Hello...yes, I know..finally some work from me. This had to be shared. The inspiration for this poem came from this poem that JP posted.
  /pip/Forum64/HTML/002625.html#7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are in some of my yesterdays.
When the head of my memory turns
to study the past landscapes
of a heart that ran too fast,
that little twist.
makes music with its fingers
on lost strings that always wanted to know
the words to the song of your lips.
I have your face jotted down on so many of my lines,
and your lingering signature
is still thickly laid in "what if"

You were a glass full of firsts
that I suppose I drank too fast,
but my thirst was a cloak of lonliness
and it begged relief.

I heard your voice
possessive in its grip around my soul

I looked at you
through pictures.
glossy remnants of your moments
reminders
that I was only allowed to touch you with my heart.


My hands never knew you
but I knew you well.

I heard your voice
possessive in its grip around my will
and how it lingers on


It never released me.
There are small particles of my soul
that will always be holding hands with yours.



SARCASM BREEDS A BROKEN HEART, and I  have enough cracks. Please stop breaking me!

This is how it ALWAYS is...you never forget...one you EVER loved, you always love...they are ALWAYS in your heart...even if you don't have them on your brain everyday....

Great job...

The colors of memories.  Sadly done.  It is good to see you again, my friend.

Thank you.
