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 . . .

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.
In . . .

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, . . .

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 . . .

Would you mind if I borrowed your dream?
Somebody stepped on mine
And the broken pieces crumble
and scatter more with the passage of time.
And could I maybe stand in your shoes
And try to feel taller . . .

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 . . .

Leaning on the cracked, discolored concrete wall,
I stare down into the sluggish green creek.
My eyes focus on faded beer cans,broken bottles,
And semi-shredded pampers.
My thoughts slide inevitably . . .

It hurts to love somebody
When you know that they don't care.
There are times when you feel like crying,
But you know it will lead nowhere.
Sometimes I fall into your eyes
And in my head . . .

This is a poem that I just couldn't finish. I started it a long time ago and don't remember what my original intent was. I feel it needs more though, so I am putting it out here for . . .

I miss the way things used to be
When our world was simply you and me.
And I could show the love I now must hide
the days when my tears were still uncried
I miss the days when we were young and . . .

My best friend wrote this and gave me permission to publish it here. She has a Gather page, Wendy W. but doesn't visit too often. It is ironic because she is the one who led me . . .

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.

There are days when love just isn't enough And I get lost in the muck of other stuff, When little stones become ten feet tall And puddles don't have a bottom at all. There are days when it seems my heart . . .

If I'd died while you still loved me, Then I would never know the pain of watching you walk away and being all alone again. If I'd died in the beginning, before I memorized your face, then I wouldn't . . .

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 . . .
