Between a laugh and a tear...

More Grey than Blue


Here yet again
More Grey than Blue
Can’t escape the pain
Of loving you

You fill my thoughts
First and last
Each day in flame
My soul does bask

I fell in love
Perhaps a fool’s folly
A life now lived
Trapped in melancholy

A heart once wrapped
In a blanket of stars
Now bleeds soft tears
Cried from afar

Still even now
I welcome the glow
With this flame eternal
My way, you show

I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on... ~ Jackson Browne

Sometimes we can't help ourselves,
love is long and gathers it's own tears.

I'm in a pensive state on this last day and reflecting a bit too much...but I do remember my debut if you will, and you dear poet were the first to respond to me in passions.  Thank you for coming back and marking the time.

These are some nice lines you wrote~

"A heart once wrapped
in a blanket of stars. "

BluesSerenade ~ I think this time of year is indeed for reminiscing. As always, I enjoy your thoughts, take care!

Jan ~ ‘tis always close to my heart, thank you!

Martie ~ yes it can be that way, as for the sadness, well it’s just another part of life I guess. Thank you, and best wishes for the New Year.

EagleOne, no, falling in love cannot be "a fool's folly." Let's just think of it as "taking a chance." If you don't take that chance, you might never know the thrill of it all. Yes, you remember that of which I speak. Your poem is wonderful. Happy New Year to you. Chris

Your beautiful star dipped poetry always
calls out...and Your poet dipped heart
shines here.  The memories are meant to be
held and cherished and time never dulls
their beauty, nor the longing to visit them for
just an minute more... just as you have shown
here. Exquisite writing my dear friend,
as always when you pen from your heart~
