You, born to deceive me with never a lie leaving your lips; there in port is tied your ship of fools ~ how many ride your painted tide that never comes in? You speak and nothing rolls off your tongue… the waves of your oceans all undone Flat, glass-like slickness truth be a silent sickness and you suffer Like a water-globe painted black, motion on the inside, outside remains intact ~ No spillage, no leaks, emotion never creeps into your sails You glide 'round tempests the current always the same…the wind calls not my name and so I bid you Bon Voyage on your ship of dreams… a sad mirage caroline 1999 all rights reserved ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

The walls we build around our hearts...just an illusion. "Truth be a silent sickness." I have known people like that, who seem to view lying as a way of life, honesty anathema. Nicely done here, painting a bittersweet collection of feelings. |

Thank you everyone for your kindness I do want to clarify that he never lied to me...deceit comes in other forms, sometimes. I needed answers and got silence instead. As we all know, sometimes silence is much louder than words.------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |
