Lost In Love's Ancient Echoes

Lost In Love's Ancient Echoes I sat here just to write a poem today amidst the activity of my long life With true heart and purpose to say my past still cuts deep like a knife Lost dreams haunt my every daily task memories of those I once dearly loved Why and where, questions I need to ask mysteries held by those once beloved My coffee was as hot as her thrill she of raven hair and legs so long Dared not hold her against her will vanished back in the worldly throng Another filled with style and grace dance in singing hold me so tight Even I, could never match her pace lovefilled acrobat every sweet night All passed on as a hot blowing wind each had grace and unique charms Departed for thrills around next bend leaving these outstretched loving arms Sweet lost dreams eat away at my mind did my heart fail to hold their love Was my life destined to be so unkind with storm clouds always lurking above I sat here just to write a poem today amidst the activity of my long life With true heart and purpose to say my past still cuts deep like a knife! ****** *******, Note: This is an older poem, edited slightly(title change) and presented today.
