As I look upon the diamond strewn sky
And listen to the waves of the dark,
deep ocean crash upon the rocks...
As I feel the cool of the breeze across my face
And I smell the honeysuckle-sweet fragrance
of the beach...

My mind drifts back
Back to a time
A time long ago
A time I wish had never ended...

Now my senses
They've gone mad
Giving me such strong sensations
Sensations of when you were here with me...
As I remember each and every touch,
Every sound,
All the smells,
All of which combined renders my
heart helpless...

I've nowhere to turn
Nowhere to go that I can escape
from these feelings
These emotions that have taken control...
And now I sit and gaze at the stars
as they dance  above...

In them I see you
I see your eyes
They too dance

They dance and shimmer
As they swim behind the tears that are welling up
They are seen in my minds' eye
as never before...

My mind is now captive
A captive in a cell of memories...
Memories that shall not cease
Memories of an unforgotten past
A past that shall never again be...

All the diamonds of the sky
become blurry
As tears wrap around my eyes
And then I weep...
I weep for my love
Lost now to the eternity
that is forever...

As the time passes
I am still left in the past
with my memories...
Left there
Where Loves' ugly face
tears my heart to bits
each day
And each day brings me a little closer
to forever


GOD's greatist gift is LOVE

beautiful poetry...sad and yet the memories are a treasure unto themselves...Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

I would like to thank you all for your kind words. It was written at a very happy time in my life, I just feel that it is too bad that that time has passed....

the good times come back if we let them. this was how i felt just a few short weeks ago...memories never leave us so we need to remember the good and let the bad go. very nicely written.

a lovely write. to really love and lose it simply through fate is a misery that burys deep.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
