Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2005-09-02 06:07 AM



I stand with ticket in hand,
boarding a life journey,
awaiting for the grasp,
to pull me back,

Seconds tick by,
tears reflect memories,
will this be our goodbye?
breath escapes me,

Love came here,
arrived by fate,
traveled many miles,
unto its charted destiny,

So much time has passed,
love, like finest chocolate,
flavored my mouth,
which has left me dry,

(my mind drifts thinking)

As I stand, thirsting,
you hesitate to offer,
wine to my lips,
that are moistened with tears,

This is one of those moments,
where life stops beating,
hearts continue bleeding, needing,
one soul is torn apart,

Yes, I have my ticket,
the last train to London,
never to return,
if that is what you desire?,

We are in OUR moive,
stop me, don't let me go,
the sting burns inside,
your heart so heavy,

Hold me, kiss me,love me,
as if death was not far behind,
inhale me one last time,
take in the moment, the memory,

This life decision,
a division in our path,
am I to go alone,
walking thoughout life?,

Without heart, soul,?
am I to die before death?
I look at my watch, waiting,
to see if you arrive,

To see if you have a ticket,
or not, maybe a sad goodbye,
I board the train, standing,
looking, you arrive,

The train pulls out,
The last one to London,
to catch my flight,

Do I disappear?
Fly into the darkness,
where there is no light?
into the mist, out of sight?,

The train disappears,
as she took,
the last train to London tonight.

Thank you Linda, I am glad to know that I can still project my heart for others to feel, and to know, I still have one left beating.

Going to catch that train...its been fun!

The world could use more angels...take care of PIP, be the guardian angel that you are!

Love and peace,

~Always ~ARH

I am reminded of the many Bogart movies .....
and the hold which each leaves Love on its edge.


     you have more than heart ...
     you have life and the pursuit of each tender beat


         please don't be gone too long, you will see that hearts
as romantic as yours still beat to a beautiful song .....
