(Today is one of those days when I'm passing time by going through these older poems. Nervously awaiting the trip to the hospital for some more testing today. Anyone that's online right now and wants to reach me, give me a call on ICQ)


Do You Think Of Me?

Do you think of me
in the early morning?
When the sunlight warms your face
and the wind caresses your ear,
do you feel the flush
I put upon your cheeks
and my heated breaths
as I whispered your name?

Do you think of me
throughout the day as you work?
When your fingers stroke
the smoothness of your keyboard,
do you recall the silkiness
of my skin
or the way we touched
each other
with our words
when our hands were unable to reach
across the distance between us?

Do you think of me
and remember
how every line
became a tender caress;
how each word
became a breath,
an embrace,
a kiss
as we made love
in syllables
and time stood still?

Do you think of me
in the still of the night
as you lay alone
and dream of better days?
Do my hands, once more,
sail the contours of your body
leaving you breathless in their wake?
Can you feel my gentle caresses,
even now,
as I reach out to you
from the depths of my dreams?

And as the memories
crash like waves,
their shores the recesses
of my battered heart and mind,
I can’t help but wonder...

After all this time,
do you think of me?

Ruth, your poem asks a question that I think we have all asked ourselves at one time or another. Does an old lover or mate still think of one long after the parting? Was it all worth it? Was the relationship important enough to leave good memories in the mind and rememberance? Good, good questions...

On a personal level....YES! I will always think of you and remember our conversations over the years and our time spent together where you jumped off the blue pages and became so much more real. You are unforgettable and shall always remain so and I am here wishing the very best for you.....

I often wonder the same thing, do people in our past ever think of us fondly or forget us. In my case I am scared to get the answer!  

On a personal note, you are thought of most fondly by me and all your friends.  

Ruth, I often do think of you,
and remember your gentle touch.
You're really pretty hard to forget,
as we got to love you oh so much.

When you feel you need a friend,
know here you have friends who care.
Purge that fear that lives inside,
Lean on us; your burden we will share.


Okay so it's kinda Hallmarky, but you get the idea, I luv ya gal, get well soon.

Beautiful poem, Ruth...
I know that feeling of waiting for tests and test results....oh how I wish I did't know it, but unfortunately, its become a part of my life....
