Love beyond Perception ~~~~~~~~~ Two soul mates part "nothing lasts forever" I doubt we'll ever meet again "I love you ... there will be no other" this parting fills my heart with pain ~ You heart is drifting so I release you a cheerful past can I forget Though I may wander life in sorrow my prayers are that you're happy yet ~ Perhaps in time on a lonely evening your thoughts will reminisce of me And wonder if I'm even living that night I'll think the same of thee ~ Through this lonesome life I wander alone with thoughts of only you Your memory blinds my sight forever with love far greater than you knew ~ When slowly all your friends depart you those friends you thought you needed so Bare in mind the friend you departed still loves you greater than you know ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [This message has been edited by Rex Allen McCoy (edited 05-31-2000).] |

Sad, but well done. Good advice here too. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Wow! 22 Years ago Rex? This was incredibly beautiful ... you had a gift from the very beginning. This is so warm, touching and sentimental for one who's heart had been broken. What a lovely piece. Great post to the challenge! Thanks for sharing it with us Rex. Best wishes, /Kit |

Rex~ What a tender loving heart you have, this has such saddness yet such beauty in it. Just a most tender poem. Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Denise ... thankyou, I think a lot of people here can relate to this Temptress ... thankyou ... the advice seems to be best written on a wall somewhere Kit ... my first wife was a poet ... so I had plenty of examples to work from and lots of time to revise it because I never gave it to her ... but it got me interested in writing Tracie ... thankyou ... I always enjoy hearing from you ... you must have that certain magnetism |

WOW REX a great first poem, wonderful poem. Love is strange like that, I can't understand it, if anyone figures it out please tell me. great poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh) "Life has been unfaithful And it all promised so so much I am a relic I am just a petrified cry Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir The applause nails down my silence La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I see liberals I am just a fashion accessory People send postcards And they all hope I'm feeling well I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy Where they patronise my misery La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I sold my medal It paid a bill It sells at market stalls Parades Milan catwalks The sadness will never go Will never go away Baby it's here to stay |

When this happens, you go on, but part of you gets stuck in whatever you had and now miss. I think this is a lovely expression of love, enduring even after the relationship ends. That's how love should be, but it ain't always that way...too bad! |

Excellent poem. I too was looking for the laugh that you usually deliver, but I will settle for this wonderful, thoughtful poem. |

Rex, Wonderful love poem. You conveyed the depths of your love to her beautifully. She knows, I'm sure. To have known this kind of love is better, having known. Lovely poem. marcy |
