Sigh.....looking over the landscape, in search of a lost love. Seeing all the faces smiling, the couples sharing laughter. Asking that I might again find love, might feel love. Sitting upon a bench, head bowed, a tear falling from an eye. A shadow approached me, covering the brightness from above. I ignored it, hoping that the person would go away, just leave. But, I could not help but notice the fragrance that I sensed. The fragrance reminded of a love I had left behind, had lost. Memories of a face, smiling endlessly through the brightest eyes. Cheekbones so high, accenting a smile that said friendship. Eyes looking into the soul of a woman with the purest heart. A voice ever knowing of my needs, never wavering, always kind. Memories of so many moments, the laughter, the giggling. The times on a lawn chasing, running, breathless kisses. Hair flowing endlessly into the air, teasing my face. Lips of the most pure taste, accented in a reddish hue. I remember her walk, the look that she first gave me. It said to me......Caution, lady onboard, do not tread on. I always respected this lady, for she was a true belle. I think of a bell, a bell of mourning, of loss. I lost her long ago, she left one day, parts unknown. Heard many times she was here, there or somewhere. Tried to find an address from a friend, return to sender. Searched for years, nothing, but I did not give up. I decided that since the shadow would not leave, I might look. I didn’t find her, she is here, standing over me. Smiling eyes. |

Lost love, found love, love never lost. You cover a lot of emotional territory in this one, but leave us with a feeling of hope. Thanks. And this is really nice imagery: "Memories of so many moments, the laughter, the giggling. The times on a lawn chasing, running, breathless kisses. Hair flowing endlessly into the air, teasing my face. Lips of the most pure taste, accented in a reddish hue" [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (edited 10-17-2001).] |

I'm searching for the words to say...this touched me. I lost a love when I went to parts unknown. I tried to find him again, but he had moved, so this really hits a spot. Beautifully written If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Oh Magnus, this one really touched my heart. Very nice. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
