Memories of you Echoes, echoes in the night All thats left of you Promises unlived Broken untouched fantasies By a twist of fate Echoes in the night All the meant to be dreams...gone And still my mind turns A voice now silent Words lost in this shadowed time You're gone...and I'm lost Not by choice...no choice Death comes to us all...in time Yours came far too soon And I will miss you With every breath I take As long as I breath.... |

 This is stunning and so full of emotion. My compliments to outstanding writing.Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. |

Wonderfully written Reminded me of a song by Klaatu that went something like... I'll never have a closer friend than you I'll never have such good times as the ones we used to have together You're the one I told my problems to Who through the years remained true blue No I'll never have a closer friend than you But all good things must end No use crying for the dead and that's a fact All my tears won't bring you back No I'll never have a closer friend than you |

The feeling of loss and appreciation here is beautifully conveyed. Much related. |

(tears fall down my cheeks) So much sadness in these bittersweet reminiscences of great love lost. (sad sigh) I cried reading this feeling the emptiness of your heart which deserves the most delightful eternal love possible! (big hugggsssss) My heart cries out to you and I pray your heart mends in the sunrise of true love very soon! (sad sigh) Such a heartbreaking poem but with such beautiful sentiments! You have such a beautiful heart, dear friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Such sadness in this piece. It always seems that those with the most to give get taken first. Your friend is at peace now though. There is comfort in that. All writing comes |

Hey...you know I could relate to this---thank you for the read...and here ya go, lovie-- My sweet friend how you live on within a silence of smile's song. Every time we laughed together a creasing line on my lips gathered. Tiny lines to mark lip's print, remembrance of an angel sent. No my friend you did not die. You live on in song of smile. To you, sweet lady...for all the smiles you gave to me! |

This is really a very heartfelt and tender poem Paula......I got quite lost in the emotion of it! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |
