I am strange and energetic I wonder, is my brother an alien? I hear tacos singing I see tapdancing lions I want to be bathed in love I am strange and energetic I pretend to work I feel oranges can fly at night I touch the minds of those around me I worry about society I cry when I say goodbye I am strange and energetic I understand that love conquers all I say dreams are the future I dream about who I really am I try to make a difference I hope that I will be remembered I am strange and energetic plus a little more, just for kicks... I am a mixture of what you could be I see the things you want to be I feel the pain you try to hide I know the darkness trapped inside I love the way you talk to me I love the you you're destined to be I may never know the shadows in your closet I may never stop the tears from your faucet I will love you with out hesitation I will love you till our final reservation I want nothing more than to be known I wish the world, my dreams to be shown I desire the beats to swirl till I die I pray that no tear will be shed the day I die I wish to go without preamble or wait I wish to stand before St Peter's Gate I hope to hear the Angels praise I rejoice there till the end of days "There were times in my life when I was going insane tryin to walk through the pain when I lost my grip and I hit the floor yeah I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door" - Aerosmith "Amazing" |

Wow, desperado, Great to meet you. What a great poem !! It was very well written. Both of them! I used to write. I am what I am and I see you as I see you, and you see me as you see me Yet, you see you, as you see you so you are what you are leaving me to being what I am. --) Never knew if it made a lick of sense. netswan |

You fascinate me! Intriguing words, with deep feeling. I like a mystery, and this is certainly an enchanting love poem. If you are strange, then so am I. You may have earned my highest compliment of being a bit eccentric, perhaps. That is what I am proud to be - a bit eccentric. My husband and I could both fit that description. Who would want to be just like anyone else? But your heart is full of love and care, and that poem would be a gift to anyone. I especially enjoyed the lines: "I may never know the shadows in your closet I may never stop the tears from your faucet" - man, oh man, you said a mouthful there! |

LOL... thanks for meeting this challenge with the direct and succinct verbiage that only desperado could display...  |

hehe. I salute any man who can hear tacos singing. Two of the greatest things we can own are a sense of humor and a sharp wit...you have both, in spades....good to see you, des. |

whtdove - it certainly is good to be back, but I'm going to have to go again here shortly for a while (until I can get everything set up in korea, however long that might take me. hehe) but I do plan on getting me a good computer asap. hehe prolly end up getting a laptop that will enable me to play dvd's and such. that way I won't have to buy a tv and a vcr to watch something. I'll prolly take a cd player with me though. got a nice little boombox as it is... hehehe thanks once again. |
