The Time We Had I think of moments come and moments gone and of those few where my love was strong You needed me when, I really needed you and we made the touch that lovers often do and in that time, as brief as it was new I lost my heart, to the one whose kiss, would turn my thoughts from all the girls I ever knew. Oh my love, there will never be a moment, that'll pass, When I don't think about- the time we had.......... Always your poet, forever your friend, a place in my heart till the very end. James Parker Haley (C)1994 |

*SIGH* love a man who wears his heart on his devoted little sleeve *smile* very nice p-man... little different style for you... me likes  later-poet gator It's amazing How you make your face just like a wall How you take your heart and turn it off How I turn my head and you lose it all ... And it's unnerving How one move just puts me by myself There you go just trusting someone else Now I know I put us both through hell ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me And I'm not sayin We ever had the right to hold on I just didn't wanna let you get away from me. ~MB20~Leave |

A touching poem. I love the last 4 lines especially. Lucidity is the answer to all problems |

Parker~ Sweet, sweet sounds pouring from your poetic pen. Eliciting sighs from surrounding hearts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

After the hurt has finally faded, it is nice to let yourself think of the happier times. Everyone holds a place in their heart for that special someone who they lost. It is unfortinute that in most cases this person is also the one who caused the most pain. Marina |

Excellent Parker, you have captured the feelings that sometimes we have when it's all over. . . the pain, the loss. . . the love that's still shared, it can all be confusing can't it? And you're right, pain should not control our life, but rather, we should control what causes us pain and turn it into that which gives us strength. . . Very well done my friend. . . -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Kit, thank you, its one of those letters that people often do, and just know they can't send because it won't make any difference. Butterflies, thank you as always, you so nice to me in your comments. Sven, I find people too often live in their pain. This will only draw it out and make it worse. Some pain will never leave us, but we must control how it affects us. This doesn't mean a person is unfeeling, there is a time for pain and a time to turn it into special memories and then move on with life and hold those special memories, as memories not as pain. ESP, thank you, I agree totally. Corinne, nice to see you back sweet poet, thank you. Parker |

It is indeed the best to live off of the good memories....such beauty here. You are truly a one-of-a-kind romantic... *Krista Knutson* "Lonliness is the human condition." *Mark Twain, in the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"* |
