This is JerryPat, and since my regular identity is having problems, I will post here for awhile. ensnared inside a memory for years it has tormented me fleeting glimpses of days gone by so real sometimes I want to cry in the distant a mountain range looms above me looking so strange but it is a clue to my plight I understand and see the light I know now where I have to go where flowers of my youth did grow Wyoming is the place for me I remember good wine and brie big country where I left my heart she stood there and watched me depart and she tried not to make a fuss as I left on that greyhound bus |

Achingly sad, Jerry. It scrunched up my insides. Owl |

I guess it is sad. I tried to track her down a few years ago, without any success. Memories are good though, I just hope she had some of the same good memories. Thank you always, Owl, for being here. A black cat ran in front of me tonight. I'm not worried. They don't bother Warlocks. |

It's even more sad that you didn't manage to track her down. However, I am glad you have the memories - I think she will have memories of you that are just as good as yours of her, but probably not exactly the same ones - which is one of the reasons it is sad that you didn't manage to find her again - you could have shared and thus multiplied the memories for each of you.

I agree, Owl, one hundred percent. A black cat ran in front of me tonight. I'm not worried. They don't bother Warlocks. |

I guess this is what you could call sweet and sour memories. Well written. |

Naw, I doubt I broke a heart, Eric, it was merely one of those ships passing in the night that I've never quite gotten out of my mind. Good grist for a poem though. Appreciate you stopping by. ~ Some people are like a Slinky -- not really good for anything -- but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. ~ |
