To Love Again I’ve flown the winds at arrow speed On cupid’s golden dart I’ve mended broken bits of dreams Within this eggshell heart I’ve known the laughter two can share I‘ve cried the tears of one And pondered those decisions made That cannot be undone I’ve bobbled on the highs and lows Of ocean’s pulsing crests And always sailed back to the port Where love has been the best Whatever dream was in my heart Was lost at sea somehow Whatever love is left to give I offer to you now No more love songs to be sung No golden darts for me For this time I awake with lips The taste of fine chablis |

This is so lovely... there's an aura of sadness... but also a sense of satisfaction... and isn't that what life is all about - acknowledging regrets, but celebrating accomplishments? *S* I liked! |

This was beautiful but sad. Whatever you are feeling, I hope you find solace in prayers and in your God given talent here. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

WOW! This is excceptional Elizabeth. As Martie said, sad yet beautifully done! You have conveyed the emotion in this so very well. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

In a short time - it seems I've read so many of your poems - yet this one came through so strongly and forcefully - I know it will be one I read again and again. I'll simply say [[[hugs]]] and prayers ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |
