And who would be my hero?
Who would save me from myself?
You...
With idle words and promises
you never meant to keep?
No one else loves me
the way you do...
Nothing but words you use,
but only when you choose.
No one else hears me when I cry...
You just kept walking past
again, eager to fly...
For that I am now grateful....
I am aware of your deceit,
and though I reached for you,
I am content to be alone,
where I can finally breathe.

I don't understand it.
It is such a mystery to me
even in my denial
you reach in
and touch me.
I am comforted enough
just by the sound
of your voice
to lay down
in peaceful sleep.
Maybe that was your intent.
Maybe I should be content.
In a way, I am glad
you let me down again.
It answers a lot of questions I had...
Now I know the answers.....
No....to all of them.

how gracious you seek my softness in days when brittle are the eyes that do not look at you.  |

ignorance breeds muted ears,
lest it be there loss,
of not having your wonder and happiness
in their lives

Just a whisper
lost in the wind...
no beginning
no end.....
Just a moment
of remembering
just how much
you mean to me....

Love?
What is love?
I do not remember...
I was in love..
I am sure
sometime
down the line.
It just died
somewhere
deep inside
and I left it lay...
No more.
Nothing left to say..
Nothing here today
but some....
distant memory,
some hankering,
lingering thought,
deep in the night.
But I find it
very peaceful
and very quiet....
and I am pacified...
I was in love..
I am sure
somewhere
down the line,
I do not remember.

My Funny Valentine all done up in red.
Yellowed pages of letters tied in string.
I remember all these things.
I helped you cross into your new life.
I spoke the vows and became your wife
But, only for a while....until,
that time for us was over, and done,
for you, anyway, it seemed, yet...
I remember all these things.
Today I am alone,
So are you....funny how things go..
I wonder today,
if you are remembering too,
all the ways I loved you.

Love Comes
Love comes
In many
Forms,
In many
Ways,
And Times.
It never changes,
Never fades,
It just
Waits
For us
To find it.

If you ever change your mind,
please, don't let me know.
Just walk away
and I'll be fine,
just as I was before.
Empty, yes, but so what.
I am stronger than you know.
Now that I have felt your love
Nothing can touch or
hurt me anymore.
I have a lifetime of dreams
to share with you, now,
the choice is yours.
You can stay
wrapped up here in my arms,
or just turn and walk away.
I won't beg you.
I won't plead.
Because you see
You mean that much to me, and if
I thought I had to speak,
the spell would be broken, anyway.

I reached for you last night.
I haven't done that in a while
and though my arms came away empty
I went back to sleep with a smile.
Too many years gone by..
Too many miles still
separating you and I.
Too many unfulfilled dreams.
Too many unshed tears to cry.
It never gets any easier.
It never really leaves.
True love does last forever
no matter how it seems.

We could blame it on the rain.
Sit around and just complain.
Things will never be the same
but, we aren't on that road today.
Yesterday is still history.
I showed you what you meant to me.
You can't take those thoughts away.
Go ahead, make your escape.
It's too late, I've turned away.
I've got to go...I just can't stay.
My heart has just begun to heal,
and now you know just how I feel.
Some other place, some other time.
Some other world, not yours, or mine.
It was good to hear your voice.
At least, I know I made my choice.
Sometimes, you just got to let it go.
Follow your pride right out the door.
Tonight, my heart will be at ease.
I am finally at peace.
No haunting dreams, no crying out.
I know again what life's about.
There is much I need to do
To fill complete, here, without you.

The Past...Weekend
Full moon
on the rise,
alcohol and
bad memories,
proved to all be
a bad combination
for me.
Unexpected phone calls
from the haunted past
I am still trying
to forget,
brought it all back
home to me.
Sadness overtakes
the very air I breath...
and I am left,
feeling lost and lonely,
craving my past returned
to me if only for
one brief moment....
Knowing full well
the harm inflicted
has already done too
much damage
to ever
really go back,
except in memory,
or in my dreams....
where things can still
look good to me.
When the moon is full
and the night lays
out ahead of me
once again, I will
let myself remember you,
and how our love used to be,
just for old times sake....
and nothing more....
Isn't that what dreams are for?

no, i will not that last hanging seam
that tied us in ribbons
of rainbowed dances
sparkling in the mist
of "yes"
and never
"no".

(((((((((Sam and Dawn)))))))))
~*~
no finer metaphorical
glittered glamor of gold dust
was ever thrown into a line
than the soulful
lament found
in a lost love song...
~*~
i hear the wounds opening
in your hearts and i wish to touch
the throb of it and ease your pain...
since we know, to reach inside your chest
would cause unmitigated further pain without gain...
i shall simply leave the refrain that i wish i could...
touch your pain and take it away...deep into the palm
of my hand, suture your lovelorn wounds with deft fingers...
fling my now love scarred hand to the sky and release your pain
from my open hand to the heavens to be carried away, far and away from you...
we all know, i can't do that...but, it was a nice thought...
i enjoyed the visual...how about you, two?
now, you've both got me crying...
that's cool...already been doing that all day,
on the sly, when no one's watching me...LOL...
but, mine is due mostly to a dratted hormonal upsurge...
arghargharghityargh!!!!!!!!!!!! pms, now there's a funky subject
to address...the moon as usual, doing her thing, driving my Cancerian
mind insane on top of the pms-ing i'm already doing...my hair feels like it's standing
on end...oh, wait...it is...LOL...are you guys, laughing yet? ah, guess what?
i finally broke down and washed away my silver crown, gals...
literally and symbolically...LOL...with the help of Loreal...
mini-me rejoiced! "I've got my young mom, back!
I've got my young mom, back!" Kids! LOL...
I kind of liked my silver crown and wings...
I think I do Lily Munster quite well...ggglgggl...
ya'll take care of your minds and spirits
while those broken hearts are mending...
hugz and moocheeze but not a drop of green slime! Sabrina.

From the very start
I knew
things were really
not as they seemed
I knew
I would awaken
and it was just
another random dream...
But, somehow
I also knew....
the feel of your hair,
the sound of your voice.
I remembered
even the smell
of your skin,
the feel of your body
molded close
next to mine,
and somehow I know
I will see you
somewhere,
somehow,
again....
and I am content
to wait...
for truly now
I know,
it is true
nothing,
or no one else,
will do....

I could stand and shout it
from the highest hill
I could scream it
until my voice was shrill...
Would it even matter to you
if I let my feelings show?
There's no doubt about it,
no more need to hide it.
And I think it's time you know...
I'm in love with you...
No need to hide it,
no doubt about it...
I am sure.

So what do I Know About Love?
I have loved you
with all my heart and soul.
I long for you
and reach out with empty arms.
I feel you
your body next to mine.
The taste of your kiss
remains on my lips,
such intoxicating wine..
The scent of your body..
the feel of your hands..
You are so near me, now,
You haunt me in my dreams
over and over...
all the time,
filling me with such need.
This confining power
is lost somewhere
between your world and mine.
I can not move on because
no one can compare...
You, alone, light up my soul.
I'm not complete
unless you are there.
So....I wait in silent wonder
and I ease into the night..
and when sleep once again
takes me to you,
I tremble with delight.
Sam

Who are you?
Why do I write
about someone
I do not know?
I have never
known you, yet
my heart aches,
and breaks,
over and over
as if another page
has just been turned
in some old, discarded
fairytale type storybook.
It has been read,
and reread,
as if you, too,
were searching
for someone
you remember.
Turn the page....
