Yellow Pages Yellow pages sticking out Yellow pages full of doubt Dieing there before my eyes Turning dust as paper lies. It’s ancient history to me That never reached its destiny. Words that flew from out my soul Words that never reached its goal In memories tears it does dissolve Heart of hearts gone unresolved Sands passed through the hourglass My childhood love alas, alas I sorrow for what could have been For wishing is no mortal sin But memories often pinch the nerve Of appetites that were not served And I wonder Does she caste for any reason? Or have I passed with the season. |

Or have I passed with the season. ========================================= YOU are always in season and in style  What a bittersweet beauty this is...my oh my. Stinky...this is tender render of memories and the wonder of meant to bes... How could she not wander and wonder of you in her mind How could her heart not embrace the traces left behind. ~~ Im thinking you leave quite an impression on any one who is lucky enough to have shared time and rhyme *winkiewinkie*   Now for me some words come easy |

Morning Sy! Ah, I think we all look back at the 'might have beens'.. 'could haves' and 'should haves'.. And we wonder about the people we have met and what if we had taken a different route. Everything is as it is supposed to be, I blieve anyway. Good write. ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

But memories often pinch the nerve Of appetites that were not served If anyone has ever written the ache and allure of "might have been"s better, I've missed it. *S* This is superb! |

pondering things from ones past is full of many feelings and images and this poem captures that so well. Often I have wondered whether I want these questions answered or if they do just a well being the source of other ponderings...Paul |

 WOW!!! Oh Seymour, I enjoyed the metaphor in these words, sweet friend, its as if you have all these regrets and if onlys that plague the pages of your heart and you can only dial so many numbers yet there are many that when you dial them you get that same "If you'd like a call, please hang up and try again, if you need help, hang up and then dial your operator!" message! (sigh) This is powerfully poignant, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
