He stood for hours
trying to remember
what it was like
to sit comfortably
in the chair,
his favorite chair,
the one near the
fireplace, where
upon the mantle,
her picture stared.
Time had taken her,
as it had before,
but this time,
she would not return to him.
Remnants of their love
now glowed in the embers,
that crackled with each kiss
she had placed on his lips.
Warm they were, if ever dying,
like the heat raised up from the fire,
as the flickering of the flames receded
into the ashes of their lives.

...just bein' Bluesy

(big huggsssssss) This is so very sad yet powerful, sweet friend, my heart goes out to all who feel their love decay away and I send angel hugs of comfort and encouragement to get up and search for true love once more! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Beautiful.

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.
