We live in a world of "what if" A world of dreams unrealized "If only" begins many statements Sadness rains down broken dreams Storm clouds gather 'round Building a force to struggle free Reaching out to grasp that golden ring Only to open an empty hand Swept away within sacred memories Fragmented pieces that lie under foot Fear of waking to deafening emptiness Words upon paper sodden with despair Of a future that may never be Tormented by the taste of desire Cloaked within arms that held tight Fierce kisses that burn the flesh Hunger churns to become as one What if this day never ended If only we had more time Would we surrender to circumstance Torn hearts left unshielded More than distance separates Can you hear that melancholy music A single note haunting your memory Tugging at your heart strings Waiting to become a whole song One that will sing in the breeze Forever present within your mind What if it could If only it would
Dee, I truly enjoyed "If Only." This piece brought on emotions that only a great poet like yourself can do. I hope someday I can express myself this well... ED
Tormented by the taste of desire
Cloaked within arms that held tight
Fierce kisses that burn the flesh
Hunger churns to become as one
What if this day never ended
Sepsis knocked her down and out. Faith, hope, and gave her the strength to get back on her feet. I am a Runner She fought the river of death They said she'd never run again
She proved them wrong...
This is not a drill. The attack on Pearl. They were the ghost planes of the night, deadly, illusive, sharp-clawed Black Cats. The Memoirs of ARM H.P. Lawrence, a Pearl Harbor survivor, Black Cat, and decorated war veteran.
