Oh what misery descends upon me And oh, what things I see which will never be What treasures are left to be found And will heralding horns make their sound? Atlantis lies asleep in its watery grave No more lives nor souls to save No more secret paths through woods to discover Nor ancient relics to recover Oh, what pitiful, miserable wretch Nothing left down the stretch All the lessons have been learned And all the bridges have been burned Too many sunsets wasted And too many salty tears tasted No more innocent hearts unbroken All the lies between the truth are spoken I took all the world would give And yet, still on I live Oh me, pitiful, miserable wretch Misery is all there is, and nothing left |

great work as usual ...know this feeling all to well what do you do when you feel like you've lived it all seen it all heard it all done it all wrote it all even ... been trying to figure that out on my own so maybe I'm just projecting my own thoughts on to your poem ... ~*Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear*~ |

This was wonderful JML!! Sorry to steal the title name... I hadn't even seen your similar title until after I posted.. sorry hon. As for the poem with the Atlantis references made it quite mythical  May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

you wallow in your misery most poetically...  very sad jer...mind over matter(smile) stalking you always, your jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |

A lovely expression of sorrow and depression. I really enjoyed the line about sunsets wasted. jannel "I'm just saying that we've mistaken one for thousands of words, and for that mistake I've caused you such pain that I damn that word." -10000 Maniacs "Jezebel" |
