Friendship had 'finally come to the lovers who knew they had nothing more. Ben Taylor Hello River Hello river, you've come again. to flow through my eyes, and never end. A lonely heart sinks, as you run by. You're the only one who comes when I begin to cry, and hurt is there, in every tear, river please, stay away from here. Every day you come flowing through my eyes. As I look back on all the lies, a love that's lost, not to return, maybe someday I will learn, all I feel is sorrow anymore, why do they keep hurting me for? Tell me river, you're my best friend, when will all this hurting end?

In me Tracy Erickson DGHUIS OSIPOYU Q Images The veil of light lies misty against the sky Translucent rays sparkle dovsm spotting the earth with their brilliant shine. A prism of raindrops reflects images on multitudes of visions Kaleidoscopes of eolors merge into hues of living, revealing shades of love. 'The shade of love is a shimmering shadow trembling on the edge of light afraid to enter, afraid to retreat revealing only a glimpse of its beauty that so many seek to discover. Debbie Mobley knows I might fly away. Linda Lee A Riddle I am blue, bursting with beautiful dignity. I fill many a man's heart with sorrow and longings. Anyone who has crossed my path, I have left him behind on the side - defeated beyond imagination. Sam Macenczak

The lover of my dreams has kind eyes fstaring thru wire rim glassesj and 4 a generous smile Ithat shows a mouthful of braces.J Nancy Brian it's not that i'm afraid to say hello it's just that i never want the time to come when i'll have to say goodbye. Camille Taylor I can look into your eyes and love you, Or catch a glimpse of your hair as you turn the corner, And dream of the day when you'll notice me, Then our lips will touch and the Angels will sing. But it won't happen. Anyway, the Angels only sing for movies. Marna Scarry You're cold, but then you're sweet Before you stare, you're through You're too changeable I can never depend on you And you ask me what's the matter You're snobbish, you're cruel Never think about the fun you poke You giggle and laugh And call it all a joke And you ask me why I cry inside If tears are all that matter Then it doesn't matter at all Brad Kizzort T I. rj .., M 'uve C Music It is funny how music Is applicable to one's Life When he loses the one he loves. Tad Grisham Holiday Memories I found an old picture of you in my attic. An image of your soul, Your spirit in Kodacolor. Things always begin so slowly, and move on so smoothly. Yet, when the end comes it is always so sudden. Cindy Gill On the yellowing back of the picture A note was written. Taken in front of the old house where l was born 212157. I haven't the heart to tell you what you remind me of in this picture, But if you had come out of your house and seen your shadow I would have expected six more weeks of winter. Ronnie Wright No one had to tell me. I always knew that finally it would be like this. I always knew, that someday you would leave and someday I would be left alone. Cindy Neal

it's just as nice, to go to sleep at night and hear someone say i love you when you were thinking just the same thing about them. Marty Wallis Into The Lake Pick up the pieces And throw them with your polished Stones . . . and watch them splash. Ben Taylor Trees are human, for we have emotions. I can remember when that couple came and carved their initials in me. They were so very happy. As the years went by the couple would come back and sit under the shade of my branches. I felt like a protective mother to them, and when they came to me in tears, I ached for them. Diane Dorsey When you spoke it was an unreality. My senses had dulled and I was in a fantasy. Your words reached me but I couldn't control them. My mind was foggedg and your words were lost in the mist, running like a frightened child. I tried to pull your words together in a string that I could ready but they kept snarling and knotting until their meaning was too tangled. Finally I gave up hope and collapsed in my fantasy where no words can reach and no thoughts can hurt. Debbie Mobley Oi! 3 I have no Idea' Left is an empty sheet of paper at the desk of a writer, Or an empty boxing glove Of a noted fighter, No weights for an athelete to lift, No paper for the wrapper of a gift, Or a guitar with no strings to play, So when I take you out tell me I' What to say.
