Walls The walls that taunt, the halls that haunt The shuttered window panes of want The clocks that chime, the chains that bind The power of love that’s left behind The doors are locked, the sails are docked Unwavering footpath has been rocked No other place, no other face Just plastered walls and halls to pace I’m prisoner to the warmth of you I’m sister to the misty blue My eyes are victims of your charms My quivering skin, to warming arms My heart has cried the river dry My tears have asked the question why As embers burn, as heartaches churn The feel of you is just a yearn I could not hold a love grown cold Now only memories I behold But through the dust of prison’s must There is a feeling that I trust And it is this, that once held bliss Is but the moment of a kiss But sorrow’s hold, the sheen of gold Dwells in the heart til you grow old I would not trade the dues I’ve paid And memories of the love we made From time of birth, these joys on earth Are few, but hold the greatest worth Elizabeth Santos |

Nothing, absolutely nothing can ever take away a memory, and that is the greatest wonder of life. Those memories that we hold so dear to our hearts only grow dearer with age as a fine wine, and when we are thirty we can sip from them. Liz, this is so filled with mixed emotions, but done in such a "Santos Style" of precision and grace. |

I would not trade the dues I’ve paid And memories of the love we made From time of birth, these joys on earth Are few, but hold the greatest worth ***************** These words alone hold enough in them to make a complete lesson of the day. Wonderful write and I have so missed being here to read your works |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Elizabeth, there will always be walls in some places, many of which don't deserve to withstand there within the heart, but there will always be wide open spaces too where the sun will prosper and like sunflowers waltzing in the wind love can dance free! (wipes tears) Your golden heart is so deserving of this joy forever, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
