...yesterday... by NothingNess
Open full image in new tabDescription
Yesterday slipped easily into the past as we slept You in your bed and I in mine I tried to catch the seconds as they fell Minutes slipped by Hours stack one upon another Precious days and nights Gathered like pages of a scrapbook in my mind Clinging to a page I'm not ready to turn Reliving memories now gone Visions exquisite and sweet To keep and hold near Laughter that bring tears to my eyes Scent of your skin in the autumn breeze My head on your chest Your thundering heart Moonlit shadows in water The hours lived between dusk and dawn Yesterday I held you in my arms Yesterday is gone For everything there is a reason For everything there is a season The future guards her secrets well
Written October 12, 2006. Thanks for your time.

Poignant and very touching ... separation - for whatever reason, and whatever length of time - is always painful. You've expressed your suffering well. Mike

Very thought provoking and words we can all associate with at some or other stage in our lives. Well said.

You've touched a chord in me and I would guess many other people would agree. Very well done. :0)

Beautifully said...Your first two lines are real attention grabbers,and you don't disappoint from there.Beautifully articulated sentiments and most heart-stirring words.You can tell these feelings are genuine...I hope you won't mind my saying this,but I found the line that says,'But I'm not quite ready...' a bit jolting.I would rather something 'softer' like,'Stopping on a page I'm not ready to turn...',or something to that effect...Otherwise,I think you did a wonderful job with this.Thank you for sharing and also to Jodie,(Odie) for sending me this link.-M :^)

How poignantly lovely. They should have a warning may cause misty eyes! This is going to favorites! My Dad used to say sharing pain cuts it in half. Here's hoping. Thanks for sharing. BJ

Your poems always make me want to cry. You have such a gift for bringing the reader right to the point-the heart of the matter. Your recent postings are beautiful as always. When I haven't been on in a while your postings are always something to look forward to!
