 Picture by Alan Ayers * * * The signs weren't always clear Although I thought our love was stable But I failed to heed the warnings That were written on your label Warm winds that once embraced me Now chill me to the bone As I walk along the shore Feeling sad and all alone You used my love completely For me, you did not care Now you've left me for another My heart and soul lay bare One day I'll love another And once again I'll walk this shore By then you'll be a faded memory Part of the life I knew before * * * I should point out that this was not written about me or anyone else in particular. I am in motion |

Very nice. I'm sure there is a 'real' person who could relate 100% to this one, Glad it isn't you. |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Sue, I'm glad you don't relate to this, sweet friend, though they are many I'm sure who feel this way and my heart goes out to them all! (sad sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

well the heartache and strength sounds so vivid that it's hard to believe that it didn't come from personal experience...Sue, wonderful write, and so many can relate. |

Sue darling heart this is wonderful and you are an incredible writer, yes, you are you know, and it is in the realms of dreams where your touch stirs me most. One of your most dazzling arts is that you show the picture colour the canvas and shine the light. You know I love this, I love it utterly utterly utterly. And I thank the Lord it is not written from personal experience Inside the dream of make believe its true I found a thought that strayed of you I wasn’t aware it had stayed on Like the notes of yesterday’s song It wasn’t the truth how could it be You never gave the truth to me All I had was a froth of fairy tale A never story that was cold and pale Within the depths far from light There a memory stark as night It has no place of worth in me I haven’t kept it especially A thought that’s all a thought of this An memory of a cold kiss No reason for it to stay with me I don’t need its iced memory There in a whisper I hear you A puzzle that tastes of rue I hear the voice of deceit and guile That wrapped me in bubbles for awhile When they burst you were gone You’d left to sing another’s song All that’s left is that lost memory And I know it could scar me I let it lie in that abandoned place I don’t want its touch nor its cold trace Marsha Excellent writing my dearest friend, take care and peace and love to you  Love and warm stuff as always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Wow, Sue. I love your poem. And then on top of it I got a good one from Marsha, too. I'm lucky sometimes! Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
