Falling

Tom Watson · Post by **Tom Watson** » Sun Dec 11, 2005 9:14 pm

Fading in memory's mist,
Retreating behind time's woods,
I searched my lips for the kiss;
For wanting to give more than I could...

Dew is drowned by falling rain;
Leaves rustling under falling pain...

The Sun is a visible white
Behind the haze of past years,
Where I reached for a hand, once held tight,
Finding a lonely pillow and pillowcase tears...

Birds silenced by falling rain
Cries echoed in falling pain...

My past gathers, tangled in grey brambles;
Vision confused by swaying grass mounds;
And your voice carries in indistinct mumbles;
Distorting your form with each fading sound...

I remain behind in the falling rain
My heart eternally soaked with falling pain...

I recall laughter, the warmth of you;
Scents still rustle through this space;
And lost chances leave nothing to do;
Quick corner glances fail to reveal your fading face...

So, here you will find me, walking in the falling rain;
Waiting for your return to catch my falling pain...

Wow, my heart felt this one. It's amazing how love can bring both joy and pain immeasurable. Sometimes I have to wonder if that saying "It is better to have love and lost then never loved at all" is true. I can still remember the pain of losing my very first love in adolescence after all these years.

Great write. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. - Deborah

Tom of course I walked with you through your memories and you captured my heart, so beautifully written and so sad also but well expressed from your dear precious heart.

Love your Sister Deb ((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))

Deborah,

Debbie, Friend and Angeleyes,
After all of this time to come across your kindness
Was a joy and embarassment that I failed to reply
With my gratitude for your gentleness, bringing a tear to my eye.

A time to remember...
A lost chance to forget...
From the time of joy in December,
My journey to April's loss is set...
