Fallen Like stones

 Longing for these memories
that once
were held close

by two such loving people
indeed years 
had changed them both

wandering in circles
each differed as signs
aiming for happiness
in desolate times

gleaning the wants
souls life in being
before taken in laughter
now lost us each seeing

that love can mean more
than a physical touch
or lonely days shared
using each as a crutch

to love is a beauty
a feeling not known
to many who share life
now fallen like stones

by the wayside of loving
janitor's of thought
now who lust convenience 
a past life has taught.

So beautiful

Fallen like Stones. Great title and content. Yes how right your words are. Love can sometimes be taken for granted and yet love can be so much more than we expect or want for that matter. We live and learn. Love to you dear John. Later. XX

Every day things we all witness, and either ignore, or place within our memories, to be revealed at another time in life, when maybe it's too late to heal the wounds, or in fact we have forgotten how to play the game of LOVE... sorry I'm carrying on again, it's like a madness to keep these up fantasies and real moments as they clash in the brightness of a dream or in each day we live on. Thanks Liz I am always happy to hear from you, glad you liked the write. till next time Love John.

Dearest John

Reread and I must say, wonderful array of word use. I am slowly catching up and will be around to chat soon. I still find a sadness, no, on reread, a haunting of recollections. I am always trying to hold on to memories, maybe some I should let go of. Wonderful poem Dear Mantiscepter. XX

How nice to see you,

sort off, lol. Yes I squizzed through and there is quite a few I have to reply, bare with me hun, I will reply. I like to talk too much. I noticed last night that that the pics of old ones, lol bike etc, much to the disappointment to Kel, lol, would not come up, only the green back page. Any way, as for Aiden, he has grown too quick and he seems fairer in hair color. He is so soft and cuddly looking. Give him lots of hugs. I will reply better later but until then I am glad all is well, and just gotta tell ya, Kelvin has just walked in with a heap of mixed flowers. Some for me and the rest for the cemetery. they are beuatiful. Okay well, you take care and I will catch up this week and reply, fill you in etc. Extra hugs for all the bubs and love to you and yours from mine. Lyz XX
