The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2001-11-13 11:59 AM


I once believed in fairy tales
and happily ever after
I once believed in wishing stars
and the joy I found in laughter

I once believed in carpet rides
soaring over moonlight filled nights
I once believed in lovers truth
while his arms made life feel so right

I once believed my prince had come
on his proverbial white steed
I once believed in magic kiss
now there's nothing left to believe.

Nothing to believe in anymore,
No reason to walk the moonlight
Or wade the wave at the shore,
Nothing to make believing right.

The world turns bland and tasteless,
No smells of salty winds now blow,
It’s something familiar like darkness
Not believing is something I know

wow, this is really sad.
um.
so,
since i'm just That Kind of Guy (tm) want me to find whoever this guy is and squeeze his neck until his head turns purple?
failing that, i wish you nothing but the best - this poem is sad, but it demonstrates beautifully what a talent you truly have. i deeply enjoy reading your work.

(big hugggsssssss) This is so very sad, sweet Sandra, I've always believed in these things myself, then sometimes when I dream maybe I could take the hand of my lovely princess and ride with her into romance, my heart breaks and can't help but doubt if it'll come true and If I'll ever feel loves first kiss! (sigh) But I know deep down if you believe in yourself, your dreams will come true. Say to yourself, "I believe in magic, and I will find the prince of my dreams and live happily after after forever!". You deserve the most beautiful love, and I know with all my heart you will have your heart singing as the angels rejoice in your happiness! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet Sandra!!! (kiss on cheek) Hope you have a beautiful day! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sandra, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I see this as a double-edged sword,
sad if you have not found such treasures
but if only, in my belief, and word ...
happy that you understand love's measures.

Once we experience something we believe in,
it is no longer, it becomes known.
Such as the magical kiss, once tasted you will know there is no more searching for something to believe in.

This is what I see, hope its close to home.

Disneyland is a great place to visit don't you think Duncan ...
a place where dreams can be made after all for some.

Which is why we're all better off in Disneyland.

Just because one man turned into a black knight doesn't mean they all are. Sweetie...hold on to dreams or when your shining knight comes along you might miss him. Put those stars back into you eyes. ***hugs***

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

for now you shall put away
those dreams that led you astray
the knight is not at your door
but never fear, for ever more

the dreams are yours, in hand you hold
all your future, soon yours in gold...

so do with those what you will
give their lives a new fulfill
and dreams shall once again come true
for with a wink, I believe in you...
