Still your words pull me in Drawing me to your soul Falling all over again My emotions take control Lighting my soul’s embers The overwhelming love This my heart remembers The things I still dream of Touching me so deeply And still I wanted more Consuming me completely Like nothing I’d felt before Was it to much to be real To beautiful to go on To much for one to feel Only something to wish upon Not strong enough to turn The ache reminds me I’m alive Living to feel the burn I needed your flame to survive As your memory blazes today I stand frozen...my soul mystified And as the ashes are blown away I’m redeemed...finally purified ~Dedicated to the Flame~ ~SS~ [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 11-22-2000).] |

No matter what vault I lock away my heart in and try to protect it from the beauty of your words so that they don't reach too deep, you seem to always have the right combination to open it up and allow me to see the beauty in you. Loved this one my friend.   |

Oh, this is superb. Feeling every bit of it, of course, very personally. But even if I did not, it stands out as a spectacular ode to a lost love. Sandra |

Cheers. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

So much sincerity in this piece Holly. Straight from the heart. I don't think that beautiful would quite give it justice. Marina It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |

This piece is honestly one of the best written pieces discribing exactly what I have been through. None of mine even come close. Your last part has only happened for me in the last few months after all these years. I guess I just wasn't willing to let go just yet. Thank you so much. This is a most beautiful piece.

Fabulous work my friend! "Was it to much to be real To beautiful to go on To much for one to feel Only something to wish upon" Wow!
