What a grand and glorious day today was!! Has anyone seen a Robin yet? I had a post in mind for today, and while I was looking something up, I grabbed a book that I have owned for a long time. Hmmmmmmm
You know how certain sensory stimuli triggers certain memories? Well thats what happened to me today. Stuck in the middle of Roget's Thesaurus was an envelope. Inside the envelope was a picture of my old girlfriend. A picture and a poem... We went together for 4 years. She was the first love of my life. Her father was a Doctor, but a nice enough guy. Her Mom didn't like me much, but kept it to herself. But they had MY whole life planned out for me and I bolted...
In the long run it was probably best...for her! But I can't change time, and my two children are priceless to me so I'll never look back. But we had something special, and I set her free...
I used to be well read. I used to write a bit. But over the years I got real lazy thanks to Cable.
Reading this depressing little poem that I wrote years ago, drifted me back to a very turbulant era in America. And my life then.....Hey......I was young, cut me some slack...
I long for her comfort
Her beautiful face
Her loving arms
Her warm embrace
When passion owned us
We greeted the Dawn
Then Mindless Ecstacy
Was suddenly gone
Insatiable hunger
Unspeakable Pain
Incurable Loneliness
The recurring refrain
Floating aimlessly
In an endless sea
Throbbing Emptiness
Where my Heart used to be.
I still miss her..............G
aww hon......those memories they do have a way of reaching out and grabbing you by the throat don't they? i hope she remembers you fondly and when memories of you cross her mind they make her smile.
ReplyDeletehugs
She probably hates my guts. I heard she married her old boyfrind.
ReplyDeleteBut thank you Michelle.
You make me smile.....G
The younger you wrote some beautifully heartfelt words, reaching clear through time to take you back, but reaching across the waves in this era too. We all have one or two of those what-could-have-beens. Right or wrong, and since it helps calm I would have to say right, nice is the thought that things always work out for the best, as they should. Second Lime's thoughts, hope she looks back upon your time together with fondness and smiles.
ReplyDeleteActually I kind of like it. Sometimes it is fun to remember days gone by even if they may not be the most pleasant at times. I think you make a great word smith Galen.
ReplyDeleteI remember a letter I wrote way back in the 10th grade. My one mistake, I mailed it. You know, she still is not married... :)
Autumn, you are ever so sweet. Thank you for your thoughts, I always love your soothing words.
ReplyDeleteYou are one beautiful Brit!! xo Galen
Uh oh Bryan, how do you know this, and what does she look like?
High School reunion and she was our prom queen... but I liked her for much more than that. Of course being in Colorado does put a kink in things.
ReplyDeleteWow g-man that is a beautiful poem, very well written.
ReplyDeleteYou are not only funny but a great writer as well.
Thanks for sharing this.
tc
My heart just broke for the kid that wrote that poem. I'm a sucker for poetry. You are a talented hottie!
ReplyDeleteAre you saying you salivated when you thought of her?
ReplyDeleteNow I can feel the sentimental part of G-man and didn't know you can be romantic.
ReplyDeleteVery well written.
Sometime, just keep the sweet memory with us as it is, this is what we call - forever.
I think you should reminisce, and take her out for a coffee. She will always have on piece of your heart.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you felt you couldn't keep up with the familys expectations. And when you marry the girl, you marry the family.
Don't forget to bring your joint!
btw, i'm really glad you shared this....another side of the wonderful g-man :)
ReplyDeletethat was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, the pain of losing our first love. I still feel a pang and tug of the old heart strings every now and then when I take a walk down memory lane.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem you wrote and yes, you have your two children and they have YOU!!
xoxo
often the memories are much sweeter than what it would be like to be with that person.

ReplyDeleteHi Gabby
Jenn....xxx
hello G..this is a nice poem..isnt it strange how the experiences of life that have been left incomplete come to haunt you..Finish us, complete us, they seem to be screaming...
ReplyDeleteOnce completed an e3xperience disappear ouy of your life forever.
I wrote a poem too for my boyfriend
Let me live for a moment
Inside the coffin
of your unshed tear drop
& soak myself in your rainbowed pain
A brief elastic moment
Stretching
As if to preserve a parting
Then we shall fall
your tear & I
Into the naked sea of pain
we shall not be a pearl
no
Your tear & I
But a real Live drop
that shall mingle with the sea
to form a Union.
I can feel your poem too Mona, You are talented also, on top of being sweet and beautiful...G
ReplyDeleteMy peom went like this...
