In The Time Before You came to me In the time before Through ages unknown A love unseen, yet evermore You brought the gift Of an Angels' Star How brightly it shone A bridge from afar Such sweet reprieve From life's long pain Those words unspoken Left a heart with much to gain So slow it seems As time rolls on 'Twas only yesterday The sun it shone Left only to wonder Was it just my folly? Chased the dream a step too far Left now to live with melancholy To reminisce lost love Behind time's heavy door When this heart knew love In the time before "Let me pierce the realm of glamour |

EagleOne, there is such longing in your beautiful words. You have touched a corner of my heart with this. Summon the courage to step out of your familiar, comfortable rut and suddenly many of those things which held you back will no longer have the power t |

I was just about to shut the computer off and go to bed. Glad I saw this before I did. I love this one. To reminisce lost love Behind time's heavy door When this heart knew love In the time before I've lived this loss, and truth to tell, never did get over it entirely. Maybe one day I will, maybe one day you will too. I really like this poem, though it brings back memories I try to forget. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? [This message has been edited by Tracey (edited 11-25-2001).] |

You wrote many feelings that many of us have felt. A time when all seemed right and then in a blink the time was changed. Also, a healing piece with words. I enjoyed this, friend, and glad to see you back here. ME |

*sigh* sometimes our memories of the times before are what give us hope for the time to come. It is so good to read your poems again. You have so much love to give that I pray you will not be alone for long. **big hugs** take care of you, my friend.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

My sweet Butterfly friend, it is obvious from your words that you understand oh so well! Your description of golden threads of memories is perfect, and yes the memories are indeed golden, if I could just have them without the ache! Thank you my friend, for your understanding and for you kind words. Take care! Startime ~ yes, they can give us hope too, a matter of perspective I guess. Thank you, take care! Nancy ~ I'm sorry for the ache, but I'll accept the hugs gladly, thanks for adding your thoughts! "Let me pierce the realm of glamour |
