~*~

Days slip away,over the years in between
when I reigned as queen
and you were my king,
my favorite chapter,
in that time of my life.

How I loved you so
for all the right reasons
and the precious seeds you planted.
I remember you as an impossible dream
too good to be true.

We were truly blessed
before we drew swords,
taking individual stands
wielding idle threats,
submitting to the pain, placing the blame.

Leaving scars, shedding tears
that will last foever,
doesn't change anything
not now,
not ever.

But for you and I,
I hope someday
we will come away
and make our peace.

Hidden in a valley
beside an open stream,
another love will take our place
where we will find our dreams,
and make them last.

Hi Lori...it's good to see you!

But for you and I,
I hope someday
we will come away
and make our peace.

This is so hard to do...but makes life so much easier if you can.

TD, Martie and icebox, thank you.
I'm pretty miserable company these days,
but writing helps to keep the blues at bay.

Hugs to you all~

I hope you find that place.  Even if you're the only one that makes it there.

Good expression -- been there.  The only peace I've is individual, not mutual. But, that has been enough.

Dear Bluesy,  The coming and going of love is so very hard to understand but I'm at a disadvantage because it only came once to me - in such a long life too.  What is it supposed to teach us I wonder and will the lesson ever be worthwhile?

Hope is always a good thing.

Sad write with sparks of hope, touching read.
There are endings and beginnings. Now is the time of new beginnings, if you let them happen ...
Bluesy queen, you are meant to reign!
Love and hugs. Margherita

The sincerety of this write is its true gift..and the key to healing, to moving forward.
Good to see you back in the blue pages Lori-girl.

The ink bleeds through cuz you're paper thin
you're one more fool with a paper and pen
lookin for a poem in the water stains on the floor.

we will come away
and make our peace.

I wish this for you! *S* But sometimes it has to be enough to find that peace ourselves and wish them well. *S* Beautiful, poignant write! *S*

Ya know Bluesy, ya really were blessed.  Ya could've ended up with a bunch of cats instead of kids.  
Thought ya might miss my zoo humor...

Bluesey

Here it is, what poets do best...
A display of words, that stir emotions,
Of love and despair ...
The tuning of heart strings,
Played in sad minor keys.
And then, at the end of the song,
An incline of spirits
That declined in the much that was lost
In their predecessors...
Hope enters in the last groups
Of words, bringing a little light
To the dark rooms of the others.
