Still your words pull me in
Drawing me to your soul
Falling all over again
My emotions take control

Lighting my soul’s embers
The overwhelming love
This my heart remembers
The things I still dream of

Touching me so deeply
And still I wanted more
Consuming me completely
Like nothing I’d felt before

Was it to much to be real
To beautiful to go on
To much for one to feel
Only something to wish upon

Not strong enough to turn
The ache reminds me I’m alive
Living to feel the burn
I needed your flame to survive

As your memory blazes today
I stand frozen...my soul mystified
And as the ashes are blown away
I’m redeemed...finally purified

No matter what vault I lock away my heart in and try to protect it from the beauty of your words so that they don't reach too deep, you seem to always have the right combination to open it up and allow me to see the beauty in you.  Loved this one my friend.

Oh, this is superb. Feeling every bit of it, of course, very personally. But even if I did not, it stands out as a spectacular ode to a lost love.

Butterflies,
The light of that flame has inspired me today. Mark summed the feeling well. You always find a way to enter my heart as well. This is just so beautiful and definitely into the library. Cheers.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

So much sincerity in this piece Holly.  Straight from the heart.  I don't think that beautiful would quite give it justice.

This piece is honestly one of the best written pieces discribing exactly what I have been through.  None of mine even come close.  Your last part has only happened for me in the last few months after all these years. I guess I just wasn't willing to let go just yet.  Thank you so much.  This is a most beautiful piece.
