Message In A Bottle

cinderella · 05-31-2010, 08:49 AM

Quill dipped in red ink - the color of love...

My dearest, to say that you have always lived in my heart all these decades is redundant. You know I will always love you. And even if I never see you again, you are always with me. My life has been an empty shell - always seeking to find the passion and love we shared, but to no avail - it only really happens once.

I hope with all my heart that you are happy in your life, even if it is without me. And if you no longer feel the same for me, I console myself with the thought that it is only one empty heart. That at least one of us has found happiness. And perhaps that means that one of us did not love as well. No matter. I had love at least once in my life - some never do. So, in that respect I am grateful to you, my eternal beloved.

I roll up the parchment, tie a red satin ribbon around it, and place it in the translucent green bottle. I place it on the foamy crest, and point it southward...to Florida. Please unfold this message with care, for it holds my heart.

I wrote this for you in 2004, but you've never seen it. Here, again, I set another bottle adrift. This time I hope it finds you, and moves your heart...

The Questioning Heart

Tell me my love, what shall I do
To stop my heart from loving you?
What can I do with this love of mine,
I try to kill it, but it just won't die.

It sleeps and dreams in the quiet dark
Hiding in shadows an eternal spark
That now and then erupts in flames
Feeding a fire I cannot contain.

The flames consume and burn my soul
'Til there's nothing left of me at all.
In plumes of smoke my soul departs
Leaving in ashes my shattered heart.

A heart that sought with desperation
To find in you some consolation
With kisses lost so long ago,
With secrets only we would know.

But lost forever now it seems
Our vows of love and whispered dreams.
Tell me my love, what shall I do
To stop my heart from loving you?

What a wonderful thread. I will have to think of what to say.

Thanks Wolfy!
