I know I ain't been around, but you know how hectic life gets. Anyway how is this for an entrance? As the sun goes down over the waters edge. I watch the ripples as they spread across the lake. The sky has darkened and the stars shine brightly. I sit here alone...thinking, but I am not alone for your memory lingers. Floating through the breeze your scent fills me whole. The vision of your smile lights up my soul. I see your face at the waters edge. I reach to touch you my heart filled with joy. As I touch your face it disappears. My heart is saddened it was just a REFLECTION. "Life is a game and we have to play, but in the end...we all die."-by me! |

Hey I liked this.....very well done. Sad that it was only a reflection and not a reality. I really thought you did well on this poem. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

What a twist on the ending! Great job, it caught me completely off guard. ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

This one was so full of emotion and it gave me that tingly feeling in my heart. I like it alot, it's going in my library. Don't you love the way how it can acutually feel like someone is with you even when they are not? Good job. ~*Nikki*~ ~*Of all the millions of people in the world, I'm just me.*~ |

Yea I do. I have it quite often. I also love the way you can never meet a person, but become really close with them and feel like you've been friends forever. That's how I feel when I put my poetry on here. Evryone is so nice. Anyway, before I blubber some more. Thanx for being so kind.

Chic, I too love the feeling of knowing someone so well when you've never even met them, like clicking right away? It's great. Anyways, hope to see more stuff from you. ~*Nikki*~ ~*Of all the millions of people in the world, I'm just me.*~ |

Well I don't get inspired very easily and not very often. I guess I have permanent writer's block. OUI VEY!!! "Life is a game and we have to play, but in the end...we all die."-by me! |
