Left so long alone and sad her love grows thick with dust. The sparkle nearly disappears from years increasing rust. Covered now in gray and damp all she can do is cry. Remembering the love she had in better days gone by. The dust is thick, yet somewhat light she writes his name into. A fingertip still sketching love no matter whats come through. Occasionally she gets to work and dusts it off again. Hope cleans it up and shines it bright with thoughts of happy ends. As months go by, the dust reforms she fears there is no reason. to keep this dusty dream alive, her love has passed it's season. She waits for that which never comes, yet can't give up the dream. She knows someday her prince will come no matter how it seems. For now, the dust resettles and her love is filed away in a musty corner underneath the bed he used to stay. < !signature--> Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.

Hon we are two peas in a pod, in our thinking and melancholy, I tell you!! I have written similar, about love and memories on a shelf, to be dusted off and remember when I am by myself. Yours was much better, and better imagery too!! Wonderful work hon.. could I have found a soul sister?? *hugs* Keep up the great work..  *Our deeds travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are..* Isis ~ Sovereign of the Spirit |

This makes me sad. Love does hurt so much sometimes but on the other hand, I think I'm sadder for someone who hasn't ever truly loved. Someone once said, "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Janie |

Oh Cat... what else can I add ? This is so amazing, what a great metaphore... Oh... "The dust is thick, yet somewhat light she writes his name into. A fingertip still sketching love no matter whats come through." My God...it's exactly what I've been doing for years now... *sigh*... I said earlier I'm your biggest fan and I still stand by these words! |

"She waits for that which never comes yet can't give up the dream. She knows someday her prince will come no matter how it seems." I can relate to the part of holding onto dreams...I recently realized the dreams can live on in our hearts...the goal is to connect the dream to the right heart...one that wants to share our dreams....James |

cat.... This has got to be one of my favorites that you have written!! It carries a message close to my heart, and it is a wonderful poem! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
