Because
My love is lost.
I held it as a handful of sand, clenching my fist
to hold it there.
Yet, bit by bit, it slipped through my straining fingers.Now, nothing but memories of every smile, every kiss,
and, above all, every word.
For 'twas not into my ear you whispered but into
my heart.
'Twas not my lips you kissed, but my soul.And when I opened my tired hand and found my
love was gone
I trembled and died.My handful of existence has vanished.

My life in not so many words... sometimes at night, especially when I fall asleep, or let’s be honest for a minute, pass out on the floor, with my head against the front of the couch, I wish I knew how to stick around, I wish I knew how to fall in love and live happily ever after.
Your handful of existence has vanished... streets that I chanced upon, you had just walked down them and vanished. And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors were still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave back my too-sudden image. Who knows? Perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us yesterday, separate, in the evening...
@RestlessButterfly - that is in each of us, seperate. somtimes beyond the limits, the conventions, the expectations, we place on ourselves. for a mere instance, an eternity, kindred souls met ... and shared of each other, our longing, our pain, our weight of the world on our shoulders and yes, somehow a little love...
@jdortiz - Words... words... Charming, sophisticated words.
@RestlessButterfly - Why is it my friend that when I'm surf'n the web and read passage or poem, filling the thirst of my soul, that I'm reminded of you?
seperated by miles and miles of land ... miles and miles of oceans ... half a world away ... and yet we see the same moon ... the same bright and twinkling stars in the night ... and only the flick of an electron away.
@jdortiz - Because I'm quite poetic sometimes, perhaps? LOL
lol ... that you are my friend, lol that you are.
No doubt we have many many differences, but I would wager what we have more in common that we could even guess
@jdortiz - You're my friend too. My dearest friend and I respect you very much. *Hugs*
Sentiments that anyone can relate to, captured beautifully.
Yes ...moments in time..
Nice
