SHE"S ALWAYS THERE

As I fall into my reflection

Of my life past.

A woman I loved....

Lives in my head now,

That lasts and lasts.

She shimmers, and ripples my thoughts

A tide in and out, she flows

rolling on my mind's sandy shores

My thoughts carry as the wind blows.

She comes as potted colour

An annual that never lasts

but she remains

In my library of memories

As she stands out , smiles and laughs.

She ripples my thoughts is a very good expression of the feelings of my own ghost encounters, that strange, eerie feeling of two words crossing. A tide in and out is a beautiful expression, again two worlds, yesterday and today. Wistful and delicate. Romantic. Left me with a smile.

Thank you Vishuddha for your thoughts, much appreciated and so glad at the end you smiled

Hi Andrew. Memories are often better than the reality and somehow you managed to convey this in such an abstract way. This is great and I thought the spasmodic rhyme fitted so well with the theme. One suggestion . . . a tide in and out, she flows . . . makes the reading smoother, alf

Thanks alf I can always count on you.:)
