With Words I feel the touch of nothing comparing it to memories. Viewing the moments frame by frame forgetting what it felt like to walk hand in hand across snow covered ground under the moonlit sky. Rummaging through drawers trying to empty what I have held onto far too long, all those I love you cards, and diamonds are forever presents and I just sink that much further into this chaos that controls me. It's a lost battle, already wasted years in the waiting for who knows what, doomed to words that decay from time to time. A part of me is missing leaving behind the tears that seem to flow at the oddest moments faking the happy, with sadness their reason. I have pains, emptiness pains, that shift locations unable to stay within my heart, their ache wishing an out. I remember wearing this when... and the celebrations of... becoming overwhelmed with the choices to rid or not to, of once meaningful objects, clothing, jewelry... Then there is you, who can bring a smile to this heart that longs but doubts the deserving of. And so the tears fall as I try to fill my empty days with words. "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

And so the tears fall as I try to fill my empty days with words. and a beautiful filling they become...sometimes they are the only place where we don't have to harbor any doubts about the suitors of the heart |

Your mind turns to a lot of things. What might have been, what was. Supports vanished and self has to rise. Dave |

"what it felt like to walk hand in hand across snow covered ground under the moonlit sky." I loved those lines. Made me wish.... "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

It's a lost battle, already wasted years in the waiting for who knows what, doomed to words that decay from time to time. Was discussing this very thought yesterday with a friend. Very intense write. Enjoyed, dear Maureen. Love, Margherita |

“into this chaos that controls me.” But isn’t that chaos the best part of living? Love this poem! It’s a keeper for me. JL She said: ”You look cute in the dark.” |

"Rummaging through drawers trying to empty what I have held onto far too long," "A part of me is missing leaving behind the tears that seem to flow at the oddest moments faking the happy, with sadness their reason." this sure strikes a cord in me... |
