Poetry I wrote about men & relationships in 1986

REFLECTIONS OF THE HEART written 3/14/1986

I see you as a great prince in the reflection of a puddle
My thoughts, though; have changed since the stir craziness in my heart is somewhat muddled
The moods and tones change for the worst part
All I can feel is the motion of drifting
And the love you feel lifting
It twas not a prince, but a mere reflection of my hearts desire
The thought of that prince fills my heart with fire

DEDICATED TO THE REAL ONE written 3/15/1986
Relationships of love are filled with confusion
The fantasies and good times end up being just an illusion
I do not know what to do about the way I feel about you
My love for him is no comparison to the love we have that is somewhat dim
Bare with me please
We will be together soon and our minds will be at ease


I wrote this my senior year in High School and it took me a few minutes to remember what I was going through at the time.  But it hit me...I fell for a guy while dating someone else, eventually broke up with him so I could be with the "Real One"...I ended things with him that summer so I could be free for my Senior summer before I left for Fort Lauderdale!  I broke his heart! :(  But still have love for him today!
