sad_empty

Loving memories of yesteryear brought me back to this tranquil, wilderness place.
  Sadness numbs me as I leave the green canopied forest and enter this familiar shady clearing. Now I'm standing on the shore feeling totally alone, pure emptiness chills me slowly to the bone!

Since my last visit has more than a decade slipped by. A yearning for old time's sake has made me return to this small, but magical lake.
    The sands of time haven't touched this blissful place, only your permanent absence makes it one sad and empty space! Sunbeams project through the leafy branches, creating dazzling, pulsating, white hot ripples.
For one second I notice you waving to me from the far shore. One quick blink, sadness follows as the image it exists no more!

Right here away from everyday life we penned and exchanged our dear, meaning love notes. The gurgle and spraying sounds of a romantic, flowing waterfall how they filled the sultry air!
   We closely held each other like lovers never meant to be parted.
How you loved me to stroke and gently caress your long, silky auburn hair.
Oh that enchanting, sunny afternoon when we both refused to let time pass by. A beautiful summer dream specially created just for you and I.


	One Sad and Empty Space		Stephen J Bolton

	Loving memories of yesteryear brought me back to this tranquil, wilderness place. Sadness numbs me as I leave the green canopied forest and enter this familiar shady clearing. Now I'm standing on the shore feeling totally alone, pure emptiness chills me slowly to the bone! Since my last visit has more than a decade slipped by. A yearning for old time's sake has made me return to this small, but magical lake. The sands of time haven't touched this blissful place, only your permanent absence makes it one sad and empty space! Sunbeams project through the leafy branches, creating dazzling, pulsating, white hot ripples. For one second I notice you waving to me from the far shore. One quick blink, sadness follows as the image it exists no more! Right here away from everyday life we penned and exchanged our dear, meaning love notes. The gurgle and spraying sounds of a romantic, flowing waterfall how they filled the sultry air! We closely held each other like lovers never meant to be parted. How you loved me to stroke and gently caress your long, silky auburn hair. Oh that enchanting, sunny afternoon when we both refused to let time pass by. A beautiful summer dream specially created just for you and I.		Today's another anniversary of that late summer calendar date, when we swore our found love would forever last and never turn to hate! Summer passed by, our enchanting year grew old and during the next we parted as differences turned our love so cold. Together we'd once thanked fate for the bonding of English and foreign blood. Sadly just a while later proved the bonding and hopes to be a pure mistake! My fantasy today is to see an unfaded image of you sitting here, waiting for me to rejoin you as before. I'd love to see you seductively smile and say," Do you desire to venture into the forest to play games? Our games"! My sweetheart you still recall my name! In reality though, you haven't remembered our late summer calendar date. Sadly you've clearly forgone the bewitching hour! Tonight I won't be meeting you for an enchanting, mind blowing evening and seeing you dressed for me in your sexy attire of summer white. Nor will I admire your elegant tresses; nicely done in a romantic, ribbon finished, French braid! The old wounds have been reopened, whilst revisiting this sacred place. The hard truth is an absent party has turned this beauty spot into one sad and empty space!
