[hometext] => not that great but they can not all be a masterpiece.
[bodytext] => Ebbing Tide of Memory I said goodbye She did not smile bewildered No this isn/'/t it My friend so dear with promised harbor I travel upon my own lonely path sailed the sea unforgiven and restless. So it was I wandered... As the young and the fools often do Into the sunlit smile a mirage of golden promise Just over the horizon. I/'/ll find it So I/'/ve thought That great mystery That great answer into the arms of "ever-after" Yes... just over the horizon. How many sunsets alone? Can I even count the harbors where my bow has lain? Yes the docks so sultry sweet though nets lay often empty or the occasional few laden with the flotsam cans of refuse. which refuse to be filled differently. Oh but those few... were nearly the end of me Dragged down by the rode It was within their nets I learned Even the most lovely of isles Can have gleaming hearts of treachery beneath their golden sands. Ah... to recognize the roundness of the earth I see... I/'/ve sailed these waters before Even if in memory recalling the surge of her tides upon me left within my wake. Yes... I should have dropped anchor set the rode. Within these waters I should have loved yet... always have Currents laden with pain... and regret moored in the ebbing tide of memory realizing... I never should have said goodbye. --wheels-- [comments] => 2 [counter] => 124 [topic] => 22 [informant] => wheels [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
