Easy Remembering ~*Marge Tindal*~ Today you returned to rest upon my cheek as a tear After all this time it caught me in amaze As I reached up to brush you away you clung to my fingertips I caressed you smiling with easy-remembering at all the wonderful thoughts you left with me It was then I realized that even though we aren't together you were worth remembering Somewhere I think the same song is playing my memory for you I just wanted to let you know it's okay ... ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Corinne~ Honest .. it sneaked right up on me. It was really a sweet surprise that I was flooded with so many memories of a super relationship. The smiles outnumber the tears ... Thanks, hon. I already knew you would like it ... LoneWolf~ It really was a pleasant experience once the memories started flooding their way to my heart. Thank you, I like the way it flowed to the page and am glad each person has found a memory in it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Great feelings, Marge. I am so deeply moved that I am committing a crime puting down whatever flows...same kind of thoughts...inspired by your poem...I don't even know if this is going to be any good... ------------- My dear, if you want to leave, Just leave the way you came, like a wave My dear, if going is what you wish, Please go where you wish, like a fish. Precious friend, while you go, I think you must know That many times you will return, With each tear-drop, my eyes that would churn. Take care my dear friend, I know not where this might end, But one thing that is sure, Forever I will care, I assure... The songs that we sang, The words that we spoke, Memories from the past, bells that rang, Feelings will sooth my heart, each stroke. Take care my lovely friend, You have made footprints in the sand Remember you, I will always do, Forever I will have visons of you... ---------------- Regards Sudhir. < !signature--> In any moment of decision, The best thing you can do is the right thing, The next-best thing is the wrong thing, And the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 05-05-2000).] |

Marge, reading your poetry reminds me of how I feel about certain actors, directors, singers and artists. There are those that are so talented that I know I will never be disappointed with their work. Your poetry brings a promise of delight, of warmth, of anticipation, and of emotion. Welcome to the elite! A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

A tear so sweetly came to fall From splendor’s wellspring of recall And rested on a cheek of bliss In quiet tender reminisce A vestige of a bygone day So tenderly was brushed away And lay on finger’s ecstacy In thoughts of teardrops shed for me Marge, you did it again Love Liz |

I've just become a member here, and this was the first poem I read. I'm writing this as the tears fall on my keyboard. It spoke right to my heart, and reminded me of several poems I've written. Thanks for letting me know I'm not in the boat alone! Lori |
