Once

Once our love so sweetly blossomed.
It’s delicate warmth so soothing.
Our hearts, minds, and souls fused,
Once anything seemed possible.
Our own reality of hope and joy,
A future by each other’s side.
Now as I’m lost in a sea of tears.
I wonder why we had to end.
The happiness and warmth once felt,
Now replaced by fear and loneliness.
How can I live without your gentle love?
I mournfully cry trying to figure out
How to exist with half a heart, a soul.
And even now that you are gone
I know that I can say that I was loved
Once.

This is just a quick note letting all of you know that I will be able to use a computer once a week.. I know it isnt much.. but at least I get to stop in and read the beautiful poetry .. and post some of my own.  I will try to reply the best I can... but unfortunately I won't have much time.  I hope to get my computer fixed soon.

Lovely thoughts ~

'I know that I can say that I was loved
Once.'


And in the memory-keeping ~
it will have been more than enough ~

*We enjoy seeing you here and hope you get
that computer fixed real soon.

Janet - It is good to be back... even if it is only once a week.  I'm glad you liked the poem... it wasn't an easy one to write.  But, as always, the therapy it offered helped greatly.

Alan - Thanks for stopping in.  I'm not quite sure if I lost it or not.. I'm hoping not.  I guess time will tell though.

Jesse - Hugssss to you my friend.  You know I will take that hand anytime I need it.. and offer my hand back to you in an instant.  I would love to do a duet with you one day.. but remember... I CAN'T RHYME! lol.
