A Fool and Finality ( Posted For Michael Torres )

A Fool and Finality ( posted for Michael Torres )

I destroyed all your photographs today
All those memories
When you were so beautiful
All those secret pictures of you in skimpy clothes

I recall how you made my blood pound
And the sparkle in your eye
Was I place for me to drown
Forget myself
Loose the world
When there was only you

Those images went without tears
Fool I was to keep them
Cold and constricting became your beauty portrayed
For seven years I have wandered
In your memory
Letting go was so hard
I remember how much I loved you

The final echo I have lost
Burned away in coloured smoke
You where so exquisite then
And my heart a wave
Crashed on your skin
Forever now receding

And what of love
But memories
For a moment of boredom
You swapped me
And I clung a fool to the finality
The broken promises
We made in our surety 

Sad still I am
For the testimony
For the place I found in your beauty
But at least today
I will not be reminded
At least in perpetuity 
And at last
I am free

Colin Mitchell Williams November 24, 2008 at 9:58 AM Thank you Laurie, just wanted Micheal to know he is not alone....

Laurie Ginn November 22, 2008 at 2:42 PM What a beautiful poem you have written. The depth of feeling touched my heart. Not only because of the topic but because you wrote for Michael. I know Michael personally and have loved his poems. He is a man of honor and is very respectful to all. A wonderful christian man who tries to treat all how he wants to be treated. Yours In Christ, Laurie

Michael Torres November 22, 2008 at 11:39 AM As she use to say to me. Go with God and the Angels. The healing can start and yes Colin I'm free. You are a gifted writer and on a higher level then myself. Like with other poet's I have to get my dictionary out when you write. I just have a high school education. I will take some courses in poetry and if they ever let me back in I will try to exemplify what i have learned form you John Rhinemn, Brian Strand, and gifted writers like Rhoda, Christy Moses, and Sharon Wiemer thankyou MichaelTorres

Michael Torres November 22, 2008 at 11:32 AM Have brought all this drama to this wonderful forum of great people with such intelligence and creativity. Thank you for your support and kindness and know Colin that this kiindness of support in your own way is a testament to you. You have courage and you are not lead by the mases, you lead by your own drum. I can't say enough of your gratitude. In the end I know she loves me and cares you might think it is a foolish thought and my wishful thinking and that's ok. In my heart I know this.

Michael Torres November 22, 2008 at 11:25 AM conquers all. Each esperience we have makes us more caring and better as individuals. I must reach out and forgive those that have hurt me and I have hurt. There has to be healing and closer. I have not beitterness for this woman but compassion and forgiveness. this man is a man after God's heart and I know he is a God fearing man. As of right now I have respect for both of them and some things in life arent what they appear. I have to be man enough to ralize this. I am deeply sorry that I

Michael Torres November 22, 2008 at 11:18 AM I have developed as a human being from the city world that I struggled with in my life. I am renewed as a person through Christ and this woman who I resoedt was instrumental in that growth. Good things came out of this. I apologize to all those that were coaught up in this hornets nest I love both of them I know Colin in my heart thathe is a caring and giving person and I know she is to. Sometimes things appear to be a certain way and we believe the worst. It happened to me I'm human. Love

Michael Torres November 22, 2008 at 11:14 AM I wanted to post a comment on his poem but the system doesnt let me. I wnated to tell him that if I wronged him because someone reached out to him it wasnt his fault for caring for that person. It wasnt his fault he was just caring. I lashed out at him for getting envoled and it wasnt his fault. He is someone who has a good heart and loves his children and wife. I respect him as a man and it cause me great pain to know that I have hurt him. That is the truth Im still recovering from my loss.

Michael Torres November 22, 2008 at 11:10 AM Colin You are a loyal friend to the bitter end. My sincerest respect to you and your random act of kindness shown here. You have courage to stand alone in prupose against the world. A quality few have in this world. It has been a very difficult situation causing me great depression they fixed it where I can't get to my poems but that's all right I have forving everyone who has hurt me. I pray that they have forgiven me. I feel nauseated to hurt any of my Christian and non christian brothers.
