that one said she gave her heart to me there were others wanting, demanding to give their hearts away one whispered one dark exciting night I love you and left me the next day I finally found one to love one so fair but she n'er came round again ahhh . . . I still like to count them the one who gave her heart to me all of them give me heartbreak whenever I imagine their faces oh, they are like the autumn wind fallen from the tree to lay there ancient history and covered by winter's first snow ©November 20, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

Gorgeous, dear Jerry! Our encounters with love and heart bliss and pain keep us always upon the edge of reality and dream zones, where we can indulge in moments of longing. Count them and enjoy life's gifts, even when they reside in the past. Beautifully written! Margherita |

A beauty my friend . . . longing and the whole meaning of the word memories, reflections we have of days past that brought us to today. I too, have many - and like you, some good - others...hmmm, but love them all. j. |

Memories keep us alive when life becomes too cold. Love can not be bought or sold or bribed. It is there or it's no. SO memories hold fast. Good post. Jo |
