What happened here is so funny. Because I left out one little arrow in my centering symbols, the entire poem failed to post, so people only were seeing an empty box this morning!!!

With eyes so deep and dark, I could get lost soul-sinking into them; with a mouth tasting of berries, and with hands that held magic in their touch, he was the one that got away. . . if only I knew what would have happened had he stayed. For Silent One's Contest: The One That Got Away

The mystery of never knowing what could have been seems a little comforting than getting to know it. Nice write Andrea. Congratulations on your win! Much love :)
