I knew you knew, that which drove me away, far into the universe, bouncing off stars. Remembering the moment that your comet collided with my sun and darkness covered my soul. Remembering a day when butterflies had not sprung forth, when birds ruffled their winter feathers and a fire crackled lazily behind us....as you cried. Thinking of moments when lips touched lightly and the scent of you drowned me, washed over my soul and cast stardust to the four corners of earth. I still feel your hair within my hands, slipping softly as would cool water through fingers, till the last drop pools beneath me, mingling with my own tears, tears of joy... For joy came to us on dove’s wings, soaring higher than clouds of cotton and gold. Sliding down a rainbow, jumping onto a roller coaster of lust and desire. I won’t forget you, you are part of me. A part of me that will die with me and wither as will my bones in the cold hard earth. For though you have said Ciao with your eyes, and my smile struggles to answer....you will never leave the memories I hold at night....or the dreams that feed me generously...feverishly...each moment I sleep. |

Oh my Barry - my, oh, my - beautiful, sad, loving, lost - makes one wish to reach a hand out in compassion and soothe the ache - Very moving, Dear Sir- ![]() Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

OMG Barry: I won’t forget you, you are part of me. A part of me that will die with me and wither as will my bones in the cold hard earth. For though you have said Ciao with your eyes, and my smile struggles to answer....you will never leave the memories I hold at night....or the dreams that feed me generously...feverishly...each moment I sleep. I know this well, you have my chin all crumpled up over here. |
