Sitting here today my mind wanders back There was nothing I seemed to lack I thought I had the world by the tail Could not comprehend there was a chance to fail The future looked so bright After sharing with you that first night Could not imagine in a million years Today there would be so many tears We were young and madly in love Thoughts of you I put above All other things that came up each day I loved you wholly there was no other way My gifts to you numbered many Mind, heart, body, soul all full of plenty Bursting with the love we shared No way anything else compared To my feelings for only you They gripped me from out of the blue Today, yesterday seems so far away I am at a loss as to what I should say Fate brought me into your life But now that you have twisted the knife It's time to choose a different path And try to clean up yesterday's aftermath Thanks to Jeffrey for the challenge.....keep 'em coming, my friend!! Hope you liked this one...not easy to write and post for me. Great theme though!! Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

a wonderful poem, I love it can be hard when a love turns sour not that I am much of an expert, though I have tasted its fruits once looking back I realised how blind i was, how I wanted it to be what it never could be. a powerful poem. It's time to choose a different path And try to clean up yesterday's aftermath not an easy thing to do, but a wise choice. I wise you well. ------------------------ "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 |

Lone Wolf, Sometimes what is hardest for us to write is so cleansing to our souls. I can tell this came straight from your heart. Really good job. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

You are wiser now and you know that love, like everything else changes...sometimes for the good of those involved, but sometimes to their detriment. Good poem. |

Made me think of the song, "To everything, turn turn turn, there is a reason, turn turn turn...." Doors open and close so often...you have written a heart felt poem. Well done! |

~Awww LW,...ouch. This is such a great expression,...it hurts to read that this has happened to you but it's also good to read that you realize it's time to choose a different path and clean up yesterday's aftermath. Clean up your heart,..dust it off and let the light in. I read your replies and you seem like a wise, wise person. Things do happen for reasons and we need to live and learn and take what we need from each situation. Great read. Thanks for sharing. *Peace. |
