How can I ... when the words are caught within a shudder of overwhelm. When the memory of their time so deeply still moves me. When tears lie lingering within the corner of hazel eyes. The beauty of her, so radiant, so pure, yet so captive to the years that separated her from her knight.... Her hair, of the era, so soft and delicate, so desirous of touch....A man would sell his soul to have just his hand stroke the locks of a belle so fair... This dream, becoming a reality.....after years of what had never been.....I was there, my tears stained the pillow where he lay. Lie me upon the still cool earth that I might dream and touch a silken face hidden within the Grandfather’s clock... awaiting just the right tick of time to come and awaken within the walls of a room where countless affairs bloomed and a myriad of stars danced the ceiling above...as lovers kissed in torrid abandon... And, as the end brings to ears my last sigh, allow my soul to join what once was mine to cherish......that I might smile upon her face and weep forever....tears of joy.... For within my pocket lies nothing more than a hand awaiting her own....and love shall bloom eternal, somewhere in time. |

Most beautiful. What heart you have, what soul, your words a reflection of your essence. Thank you for letting me step into a romantic and magical realm . . . Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

"This dream, becoming a reality.....after years of what had never been.....I was there, my tears stained the pillow where he lay." Sad piece, especially that verse. ~Broken~ "Base not your joy upon the deeds of others, for what is given can be taken away." |

BJ, now this really was a hankey alert. Somewhere in Time; one of my favorite movies. And now, if I can bear to read this again, snif, snif, I'm saving it to my libary. You lovely man, you. ....jo |
