unfulfilled love - unrequited love - love relinquished - life unlived...

we all are gypsies of a sort wandering traveling through this life other lives space and time here there and yon on roads less traveled - this is a written and visual journal of my own travels - imagined and/or real - come along with me - we'll dance among the stars under the sun and over the moon - we'll share our stories of love around the campfire - come along -

poetry from the heart...


POETRY FROM THE HEART - my own words dedicated to all the words left unspoken, the acts left undone - the love unlived unfulfilled -

i dance with you...only in dreams...

tweet me, but tweet me gently, please!

i ain't nev'a been loved...

i been a lotta thangs
in my life
been somebody’s child
somebody’s wife
taught sunde school
an’ carried a knife
lived in good
and lived in strife
but one thang
i ain’t nev'a been is
loved

had sweet nothin’s
whispered in my ear
even had somebody
call me dear
stayed with one
for more’n a year
and once or twice
i shed a tear
but i ain’t nev'a been
loved
 oh yeah, i been hugged on
and kissed on
an’ i been loved on
but i ain’t
nev'a
been
loved

not
true blue
through and through
 
not till now
not till
you
.
