Letting Go I let you go, bit by bit, as you slip through my fingers falling in words on my paper. My heart still echoes your beat as it once more tries to find a rhythm of it’s own. My body, embedded with memories of your touch, remains fingerprinted with the ink of your desire. My lips still taste your kisses as you breathed life into my soul. My eyes close only to see every smile, every move and I let you spill forth in mirrors of liquid upon my cheeks as my mind curses the photographic images emblazoned there. Yes, I’ll let you go, bit by bit ....but perhaps not tonight. ------------------ Alis volat propriis (She flies with her own wings) |

Hard to do, Hoot? Nigh impossible at times. Beautiful, and tonight is not a good night to turn lose. ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

As I said to you when I previewed this piece my friend. You let it go at your own pace. Memories are wonderful and you can always dream. Dreams are what keeps the heart free. Love you my friend. |

Such a beautiful and sad poem. A heart that's broken seems as if you never will mend the rift, but your agile heart and seamstress mind will fix that tare it just takes time. |

Wouldn't it be grand if falling out of love was as easy as falling in love? *S* Great poem, Hoot! |

Yanno hoot...I went to your very fine web page...and the guest book wouldn't let me in? Now, that's not terribly unusual for me, there's many places right here at home that won't let me in either?.....(I don't know if it was because of the sexually explicit comments I was entering, or that I mentioned that naughty word "Balladeer" or if your guest book just has something against finely wrapped "foot extremities?".....) BTW...Nice poem nursie! [This message has been edited by Toerag (edited 11-24-1999).] |
