In the shadow of an angel < !signature-->i did not have a chance i loved you with all my heart but you only desired the romance when you spoke of her my heart went out to you teardrops flowed with yours a winding river..blue why did you hurt me? when i was so good to you you flutter from woman to woman searching free as a dove In the shadow of an angel your wife..an angel above you try so hard to replace her yes..you have found another young as she was then but she is just another woman soon she will be just another friend she is in the shadow of an angel like i was back then A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 12-15-2000).] |

*sigh* I know from experience you cannot compete with a angel. This poem is filled with your pain. My heart goes out to you. Much love to you from me. |

A story too often repeated in this society. Very sad. If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. John |

Victoria, this is superb and you've written this so well. Far too difficult to compete with a memory, and sometimes I wonder is it actually worth it. Similar situation happened to one of my sisters, except she married him, and it all fell apart less than three months later. Really excellant writing from you. Take care Mushy Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Victoria This is so true. The task of competing with someone not there anymore is an impossible one. Thank you for a poem to make us think a little further... Ramses |
