And You Were There I remember when the tears first flowed A drip, then a trickle and then steady stream As thoughts of bereavement had surfaced, the hurt And you then became my figment, a dream. And You were there with a glowing, a warmth Holding me, as I grasped each sweet word Feeding me, drying up every last drop Comfort in poetry, each swallow, I heard. I remember the trials, the anguish, the pain Too many, though really they add up, just two The loss of my loved one, my father, the first And the loss of another loved one, coming due. And You were there, another one now To cherish my feelings, bring out my desires Deeper and deeper emotions flowed hard No one has yet, to put out these, my fires. I remember the hurts and the times, I now smile That many ~~soft kisses could ease me, my mind Words soft, endearing, "kiss touches", I named I loved every moment, in delight, eyes did find. And You were there, my champion, my knight In armour of strength, uplifting to me Carried me many a night into dreams And sometimes we floated off into the sea. I remember Your voice, each sound, that I felt Whenever your whispers came drifting my way Vibrations, the tingling, the rhythms, my heart Would open and spill out, to love you each day. And You were forever, in eyes of mine, mine No matter, the moment in light or of dark Am touched by the thoughts that electrify now Like a candle flamed out, I am singed by your spark. I remember You now, will each day as it comes As evolving, takes hold, like a butterfly, I Released from cocoon, not an easy tour, yet Come each morn, with wet wings, I first flutter, then fly.

thank you Spitfire...we have one of those triumphs *s If you read me..more than half of my poetry seems to be like this...I am what many would call hypersensitive..and very expressive so my heart and feelings do tend to show in everything I say and do. ~~soft hugs Maureen |

Maureen, I think it is ok to show your sensitive side in poetry. Continue to express what is on your mind and in your heart, you are going so beautifully so far. A tender, beautiful and sad poem. wonderfully written. "I am melancholy, flower cutting through stone" manic street preachers |

Maureen, to me poetry is all about being able to express your feelings, whatever they may be. You have done this here and done it so very well. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

This is a beautiful poem. It carried so much emotion. I loved reading it, and I felt the comfort you were trying to express to the one you were thinking of. Kathleen |

catalinamoon Kathleen thank you both..I have to tell you that almost all my poems were written to internet friends or inspired by their words and support..don't ever let someone tell you that real love can't happen on the net..and I mean the "forever" loves of friendship ..I have over 400 poems to prove it and bit by bit I will expose you to them ~~softly Maureen |

Maureen, You're absolutely right about the internet, love certainly does happen and jeez Kathleen, why don't you just tell the world. It affects a person and then you write about it, it leaves joy and sometimes sadness. I love reading your poetry, it's been speaking to me and now I know why. Kathleen |

Maureen this is simply beautiful and brought about a *sigh* from me too!! Please always continue to express your feelings through your poetry.. a poem without feelings is just words.. It is a gift to be able to express one's self this way and at times a virtual life save.. Beautiful hon - don't change a thing!!  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
