Feelings Burned and Lessons Learned So love has walked out the door and left you with hope and nothing more. Don't chase her cause she doesn't want to be caught. If you catch her, then what? It may take awhile but soon you will accept your plight. Holding onto hope will never compare to holding her in your arms in the middle of the night. Loosen the grip of your fingertips. All the hope in the world can not compare to the pleasure of your sweetheart lying there. Oh I know it hurts way to much when you think of her smile and yearn for her touch. But happiness will never be found by wishing and hoping she was around. I know it seems like you leave a piece of your heart when you let go but it will all come back to you as you go with the flow. And as a semblance of order returns just write this one off as feelings burned and lessons learned. Jameslee@March24,2001 |

"loosen the grip of your fingertips" - that's so very hard to do. I enjoy your writing, JamesMichael.  "Often the test of courage is not to die but to live" |

"Oh I know it hurts way to much when you think of her smile and yearn for her touch. But happiness will never be found by wishing and hoping she was around." A beautiful lesson, laced with wisdom James ... very nicely penned, much enjoyed! Best wishes, /Kit |

I know it seems like you leave a piece of your heart when you let go but it will all come back to you as you go with the flow. And as a semblance of order returns just write this one off as feelings burned and lessons learned. ======================== SBJ ... I love the way you brought this one full circle and held on to the hope and let go of the bitterness... yes we learn all our lessons of the heart the hard way .. but if we can learn from it and not have our spirit broken so much so that we wont try again... then that is where the learning comes in. this is a sincere, well expressed poem with some really great lines and great rhyme flow well done poet sir!!  oh you speak to me in riddles |

You know what James??? I've always been amazed at you can express what I've been thinking. . . Yes. . . that's it. . . *sigh* -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

JamesMichael~ 'I know it seems like you leave a piece of your heart when you let go but it will all come back to you as you go with the flow.' Yes, sir ! And that's a fact ! Lift your oars from the water, my friend - sometimes the 'flow' will catch you just right. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

But happiness will never be found by wishing and hoping she was around. Amen. *S* This is great... Unfortunately, too many of us relate all too well. Well written! |
