Sometimes in my dreams
you touch my face
and it awakens me.
I lie there wishing
I could keep your
finger prints
forever.

I hear you calling me
and I think I can
touch you...
I can't.
you know I
never could.

Can you love me,
will you...
Do you love me,
Did you...

You knew me
for a moment,
I'll know you
forever.

I looked fate
in the face
once...
he had your eyes.

closing eyes
closing arms
around me
and from me...
closing doors,
and you were gone.

I could write
forever
for something I'll
never have.

One month, to
one year, to
nine years, too
late.

Always goodbye
but never
farewell.



"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

...and for each desire we're denied, another is lying in wait to replace it...Keep smilin'..

Oh my, nine years is a long time. This is a very meaningful poem. You seem to think about the same things I do.
Happiness is elusive, I hope you find it.

Saxoness~
This is a wonderful penning of longing.

'I looked fate
in the face
once...
he had your eyes.'


I just like this whole piece,
but this thought stood out.

Your words flowed so beautifully.  You have a great talent with the pen.  I'm sure your life will get better and better.  Keep on writing for all to see.  Roger

Wow thanks everyone for the replies, I appreciate it. I'm touched that you guys like it so much. It wasn't too long ago....but I was born nine years too late. Seems so unfair, you know?

Thank you once again. Sometimes you just gotta let the past stay there, I guess.
