The Memories Within My Tears Moments of the past flash through my mind, Forming a tear in my eye. Each salty teardrop is a part of my past, rolling down my cheeks caressed by a sigh. Memories so sweet fill my heart with sorrow, I long to live them once again. The sad melody of time's passing is the lullabye played on memory lane. The sands of time are shifting, Slipping between the fingers of my life. This beautiful world is mine only once, but I long to live it twice. Once for the joy of just living. Once for the joy of knowing, no matter where I travel my memories will be going. "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight."

wow ESP The sands of time are shifting, Slipping between the fingers of my life. This beautiful world is mine only once, but I long to live it twice. Once for the joy of just living. Once for the joy of knowing, no matter where I travel my memories will be going. a wonderful poem, I have memories too that bring me close to tears, good very good memories. A beautiful poem. wonderfully written. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |

beautiful poem of searching and memories lizzie, sad in its longing but lovely in its desire wonderful imagery great writing later-lizzie gator jm And it's good that I'm not angry, I just need to get over, I'm not angry, anymore Cry when you cry, run when you run, love when you love, represent the ashes that you leave behind ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ...

Oh, Lil' Lizzie~ It is BEAUTIFUL ! 'This beautiful world is mine only once, but I long to live it twice' What a lovely way of expressing yourself. Life is wonderful and thank goodness we do have the memories to hold. I'm so pleased to see that you realize early in your life that it is important to know how important your sweet memories will become. You are just wonderful, my special friend. I love you bunches and bunches. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

The realization that life is so special only because of the little things we carry with us. Some people, I fear, never see this. Beautiful poem... Trew. I have been to see the world. Tasted life at every turn. And all the time your face came back to haunt me. -Chris DeBurgh |

If only....Wow!! You made me daydream and wish!! Wouldn't it be nice?? Anywayz, Take Care!! Bridgette  "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again.

This is great work. I think the title says it all, memories and tears....< !signature--> 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 message has been edited by EagleOne (edited 07-17-2000).] |
