He came to me at a time where My life seemed incomplete. Like the mist through the dawn, At first I could not see. Slowly he opened my eyes And brought out who I am. For that alone, I must admit I truly thank this man. He taught me how to laugh and love At a time I felt it's loss. That bounderies that I had held Well, they really must be crossed. He taught me not to dwell on All those tiny, little things. While all the while, we shared a smile As I began to spread my wings. I became the person I once was... Independent, happy and strong. Expressing all I had to give, Sharing all my passion's song. In return I helped him find His own passionate flair. I gave him a way to express his heart Through rythmic, poetic care. We thought we found a rarity That many never find. A meeting of souls, an undying love Through our hearts and our minds. But sadly time was not our friend For it was not meant to be. As it happened, you see in the end The choice was left for me. It broke my heart, it tore my soul, How could I say..."Good Bye"? To this man I loved so much... My heart still wonders why. Sometimes your choice is made for you With others in life's scheme. Yet I'll always treasure our time together And remember it was much more than a dream. ------------------ "To waken doubt in one Holding so fast by thine infinity; So surely anchored on The steadfast rock of immortality." ...Emily Bronte, "Last Lines" |

Sally....I think I've met this man, smiles, but I have no intention of ever saying goodbye. ------------------ It is better to be silent and be considered a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. |

Sally S. - I must confess, I thought you were a sheep. And so I read, with mixed dread, Your words of poetry. It is I find, that this time, My err's my benefit. Your sweet lament, a present From what your pen has writ. A sweet, nice poem, Sally S. Please forgive me if I chuckle whenever I see your name. That evil Toerag has corrupted me forever. |

Beautifully done, Sally, and so sad. This is one I can truly take to heart. ------------------ Michael Anderson I could not love except where Death Was mingling his with Beauty's breath - Or Hymen, Time, and Destiny Were stalking between her and me. EAP |
