Forgotten times of crystal chimes,
...soft hush of spring's first rain,
Paths not taken, now forsaken,
...sweet sorrows without pain,
As wisps of air, tease ebon hair,
...rememberance of thee,
Of flowing streams and flowered dreams,
...of love not meant to be,
Forevermore, means nevermore,
...forever elfin grace,
Upon a star I gaze afar,
...upon an angel's face,
Forgotten times of crystal chimes,
...awakened from their sleep,
For in mine heart, shall never part,
...forever will thee keep.

Forgotten chimes
They toll for thee
Here beside
The crystal sea
Where memories
Of another time
Grace the chamber
Of my mind

Smiles...well hello Mike...like your poem, could you tell

**sigh**

Simply too lovely. I need a tissue.

--Kess

Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made,
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange...

--William Shakespeare, from The Tempest

Mesmerizing...simply exquisite. Lovely rhyme scheme and equally beautiful if melancholy message.

When melancholia makes you frown
Look deep within your soul
For HappiNess lies there deep down
Just takes a slight cajole

Don't let your burdens callous thee
Take hold of them instead
Just smile within and you shall see
You'll cheer your troubled head...

Really nice work, my friend..
