Dried memories of our former love
continue in my heart...
cherished like a lover's rose
held in the neglected pages
of a once read classic
When I think of you
dreams of passion flood my mind
with the fragrance of love's bouquet
allowing yesterday to live forever
and forever to touch today
You loved me like no other
holding my heart with
the warmth of your promise
not caring that I was damaged beyond repair
unable to return your affection
I love you for loving me
but my heart will never be yours...
it dwells in the graveyard of lost romance
an eternal victim to the suicide of broken dreams
pressed between the pages of soft reflection
"it dwells in the graveyard of lost romance
an eternal victim to the suicide of broken dreams
pressed between the pages of soft reflection"
excellent lines embodied ina very powerfuk poem...
Powerful piece, the verses " allowing yesterday to live forever and forever to touch today. " Really jumped out at me for some reason. Keep up the great writing, and may God Bless you!

Such poignant beauty in these images of devastating sadness. Superb stuff.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

A very sad poem, even sadder is the thought that it should take such sadness, to create such beautiful poetry.----Morchuis
find you and treat you like the wonderful
woman you are.
Sad, but a hell of a poem..
