passing by this is the time of lasting, when the flowers must send their parting gifts to lovers making dandelion wishes for an early spring but this not my time with you I can’t stay here, not today my words stall like kites; I can’t say hello though I pass too close and you are there, always, always there though never present not my time but this, this at least your eyes say though you are not here that there may be other days, other seasons or some day in some other season to be ours again, no other place to be, no other anything forgive me I do not mean to hurt you though you are not here but today I can’t, can’t stop this and I can’t stay here I’ll find another bench, face another way for now I mean and hope |

Jamie This poem is so heart touching. So many things in life bring a memory or a someone to light. I know this feeling too. ![]() [This message has been edited by Martie (11-04-2004 10:01 PM).] |

The first poem of my day draped me with smiles... and though I cling to them... this one seeps with sorrow, bringing weep. Some realities are simply heartbreaking... forgive me I do not mean to hurt you though you are not here but today I can’t, can’t stop this and I can’t stay here I’ll find another bench, face another way for now I mean and hope Your pen is a powerful one, my friend... I hope your hopes are fulfilled... Excellent write! |

Always so nice to read your thoughts. I must peruse this some more to understand the depths of you. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
