Memory Box

She sat on the floor
Sifting through the remnants of her past
Some years so full they overflowed with love
Others so empty that she still felt their chill

She stumbled across wedding photos
Her own
Buried in a box of memories
With tear filled eyes her fingers searched
For her favorite
The one taken at sunset
When he still looked at her that way
What a couple they had once been
So young and filled with promise
But that was yesterday
Now
Today
She wondered
Where had they gone wrong
When did they stray from the path
Lost
Was the raging inferno
That burned in her soul
For that man
Now her soul was cold
Her heart was ash
Her mind
Was filled with the bitter taste
Of sun filled days
Of tequila nights
Of a wedding day
Of a gold ring inscribed "forever"

Now that ring
Was at the bottom of the Pacific
Somewhere off
Of the Balboa Pier
At the spot
He embraced
The other woman
Kissed her
With the passion that once was hers

Before the ring even hit the water
She was on the coast highway
Peddle to the floor
Wind drying her tears
While Henley sang all about Wasted Time.

Why gold is a bad investment MarketWatch. Except gold is a bad investment. Gold?s feverish run has made a lot of people a lot of money. The hidden traps in new 2012 tax forms. Utterly reliable it was acceptable virtually anywhere in the world and was as familiar in the jungles of the Indian sub-continent as in the streets of the City of London. That is why some people do not like to do transaction with these shops but people prefer doing transaction with them because of its reliability. These generally are shares in particular real estate interests. Research is the groundwork on which stable portfolios are built, and it is this due diligence that will reveal the best new companies, the ones most likely to go on to greater success and earn considerably larger rewards for you. Invest Gold in Malaysia through Public Bank. Last month in April, Public Bank announced a Gold Investment Account that allows you to purchase. And accrue cost to predict gold price in 2012. Alot of thing.
