Once upon a time He belonged to her Wedding bells chime Their love was sure Seems like ages past Since that happy day Looking at her at last These words his eyes convey "I am very sorry Things turned out like this There's no reason to worry This I couldn't miss" "The look in your eye Is hard for me to bear I still wonder why Our happiness was rare" "Now that our time apart Is here at last It weighs on my heart To look at the past" She listens to his plea And lets out a sigh A part of her longs to be free To climb the mountain high Softly she looks at him The sorrow on her face Sometimes things seem dim With color out of place She struggles for a voice In which to finally speak Time to make her choice Tears from her eyes leak "You know I've always loved you From the day we first met Somehow apart we grew Maybe our sun has set" "So hard to be certain Of such complex things Could be the final curtain Such mixed emotions it brings" "A part of myself wants to leave Just to have the chance In me to at last believe There's a shot at true romance" "Some say you're the white knight Riding upon the royal steed Waiting to take flight To every damsel in need" "My heart says they're wrong About your misguided intent I hear love's spellbinding song From your heart it's sent" "Now I am so confused As to which way I should go No longer an I amused By the seeds you sow" "I need time for me In which to really think Listen to my plea Don't push me to the brink" In silence the two quietly sit Upon the fallen oak tree The torch of friendship lit Then passed from he to she They pledge to earnestly seek Deep inside their hearts An opportunity to peek At the forgotten parts This concludes our look At how things maybe are Their life an open book Written in the stars ---------------------------------------------------- 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 |

LoneWolf~ My friend~ My friend~ This is sad and lovingly written. I read your heart and pray it soars ... 'The torch of friendship lit Then passed from he to she' To live and love .. To love and lose ... To lose and love still .... That is maturity .... You have come far. Love you~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Jenn...first congratulations on your 2000th...then know dear friend that you are loved and that a truer friend I have never had. Some things are better the second time around...sometimes it takes a second look to really see that what you have is all you need. My thoughts are always with you. |

Congratulations on 2000, Jenn! It's great to see! I agree that this is one of your best works yet (if not the best). From struggle comes triumph, in so many ways. Keep them coming and I'll keep reading! Deal? Trev. |

Sorry i am so late replying to this Jenn, my computer tried to turn itself into a french fry  I cannot express in words how very moved I was when I read this. I know that you have been having such a rough time lately and I wish I could do more to help you through it. Just know that when you need a friend I am always here. You have helped me through so much these past few months and for that you shall never be forgotten my friend. Keep your chin up and keep searching for that brighter tomorrow Love ya sis, Jeffrey |

First of all, I must say that I am amazed by all the sweet replies I have recieved to my 2000th post. I know it is not exactly a happy one for a milestone poem, but I felt it was a worthy one deserving of such an honor. It took a couple days to write, but the flow never left. I am proud of it and happy to share it with all my friends. There are too many of you to thank individually . . . so please know that I appreciate each and every one of you who took the time to read and respond to this piece. It means a lot to me to have such wonderful and caring friends. You are the best!! Lone Wolf 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 |

I almost missed this one my friend, that certainly would have been my loss. Congratulations! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |
