Riding Winds of Memory

by Italian Stallion   Oct 30, 2008


In the bitter cold dark
Riding winds of memory,
A soft tender touch
Lingers within.

No more candle light,
No more orange moons.
No one in the distance,
As my heart slowly dies.

I'd stop the world
If only I could
Just talk with you
One more time.

I've memorized your face,
I dream of where you are.
Wish this never happened,
The awful way that it did.

I'd stop the world
If only I could
Just talk with you
One more time.

    ^^I love these two verses the most. I think the second part is how everyone feels when they lose someone close to them. Not assuming that it's about that, or factual, but to me, it seems as though the narrator has just lost someone very very close to them. And no one should go through anything like that.^^
    Very well written, Joe. I love it. Great job.

    This is my favorite stanza Joe, I keep going back to read it and I like the vivid picture that I get in my mind. I think you did a fantastic job with this title, thanks so much for entering the contest, it was a pleasure to read, great job!
