Like Leafs falling from a Tree Leaves once lush in green now falling brown and dry Like snow flakes fill the sky The air filled with moistures mist It reminds me on that day we kissed Laughter is, what I remember Your arms around me, I surrender Once you were my friend my lover Now there is noting left for you to offer There were days when time was meaningless A smile, a note… found in each others bless The sun once our guiding star, so high aloft I recall your skin, it felt so soft Our love once so mighty Like stars at night gloom full and brightly They now have lost their flickering gleam Drowned in sorrows, why is live so mean The feeling now a sacred thought The empty room feels cold and odd A picture forms before my eyes You are gone, I begin to realize Your smile in memories is what I see Why did you had to go and leave me Like leafs that falling from a tree The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Oh, Helmut~ How wonderful to see you -  but how sad your write. Sending hugs to you and letting you know that you've been missed more than you could imagine. Sweet, sweet poet ... it's so very good to have you drop in. Hope you have the opportunity to do so more often. Love you, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Karilea "If I whisper, will you listen?" I always do, you know that. Thank you for your sweet whispered reply. I miss you all so very much, but work and life is taking a toll on me right now. I wish I had more time to relax, reply to other poetry. Hugs to you jmlee12345 I sure do too, and thank you for your kind words. I am not gone, just occupied. I sure appreciate you reading my poem. Rosemary You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Poetry is written to be read not to make one cry, but it's sure nice to know one is touched. Hugs to you too RainbowGirl I will let you know when spring like feeling rock my soul For now, to thank you sweetly is my goal I hope you're fine and life is well While I sit here enjoy the Hugs, can yoiu tell HUGS to U 2 suthern No suthern you are wonderful, and I've missed you too! Thank you Helmut The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
