Between You and Me

When you are here
All hopes, dreams and ambitions disappear;
Drowned in your eyes when I hold your hand,
Unremembered now that I understand.
For you perplex my mind with memories
Of so many forgotten ecstasies;
Which were, are not and perhaps will never be
When we hold this moment between you and me

Happiness well remembered, and pondered and then forgotten.'... 'tis better to have loved and lost' '...don't worry, be happy! I am the king of cliche today! :)

Between the realms of infinity. Lies all the hearts possibilities. Where romantic love can make you whole. And leave you empty down to your soul. But I won't leave you high and dry. For kindness is how we can fly. Together sharing back and forth. We'll follow loves compass's true north.

Hmmmm...makes me wonder, makes me dream. What is it dear lady you really mean? (I love this one - I really do:) Elizabeth, you have a way of capturing the essence of a thought, feeling or memory with minimal fluff. Kinda like shooting a bow & arrow with a blindfold on! You're always right on target. And thanks for reading & commenting earlier. I can count on you like the sky is blue:) Terry

Elizabeth, this is beautifully written and I can relate to the feelings you describe. Sometimes we just have to break away from those who make us feel sad. It's not easy, but there sometimes are silver linings behind "dark clouds" like the man you describe. Love and blessings, Carolyn

the power of love, captured within your lines, and in his eyes, he fills your soul with so much love, expressed in this verse for the imagination to ponder.

You have painted great imagery here in a perplexing poem! I love the line, "which were, are not and perhaps will never be", profound and wonderfully written! Another awesome poem!!
