I only wanted one more dance with you to keep, for all time, in my memory. Or to hear your voice singing deep and true but in your short time left, it couldn’t be. My lonely soul grieves to know that you’re gone so I’ll carry your spirit in my heart in the hope your love will always go on, like you never left, like we didn’t part. We’ll meet in my dreams to walk hand in hand relive the simple pleasures we once knew. While strolling quietly across the sand we’ll talk of my hopes and fears without you. Hold me close to your heart, don’t let me cry. Lift me on angel’s wings, teach me to fly. (Thanks to my wonderful friend for his help with this. Maeve) Take me home to Erin's shores, |

My lonely soul grieves to know that you’re gone so I’ll carry your spirit in my heart in the hope your love will always go on, like you never left, like we didn’t part. These lines say so much and evoke the love between you that is eternal. Thoughtful work, maeve. |

This is very sensual, great piece. It just makes me think of someone I Love and cherish, but I made too many foolish mistakes. Anyway, fantastic poem Sam |

A beautifully written sonnet and filled with much heart as well. This one is one for the books. Not only do your words portray the sentiment and emotion well, but the reader is easily swept right along with them and that means " GREAT WRITE "! |

I have found that the beauty of love is to let them go when they want to go and if you feel like there is unfinished business sometimes there is...sometimes they come back around...and you find that they were thinking of you many times....James |

Sam, thank you. I try to show what I feel in my poetry as so many times I can't say it in normal words. James, his love will go on as I carry him always in my heart. I know when my time comes I will meet him again. Maeve Take me home to Erin's shores, |
