Lost Memories

As time steals away memory

How can I hold you in my heart

The distance between us

Ever widening, forever apart

Take me back to the beginning

To that moment of our start

When we first began our journey

Of warm words and gentle hearts

The path held much promise

Of a destiny unknown

Together we would find it

The happiness our own

Something precious to hold on to

A chance for love to grow

A time to make our memories

In Love's happy glow...

What happened to our story

Where did it go

Why your sudden change of heart

How will I ever know?

Now it all seems so distant

A fading memory from the past

Taken by the shadows of time

As I walk the path alone...

Memories of Flowers

Memories of flowers

I gathered just for you

In your darkest hours

I cared for you

I reached out to help you

And show you the way

To light your direction

To the path of better days

To show you there was hope

Beyond the shadows and the gray

To lift the clouds of sadness

And take the darkness away

To fill your heart with sunshine

And melt the cold away

To help you find the happiness

You thought lost and gone away

And with the kindest heart

Breathe new life into your days ...

The End

If I could have put you in my heart,
If but I could have wrapped you in myself,
How glad I should have been!
And now the chart
Of memory unrolls again to me
The course of our journey here, before we had to part.

And oh, that you had never, never been
Some of your selves, my love, that some
Of your several faces I had never seen!
And still they come before me, and they go,

And I cry aloud in the moments that intervene.

And oh, my love, as I rock for you to-night,
And have not any longer any hope
To heal the suffering, or make requite
For all your life of asking and despair, 

I own that some of me is dead tonight.

Poem - 26 'The End'  D H Lawrence (1885 - 1930)

My Puppeteer

  

You who were once here

You who were my friend

You who were so kind

Have gone away

Without a word of farewell, no Goodbye.

Discarded until another day

Am I a memory long forgotten?

With you, you took my hopes and dreams

Did you not think that your words would bind my heart to you?

I remain a prisoner of my feelings for you

I am your puppet, your sad clown

You still control the strings that animate me

Could you not feel this heart that beats beneath my breast?

The beauty from within...

My face with no expression

But for the remnant of a tear...

I am suspended in a state of eternal sadness

Reaching out to you

Always hoping for some sign from you

That I still exist for you

That you are my friend

A kind word, a gesture, anything 

To bring some hope to my heart.

If you do not want me

If you do not care anymore

If I am not to be a part of your world

Then tell me, just say the words

Don't keep me in this state of endless silence

My heart is breaking slowly

For want of your attention

Release me from these strings

Release me from these ties that bind my heart to yours

And set me free ...

Your Words

Your words once spoken

Echo again

Across time and space

In a gentle voice

To awaken my heart

The images never forgotten

Take me to the beauty

The essence

Of places far away

Exotic, fragrant, alive 

With the resonance of life

All the more precious

For the presence of you

The music that is you

Encloses me

Surrounds me

Encompasses my heart

In a melody once lost

Waiting to be found

Memories come back to me

In waves of thoughts

Love and warmth
Feelings of you

In my times of solitude

Alone without you

They haunt me

And leave me with a feeling of want

Of longing, of need

And I find myself loving you still

Still more and again

You were the colour in my world

You were my light

I am a prisoner

Of my feelings for you

And I cannot escape

Your words, the feelings, the music

All that is you

I cannot forget you

So don't ask me to

I need you even more

I want you again ...
