Foreign Language

how could
I ever
tell you
for words
could never
match
my feelings
they do not
express
true emotions
inflection
could not even
come close
for how
do you
describe
heart beat
or breath
or
the loss
of it


"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

Dear Helen, I wish I could convey as much feeling into my, loooong poems, as you do in yours.

This one hit me like a 9 tons of hammers!
Someone help, get these hammers off me!!!

Thats okay, I just want to lay here a while anyway.

Helen - your words are so touching, and express what you're feeling inside... I like your writings...

Tis true, how does one put that into words but then you made me think about the difficulty and how we're all trying to, that's what's so good.
