We'Ll Always Have San Andreas

-rearranging the stars- How could we agree to separation? If you were destined to be my soulmate, Why would we allow the stars to change our fate? They've written in a fresh verse Sewing in a new song, soon to be sung The Stars are not to blame The fault lies deep within our hearts Like earthquakes wondering through the years separating silicone valley of tears. Sweeping sweet dreams far away What has become of my day? Today the sun sets holding on to old hope Tears fall down a sudden slope Now my dreams are drowning down another road Tonight I sit under the aspen cold Alone, no longer in search of gold Naming nights you whispered words of love to my soul Your love no longer speaks Without warning, the Midas touch slowly fades In my chest - I find fault The sound of heartache echoes every day Rejuvenating every crack from display In plain sight, I search for thee The sun -The moon -The madness -The Salton Sea My heart no longer speaks Everything I dream of sinks like the night Stuck in quicksand -- the aftermath Healing scars the aftershock left behind Finding ways to fill the gloom Alas bridal curtains sit silently in my room Setting boundaries between Earth's poetic plates Like an earthquake passing through my heart You left like the moon, moving mountains apart IS THERE SOMETHING YOU forgot TO TELL Me, dear Suddenly, San Andreas Fault looks tragic from here Until then I will hold my breath In hopes, our Plates will meet again By: PD 6/29/15

A very gorgeous, though tragic love story, PD. Hats off to you. You are one mighty fine poetess. Such great creative writing skills. Just perusing your poems, I'm learning the diff poetic styles very quickly. Couldn't ask for a better mentor. The fans have spoken: you're just our average savant. Ha ha ha. But a beautiful one at that. Keep the love and knowledge flowing, my dear. Much love and respect to you.

Hi Linda, once more the depths of your emotions shine through in this excellent write. The words build up such a canvas before us they enter our hearts to stir our emotions. You paint such brilliant images as your words seem to flow forth with such ease. As always, you lay down your work in your own inimitable style. This has to be a seven and into my faves Linda....Vlad.
