Yes, sometimes, even after all these years I can be smitten with her face. I bent and kissed her cheek in parting n’er thinking she would be dead on the morrow she called me a dreamer aye, I had that glint in my eyes eh, but more than a dream I cast my lot upon the wild and treacherous fate called a hallucination alongside a damn vision into the future I’d yet to learn what we see with cloudy eyes nothing more than a delusion within a figment of imagination now I rest amid her death’s wail stuck inside this swamp’s piercing anger I have found paradise but I shall forever live here alone braced against that cold, wanton wind called Mariah this paradise I have found Mariah has told me of the demise of Nanette, my lovely bride has turned into a window of hell as I moan and shed tears for my sweetness n’er again to hold and love and, as I cry is what all we can see is everything only a nightmare made within a nightmare? ©January 18, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

quote:Stunning JerryPat, this I've quoted. As for your last lines, I feel that's a question we can only answer for ourselves. I'm sorry for your loss. One would certainly never forget, but when love comes back into our life, the love we lost is no longer the last love we recall. ...just bein' Bluesy |

You are right. I had a new love, married with a beautiful daughter. Sadly, Marionette passed away. Our daughter and I are are Internet pals. I love her. She grew up watching The Monkeys on TV. I kid her about it still. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Again JerryPat, I'm sorry for your loss but did you have to mention "The Monkeys"? Now I'm walking around like a crazy man singing their theme song! ...just bein' Bluesy |

This is sad Jerry, but still you have a part of her still with you. And I believe, it shouldn't be a "nightmare within a nightmare", but a lost dream living forever that you can touch. |
