****************************************************
With eyes of innocence and lips of joy,
the leap to love was as childhood dreams.
Smiles came and went freely through new days,
sharing our voice, giggles blew in soft wind .
Blanketed in cozy warmth, we shared kisses
and hugged under the shade of tall Oak trees.
Memories of those days gone by linger,
tasted in the salt of my silent tears.
Waking one morning, your presence stolen,
life forced this soul down a long, darkened path.
Deceit and anger filled the cup I held,
offering my tongue bitterness and grief.
Often, I dream of the disappearance,
stretching my vision down long corridors.
You found refuge in your own solitude,
taking my heart's soul as you walked away.

I love your work and the way you put your heart and soul into them I am sorry for what you went through but I think deep down in your self you know where your heart and soul really are. Anyhow your work is wonderful so inspiring I really enjoyed it.

We sometimes find those who steal our hearts and never return them, no matter if they remain with us or not. Hard to live like this, but we can only hope for better times, when we will learn to love anew and leave the past behind.

Often love hurts. Soul searching is never easy. I still havn't found mine either. Maybe dear sister we both needs two maps. Wow, impressive write! They always seem to find their way quicker than us. Sucks!
