.......for Sharon. Reminiscing Twenty years on, still seems only yesterday The light of my life, you came my way Young and foolish I really hadn't a clue Still recall the love I held for you The years rolled on by, just moments lost in time Alone now with my memories, contemplating rhyme Only faded photographs and tears to fill my nights Wondering where, when, and how I ever lost sight Mistakes long past now seen all too clear Bring with them memories of the pain and fear I hear your call! Don't look back the past is gone! But with a heart so scarred how can I go on Still chained by those demons from the past And the knowledge that my fate has been cast Still this smoldering ember, my soul it burns Can I reach beyond the pain, my past to spurn "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

powerful poetry Eagle... very well written out and expressed sometimes the past hold us, sometimes we do learn from our mistakes...but our emotions bind us ... you have asked your self all the right questions... this kind of soul searching is the only way we can move forward. I wish for you better days and memories .. take care sweet poet. jm There are moments ... when I Love you beyond the limits of my human heart ... ...you will always be mine. Collin Raye |

Yep sometimes we let the memories keep us in the past even when we know WE KNOW that nothing more can ever come of them. Its hard to let go of a love that feels unfinished huh? Hugs to you |

Eagle One, what a beautiful soul you have, and how well it's reflected in this write. Scars are only scars, they can enhance the person if there are lessons learned. write on Kethry Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

My dear friend...I've read this over so many times hoping to lend the words to you to take away the pain that finds you in this piece...but I know I'll fall short so let me just tell you what I saw here...you've opened up heart and soul in this and let the poetry flow from it...while it's open may sunshine be allowed to pour in my friend...excellent writing~ The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched ---- they must be felt with the heart~ *??* |

Sea......yes, never easy letting go! Thanks. My dear sweet butterfly,as you know writing the words helps to ease the pain. I don't know that the sunshine is pouring in but I can see it now. Thankyou my friend!Victoria.....I like to think that each of us holds within ourselves the power to heal our hearts. It's just hard to recognise that most of the time.

EagleOne, My dear friend this one is filled with sadness and sorrow. Perhaps a small hint of regret thrown in there. We all have to look back so that we can move forward . . . regardless of who it is with. Please know you are in my thoughts. I hope she read this and you both can learn from the past. **HUGS** LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Now I could swear that I had replied to the earlier posts here…….ah well! at least I can respond properly now. Jwesley ~ I thank you for your as always kind comments. Irish Rose ~ I know the band, and the song, well. I value your opinion highly and thank you for your comments. L W ~ Yes there is all that in there and of course you are right it is all a part of moving on. I think that soon I will share this with her as a part of that process. Thank you for your kind thoughts my friend! Wynter ~ Sadly there are many who know this feeling well. It is my hope that you can overcome it. Take care! Marge ~ I think there is only one thing I like better than the smiles you always manage to give me, that of course would be those great big hugs My sincerest thanks to you! Mother Earth ~ I thank you for the hugs! Passions can be a soothing place to be and being here and close to some special people helps to heal.
