there's a river that flows where to no one knows there's a lady who wears rings on her toes though her fingers are bare as she silently weeps another tear she gave herself this cross to bear willingly welcoming it and there's no time for pity her heart was set on being free just as the years were closing in she went and committed the ultimate sin she has no shame knows she has only herself to blame and this old world can be colder than she knew they used to call her babyblue she knew it wouldn't be easy to set her soul free had to take her chances find a way out now in transition in limbo sitting there the clock ticks seconds moving 'round and 'round until all meaning fades of love lost went away time wasted on someday and she sits and she stares and she wonders why all her daydreams have faded away and what would have happened if just for a second she had considered him she needs someone to tell her how it could have been holding on to all she has left she struggles on, through lifes' test and don't think for a moment she has any regrets in world of darkness trapped by society trying to be everything they expect her to be everything to everyone 'till it all comes undone and he couldn't give her all that a woman needs it was never the Garden of Eden and she knew it wouldn't be easy for years longing to set her soul free had to take her chances she sees her way out now in transition in limbo sitting there the clock ticks seconds moving 'round and 'round until all meaning fades of love lost went away time wasted on someday and she sits and she stares and she wonders why all her daydreams have faded away and the memories don't haunt her like they used to and she doesn't cry at night anymore when she thinks of you and the halo you put over her head she now leaves hidden under her bed and the clock still ticks the seconds away life goes on she knows everything has to be OK the sun still shines the moon still glows and she guesses that's just the way life goes and even in her deepest dreams she knew she couldn't hold this love together at the seams so with tear stained eyes she wrote that note left it lying by the door signed it "love you forever more" she'd hoped he'd understand love couldn't keep her there locking the door behind her as she wiped away a tear Julie  [This message has been edited by JulieAnn (edited 08-28-2000).] |

Oh, JulieAnn... I am going to keep this one, for certain. You just peeked into my life and wrote it all down, beautifully....I might add! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

JulieAnn-I have read many many of your poems and now tis time for me to confess. Love them all I do, but this one is the most beautiful poem you have done as I see it. It has so many emotions piled in it and well the format and the length and the flow are all just so pertect. You have made a giant leap in this one. Loved it much |

Perhaps baby blue has some regrets and yet she knows that to fulfil her needs and desires she must move on....James |

Julie, you have also looked into my heart on this one. I am overwhelmed with the words here, the flow and the powerful emotions coming out. The line "Time wasted on someday", expresses it all. LOVE this. catalinamoon |
