~*Raindrops Of Remember*~ Parched lips so often thirsting for your kiss Recall a time entangled in such bliss This arid heart sustained with reminisce Once filled with love now lost in vast abyss Though oceans of our hearts we've sailed before No longer will we reach love's peaceful shore The captain of my humble ship no more I lived for nothing more than your adore We crossed the bridge of love and paid the toll Now memories are all that will console Such desolation reigns within my soul I pray the rains will come and make me whole Now here I stand, heart cleansed of all regret These raindrops of remember ne'er forget ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

Vicky, a very beautiful, though heart-wrenching poem. . . . (I guess if you had put the "Paper-clip" one in here, I would want it in the book, too....HeeHee!!!!) |

A beautiful sonnet, Vicky! I really enjoyed reading this.. I love the clensing power of rain, although it's flooding here! :P But anyway.. you have my vote. I hope (If my poem gets in!) that ours will be side by side, my friend! Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.--Jesus Christ |

"I pray the rains will come and make me whole Now here I stand, heart cleansed of all regret These raindrops of remember ne'er forget" Vicky, this is stunning, not only should it be in the book, it's going into my library too! |

Girl, I gotta read more of your stuff, because this just blew me away. This is the best poem that I've read from you, very flowing, very touching... you took this format and just made it yours. Like the poem doesn't fit the format... rather, the format fits the poem. Just how sonnet should be. It's nice to see so many submissions of this format, I think yours is amongst the better ones and this is why I'm giving you my vote. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

Vicky, Excellent write. Don't know where you found the rain! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
