Barely Living

Believing in you, I Aimlessly fell Ridiculously in love, my Eager thoughts chase after you, you Left me alone in my sorrow while I clung to Your memories good and bad Losing you, my love Is like a million deaths of those crying, my Voice of reason escapes flowing forever Into a sea of tears where there is No more sunshine of words for me to Glean the passion we once shared

The last two lines of this write are very powerful and "wrap up" the whole poem back up to the title. This is awesome, Barbara and a very well-deserved selection to be a feature this week at the Soup! Congratulations!

congradulations are well deserved in the beautifull piece of art. the images are original even though there seem to be so few left, you conjured them from somewhere. great work. John H. Loving III
