The Halfway Glass

Halfway Closing a Chapter Here's to all the beauties yet lived and had My rain in the drought and my sun in the rain Saying goodbye to a past so amazingly manifested, 'Goodbye to a life beautifully captured Moments hardly erased and, A nolstagic record of all things delight I heard my heart break from my back being turned against. A smile seems...

They were sweethearts from childhood Someday wed was understood Clashing goals drove them apart Now, there’s no path to their hearts Lovely in her wedding dress At the altar, vows professed Bound ever to another What might have been was over Halfway the path to a heart Another must share that mark Where true love’s most skillful art Molds “Until death do us part” At halfway mark...

Premium Member GNRT DAY 25 HALFWAY IN DULUTH
Since leaving Banff we’ve driven 1200 miles (as a nod to Deborah’s dad we drive only during the day!) and we’ve stopped for the night in 6 different spots along the way. So after driving 260 miles today…we were happy…that’s the truth! to be spending the next two nights in a hotel in Duluth. Today, just like the other...

We're halfway between the Earth and the Moon Riding the sky in a hot air balloon All through the day and well into the night Me and my gal on a romantic flight Floating aloft on an Easterly breeze A vantage point over deep salty seas The two of us engulfed in such pleasure An experience beyond all measure On this voyage is...

Premium Member Stuck Halfway
Most dissolve or become shrines you visit in old age. Others linger, unresolved, and can sit there in memory for years until what is missing comes creeping back or starts the replay of a moment you paused long ago, now let to run its full length even if a lifetime late.

Halfway Apart
Feed our love, Let it blossom, Feed our love, Fan its embers. A garden of purple beauties is my delight, A radiant and clear sky is my desire, A night sheet embellished with dazzling lights is my longing. A fluttering of colourful wings is my joy. Nurturing my confidence is your warm smile, A softer life was our beginning, Chauffeuring my day...
