This is an "oldie but goodie" that I found collecting dustballs in my poetry notebook. As I continue to "clean house" and start anew with my writing, I thought I would post this last glimpse of a romance from the past. Weird...why do I feel like I have come full circle by posting this? lol rascalx - (1999-2001) ---------------------------------------------------- Missing you... (v1) Memories of your eyes caught in the candlelit glow of dancing sparks within them My heart is trip hammering dancing to Van Morrison's "brown eyed girl" in double time (Chorus) I'm missing you again like the hundreds of times before I'm scared to fall in love with you but my heart and soul want so much more I've had so many dreams of you but I never dreamed that they would come true and I'm happily unsure of what to do because I'm missing you again (v2) Memories of your smile radiating from your face and I feel the blush across my cheeks as I listen to your beautiful laugh saying the things to me that your words shyly hint at (Chorus) (v3) Memories of your touch nerves tingling as my skin ripples from the goosebump chills of your soft fingertips skin to skin but the warmth we're feeling radiating from within as our passions combine into one (Bridge) We've opened one door but there are so many more and I hear the one behind me closing the way from before I'm scared to move forward but the way to you is beckoning ahead and I know that if I don't take one step forward I'll be missing you instead (Chorus - fade out) "People say I should learn some self control; but I just want to exorcise my soul" |

Very very touching write Jeff! Seems most of us are in a reflective mood tonight. BTW..."Second star on the right, then straight on till morning." *smile*...(the directions to Never-Never Land.) ~hugs, Nancy~ ~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before.~ |

Carol, Thank you for your kind words. When I write a song, it's sorta funny because I start off just putting words together but somewhere in the middle of the poem, I begin to hear the music. Nancy, Yes, I am feeling a bit reflective tonight. Cool autumn nights tend to do that to me. So, did you bring enough fairy dust for two? Hey, let's sprinkle a little on everyone here! We could all use a flight to Never-Never land every now and then. - Jeff PS> oops, I just realized that I accidentally used my "new" ID to respond to my "old" ID's last poem. lol Sorry for bumping myself y'all.

You make music very well with your words, Jeff. This is beautifully romantic. And, Nancy, I would love some of that fairy dust you have to give out. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Jeff, Beatiful I could hear the music in my mind as I read this. I'm glad you found it and shared it with us. Hugs, Tara "My heart is like an open book, for the whole world to read" |

because sometimes, you have to go back to the beginning to get to the end. . . and then, you start all over again, in a different direction. . . great job Jeff. . . --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.
