by: A Friend Met mine --- since I held you close and kissed you In the warm Hawaiian sun. Scenes of you still flicker thru my mind Surrounding me with memories of love. Yet still, Of all those times, those thoughts, remembrances of �us� Unbidden, it is others that hold sway................. Let's not forget --- One weekend, when we met Ventured beyond the shells we both had worn Exploring some �what if's � might be...... Yet, even so Of all these times, Unspoken, it is others that hold sway............ We travelled back to places dear to me And wended ways on quiet paths together Nestled close beside the water's edge --- Then danced � a long delay`ed dance of peace Yet with all these Of all experiences within Unsought, it is others that still hold sway............. Aeons ago, a withdrawn foolish child Left written words, unsigned & unsaid Wishing Goddess dreamings to convey Awed, amazed, awkward and afraid, Yet wanting that ---- instilling fear instead. So be it ------ but children DO grow up someday. Wooded wanders we have shared together Indulged in laughter and a teenage ploy Leaving carvings in the trees midst heather............. Leaving YOU engraven in my joy. Yet, no matter what Of all these happy wondrous dreams of �us� Unceasingly, it's others that hold sway............. My mind holds firm to what we've shared so far And savors each and every vision Recalling touches, looks, caresses Remembered days, and nights of bliss.......... Yet it's not the ones experienced that linger....... Memories that we've not yet created Exist, for us to make and treasure. Can you see them too? Ones not yet born--- Held in abeyance for some future time? Kindred to what's gone before but Fated to be ............................... ?
