I'm starting to see a pattern
I'm meant to be alone
I saw it last night
When full the moon shown

When there is another
Ever so near
I begin to feel again
That terrible fear

I don't mean to
I just can't help myself
But I'm seeing my heart
There on the shelf

Is the fear of commitment
Or deep feelings inside
Either way I can't take it
So I'm just going to hide

I thought I was ready
To tackle this fear
But it has over taken me
Where I stand right here

Being alone
Isn't such a bad thing
It is just a word
With a terrible ring

Life is an interesting thing
In on the wind newness it brings
From places we dream both near and far
Traveling by bus or train or plane or car
To sit so close and now be together
And talk about things right down to the weather
Will we fit or mesh or gel
Or will we fight and argue and yell
These are the things we find out with time
These are the things that make me rhyme
I wonder and question the things of this day
Knowing we'll be friends come what may

Thanks Missy!

Jim, you have no idea what it means to me to hear that spoken from another person. I can only hope for that from him.

Thank you to all of my friends!!!

Thank you for being here when I need you most my friends!

Yesterday
Marked another
Year
Since the
Loss
Of the man
I called
Brother

Yesterday
Didn't bring
Tears
For the first
Time
In eight long
Years

Yesterday
The sun shown
Bright
In the California
Sky
Warming my
Heart

Yesterday
My mood was
Light
Even though
He
Is still holding
The biggest
Part

Yesterday
I remembered
Chris
Just as he was
Before
His life came to an
End

Yesterday
The man I did
Miss
But he is still
Truly
Thought of as my
Best
Friend



Yesterday marked 8 years of me missing my hero and best friend... the man, the Marine, the cop, the boy, my brother, and so much more to other people. Funny how it didn't hit me yesterday but today there are tears streaming down my face.

Always near Little Brother

(((Jim))) The melody of this is like floating in that deep blue. Very nicely done!!

I just love you for who you are and what you do Lady Wench!!

You have a marvelous hold on your reality and the lessons that were put before you my friend!


AMAZING!!

(((Huck))) You are right, I do relive it each day but I have gained the knowledge that I don't ahve to repeat it and that is the stand I now take.


(((Jim))) Thank you my friend!

You are fantastic! This made me feel like I was falling only to be scooped up by the foot of a child and given a good kick to keep me rolling.

A bruised ego just means another lesson learned and another poem written to keep the ghosts of the past busy reading.

(((Jim)))

Very touching and symbolic

Life has been sending me those slow ones that I can see all the way in and hit clear to the moon lately!

This is AWESOME (((Susan)))

My thanks to you and that sexy green machine!!!

(((Susan)))

Thanks 2K

The deaffening silence
Screams
Through my soul
To a heart that refuses
To hear

The blinding light
Sears
Through my memory
Into a brain that simply
Can't see

The unimaginable reality
Burrows
Through my life
To a time I utterly refuse
To relive

Thanks Anna!!

Hmmmmmmm... I like this. The imagery of something once great falling is amazing!
