More Grey than Blue Here yet again More Grey than Blue Can’t escape the pain Of loving you You fill my thoughts First and last Each day in flame My soul does bask I fell in love Perhaps a fool’s folly A life now lived Trapped in melancholy A heart once wrapped In a blanket of stars Now bleeds soft tears Cried from afar Still even now I welcome the glow With this flame eternal My way, you show I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on... ~ Jackson Browne |

Sometimes we can't help ourselves, love is long and gathers it's own tears. I'm in a pensive state on this last day and reflecting a bit too much...but I do remember my debut if you will, and you dear poet were the first to respond to me in passions. Thank you for coming back and marking the time. These are some nice lines you wrote~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (12-31-2002 09:13 PM).] |

BluesSerenade ~ I think this time of year is indeed for reminiscing. As always, I enjoy your thoughts, take care! Jan ~ ‘tis always close to my heart, thank you! Martie ~ yes it can be that way, as for the sadness, well it’s just another part of life I guess. Thank you, and best wishes for the New Year. I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on... ~ Jackson Browne |

I fell in love Perhaps a fool’s folly A life now lived Trapped in melancholy EagleOne, no, falling in love cannot be "a fool's folly." Let's just think of it as "taking a chance." If you don't take that chance, you might never know the thrill of it all. Yes, you remember that of which I speak. Your poem is wonderful. Happy New Year to you.

Your beautiful star dipped poetry always calls out...and Your poet dipped heart shines here. The memories are meant to be held and cherished and time never dulls their beauty, nor the longing to visit them for just an minute more... just as you have shown here. Exquisite writing my dear friend, as always when you pen from your heart~ [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (01-07-2003 09:20 PM).] |
