring
from daffodils fragrant heads
and the blackbirds wing

As i look to the past
And i see you there
in that dress of white
a tear wells in my dead eyes

i rise looking down
At what i was my shell
in the autumn of my days
i am alone with my thoughts

I see the love i had
Diminished to a dim light
hold my soul in its place
unable to leave you now

But you are the past
And i am a whisper on the wind
no future is for me and my love
as winter fast approachs

The sun has gone
As i gaurd the cold world
its time long dead and past
and i look to the stars

She is out there i know
For she cannot die
and she eternal passes
life to life alone

How i miss her
I miss what i was
And the dreams i had
When summer came upon us


Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis y

walter, this is beautiful
touching verse of treasured memories,
sometimes someone touches us in a way
that never leaves us..
this poem of yours brought to mind a favorite song of mine..
it speaks of the same emotions
you so perfectly express here....


~On The Sea~


No fog clear in the moonlight
The stars shine so bright now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face
Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you
And held you close
Now I will reach for the stars
Because Oh my love, that's where you are


Chorus:
Though the storms of black night rage on
I still see your face
I still feel your lips on mine
And though my heart feels all alone without you
I still hear you sing to me
I still hear your voice on the sea

Waves crash break the silence
Gulls cry a song of lament
I walk on through the stormy night
The air cries flash of anger
Dark night enshrouds the stranger all alone without you
Now I will reach for the stars
Because Oh my love, that's where you are

Chorus


from Live Stages

~Vertical Horizon~

This was a very enjoyable poem to read.
Sometimes the memories come to us sadly.
But we cherish that we remember at all.
You used some really wonderful phrases
to tell of your remembering.


*If the shoe fits ... the castle is yours*
