Left Behind Along the road of hearts entwined I seem to never find beloved designed by Cupid's bow for only me alas, I'm cast to misery ~ Faith's fool, I pray to heaven above to mystic moon, to send me a love one that's defined by my soul's very voice one that's destiny's perfect choice ~ Still, the sky and moon are not alligned it seems a kismet kind I'll never find a soulmate who knows of rapture refined one that is strong to stand the test of time ~ Oh, night of butter toffee stars why do you mock me from afar? have you not loved, have you not felt? the hand of jokers I've been dealt? ~ Hopes erase as dreams unwind, sorrow screams within my mind, will romancing and dancing set me free? will a beautiful kiss ever taste me? ~ I gaze at nature's grandest of shows seeing lovers unfold in petals of rose like a feather on the wind, they shall be akin with timeless reverie laughing through days on sigh's amaze on promises, true, not meant for me ~ Even Spring is cold when you're alone pricked by thorns that cut to the bone everything has it's purpose...it's season, I know but, why must I die when everyone grows? ~ Why must love be stripped away when shown to be dangled in dreams then set to stone? Why breathe when passion has no home? Accepting that any chance of amore has flown ~ Along the trail of hearts entwined in weeping walk to truth, unkind it seems peace of mind I'll never find just defeat and despair to pollute the air with the pain of forever being left behind By Melissa P.

(sad sigh) Oh Melissa, I know just how you feel, for I always feel like a fool too when I dream of love and wake up knowing it was too good to be true. (big hugggssssss) But I also know deep down, with all my heart, that He is preparing all our loves for our hearts, and He will give us all eternal happiness! (sigh) Always believe in yourself, sweet friend, for the perfect love of your life will come to you and give you heaven forever! (sigh) Spring will blossom in your loving heart, sweet friend, I believe in you! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet Melissa! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet honeybee, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

This is heart wrenchingly beautiful Melissa. But, your poetry always leaves me in awe of your talent. May the new year bring new love to fill your heart and pen. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Ah Melissa, you know this is the story of my life. "Why must love be stripped away when shown to be dangled in dreams then set to stone? Why breathe when passion has no home? Accepting that any chance of amore has flown" These are the questions I ask every day. Beautifully done, my friend Sandra |

Melissa, this is a wonderful write. Love will come your way. I've always heard that there is someone out there for everyone. When you least expect it, it will come to you. |
