I never kept any pictures of her I burned them all hoping to burn her memory out of my mind no pictures no reminders no memories her face lost to me, unknown to my heart I never kept any pictures of her save this one I must have forgotten about it so happy so warm so loving the love in our faces shining for all to see I won't keep any pictures of her not even this one I'll rip it up and throw it away no reminders no memories no pain but there's one picture I can't destroy the picture in my mind. . . --------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, How well I know this feeling. Even when the day will come that the picture becomes blurred something will happen and the pictures in our mind will once again become crystal clear and as painful as ever. If only it was as easy to destroy the pictures of the mind. Dawn |

sven..very achy breaky piece here... i can feel the "ouch" as i read..that pic in the mind is the hardest to erase (however, i'm not one to want such things erased...!) well written! dg "Half of what i say is meaningless; but i say it so that the other half may reach you." -Kahlil Gibran |

Time is the eraser hun. Just call it a really SLOW darn thing! Kind of like those erasers on pencils that get old and hard and don't erase all that well, and it feels like you arm is gonna fall off before you get it erased! ~Sheri |

A picture is worth a thousand words and the memories are hard to erase. A touching poem, Sven. Solemn.... but I enjoyed your words none the less. ...chanson~ [This message has been edited by chansondegeste (edited 08-21-2000).] |

Sven, Still have a pic? Why? If it is so painful and all. This is intriguing . . . LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Sometimes you walk through the graveyard of your mind....and find images that you can't erase...they just fade a little. Best wishes Jon |
