I had a love, but she left me behind. I thought I was her one and only, isn't life so unkind. I try not to think of pleasure, I try not to think of pain. I wish I had my baby back to love me all over again. You tell me, what the hell is pleasure? You tell me, what is pain? When I find myself crying, and walking in the rain. Oh! Lord I can't stand the pain! Please let me love again. I wrote this for Prince as he has always been a inspiration to me when it came to writing my intimate poems. Yet the subject of this poem was a young man I met in Germany, who was in the military. He was there for RR. We use to write poetry together. He was sent to Viet Nam, and was there for only 3 days before he was killed. He was my soulmate, that was in 70. It took me until 82 to really love anyone else. So my poem is about a lost love.

Re: NPNY: Poetry - I'm Being Published
I'm sorry to say that poetry.com is infamous for being a money leeching poetry scam. http://windpub.com/literary.scams/ilp.htm search around the net and you'll find other sites like this as well. I was published through this so-called group and even footed the $60 charge for one copy of the book my poem was featured in. Be careful...

You're welcome Johnda, and keep up the writing, I'm not sure about how reputable the site is as Ben describes it but when one door closes, another one opens. Moderator: www.purpleprose.com is a much better site :-D -Derek -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben J.
