In Dreams Sweetheart you are gone and my life goes on but sometimes you still come around in my dreams. While we were together I could have loved you forever and you shared every sentiment thru smooth or foul weather in my dreams. I remember the way you would say "Do YOU care"? Oh yes I cared much more than you were ever aware. And somehow I still do love you. Yet now I have finally realized a mutual love was never finalized. It was a love we shared only in my dreams. Still my weary heart wonders why I waste my precious time to pout and cry over a love that can only live or die in dreams.

JamesLee... I feel the sadness here, but mostly the longing. It is so hard to love someone who doesn't give it back. But at some point someone else comes along and fulfills those dreams! I really like what you did here..... I have but one goal in life......... To make you smile! ~~ Sunny ~~ |

James a very sad poem, well written. MY experiences in love are limited so I can not offer any wise words. I hope that you find your soul mate. peace. "I am melancholy, flower cutting through stone" manic street preachers |

James~ You've inspired the next piece that I post. 'You Still Come Around' I thank you for the inspirational line - 'but sometimes you still come around in my dreams.' Hope you enjoy it, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

So sad, unfortunately true too, but I gues we have to hope next time it will be different. I just love the last lines  "A clay pot sitting in the sun will always be a clay pot. It has to go through the white heat of the furnace to become porcelain." --Mildred W. St |

Head up my poetic friend....the right one is out there just waiting to ride the rainbows of your dreams....your sadness and longing show quite well through your words and there is one that will take the time to see what you have to offer in so many ways......Wonderful write as usual. |

this reminds me of one I wrote called "Love Not Meant To Be". I'll see if I can find it and post it. Very sad and beautiful James. I really enjoyed reading. |

jmlee, This is a poem I can definately relate to. ""Do YOU care"? Oh yes I cared much more than you were ever aware. And somehow I still do love you. Yet now I have finally realized a mutual love was never finalized. It was a love we shared only in my dreams. Still my weary heart wonders why I waste my precious time to pout and cry over a love that can only live or die in dreams." I spent 2 years of my life loving some one who didn't love me back, no matter how bad I wanted it to happen. The only thing I can say, and I know how cheesy it sounds, is the right one is out there waiting. I have now found my right one, and I'm thankful every day for him. Never loose faith. rosepetals |

Thank you Tess, Mark, Jenn, passing shadows, Paula, Sea, rosepetals, and Claire for your warm and sincere comments. I was thinking about some of the words said and I realized that I don't need to let go of my hopes and dreams...I only need to find the right woman to share them with. James |

James...I was going to lend my wisdom here as well but it seems that you have more then enough already. never give up on your hopes and your dreams my friend. There is nothuing wrong with dreaming about a love that can complete you. Late at night....when the loneliness creeps in....those warm arms and soft heart are what gets us through....even if it is only a dream...for now. |

James- this is both touching and beautiful mixed with a lot of sadness. you apparently have grown a lot as a person from this experience. god bless you and take care. amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |
