You and I were never strangers.
long before we ever met
you held the key to my heart.
You were one I could never forget.
In another world, another time,
We have done it all before,
But one . . .

At the end of my life, I live,
And dream my way back
Through a thousand acres of time
To when I sat small and unalone,
Listening to the whispers
Of unloved maple leaves.
At the end of my life, . . .

In the park
a chubby pink child
rests on a bench
in her mother's arms,
eating long strands of blond hair
in affectionate clumps,
and staring at embracing lovers
who smile back.

We strive for the secret,
Yet never quite reach it.
And the old are still the young
With grayer hair and paper skin,
While the child plays house
In Mama's clothes,
Innocent, yet knowing. . . .

I used to keep my heart
In a woven wicker basket
On a cluttered closet shelf.
It was safe there.
You came along one day
bringing candied sunshine on a stick,
I put it away in a black box
Beneath . . .

A lop-sided moon
Shows its pock-marked face,
Smirking in a sky bereft of cloud.
While winter trees stretch,
Twisting their limbs toward the sky,
Lifting their last blood dried leaves in silence, . . .

There is beauty in my dark world Though at times it may seem bleak Flecks of joy taint tears of sorrow That linger on my cheek. Though the gold eludes the rainbow and that makes me want to cry, the colors . . .

Left alone,
locked in the past.
Forgotten friendships
buried,
Never meant to last.
Left alone
Time standing still
Unforeseen,
this bitter pill.
Left alone,
The sky is gray
It wasn't meant . . .

I waited for you with bated breath
In hopes that once again,
We could share that oneness
we knew when we were friends.
But has time and distance erased
The closeness we once knew?
Because . . .

Alone in the darkness, I stand at my window and gaze down on my deserted block, barely lit by a single street lamp. Suddenly, I see him, The old man sitting lonely On the September cold, concrete steps . . .

I decided to post this to a few more groups for those who may not have seen it.
At the foot of a tree Brown wisps of memory Clutter the ground and choke the grass But the tree . . .

Lying on my back, gazing at the sky I think of you and I can fly Soaring high over oceans so blue, This makes no sense, but it is oh so true.
In loving you there is no in between. When we're together . . .

You are the ray of light in my dusty sky. Some days your're the only reason I don't cry. At other times you'd best believe, You're the reason I remember to breathe. Spending time with you gives me hope. . . .

" What are you willing to sacrifice?"
He wasn't sure I heard so he asked me twice,
And I had no idea what I should say,
But he needed an answer and he wanted it today.
For years my life . . .

Love for you burns within me, But I am lost in the shadow of a dream. How could you forget? And leave me to wander without wandering, Unable to move on, unable to let go. Don't you know? Recognize . . .

It had been a long time since I saw you,
Then somebody told me you died.
Despite all the years, I stopped where I stood,
And I fell to me knees, and I cried.
It's funny how life goes on. . . .

I carry you beneath my eyelids, Damp and full of love. You collect in my lashes and try to escape as a tear on the run down my cheek But I wrap you in tissue And plant you close to my heart.

This is something completely out of the box for me. I've been working on it for a while and I kept getting stuck. I guess I have finished it, but I am not sure if I did what I wanted . . .

I watch you walk away And I get scared you won't come back, So my systems start to get muddled and my life gets knocked off track. Deep down I know you love me, But I always want you near. Losing you . . .

I remember No need to explain Both tumbling together down memory lane.
I remember Brings both smiles and tears For all that's happened throughout the years.
I remember No need to supply It's not . . .
