Recompense I would that I might gather All the memories in my heart, And bind them 'round with silver twine And place them well apart From all the cares that fret the soul That they might sacred be... Unsullied by the pain which Life Has offered unto me. In some far archive, ever dear, I'd keep the silver bright... Unblemished by the storms of day, Protected from the night. And, tho the years are lonely, God at least was kind to me, When parting us---in recompense He offered Memory! |

Wow, Rex, how do you write those things? I absolutely love your style of writing and the contents of your poems! It really touches me deep inside. Please continue posting your wonderful work! Take Care! "Most girls want a man with the mean green Don't wanna dance if he can't be Everything that I dream up A man that understands real love" |

LM....Thank you very much for your kind comments. I sincerely appreciate them. All my poetry is from my book "Songs of Sorrow". None of my work here is spontaneous. Sorry to respond here and use board space, but you do not show an E-mail address. Regards, Rex. |

Rex Spontaneous or not it's still wondrous. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Hi Rex!  I really like this one... maybe because of the word memory!  I do believe memories are everything... without them... where would we be?! You take care! ~ Tara ~ "A poem should not mean, but be" - Archibald MacLeish |
