I bounced it your way....care to take the time to bounce it back? Anyone? Within these dark and hallowed halls I find no peace of mind Lonely dark abyss, a wasteland Of thoughts and dreams Yesterday's scattered in the midst Like fading memories "Don't wish upon a star...Reach for one!!" |

Still off in the distance ... I hear you whisper out my name and thou you may be gone from my side your memory and touch will ever remain No amount of time can change this no winds of change shall blow forever you will reside in my heart forever is my future ... and its a long way to go [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 12-06-2000).] |

In time maybe I'll grow stronger But I am never really sure When you told me goodbye that day My heart crashed to the floor And for now I feel trapped inside Tha dark abyss of my mind Ever wanting to hold you Hoping I'll forget in time (next) |

i can feel you in the shadows why do you taunt me so i hear your voice whispering unlock my heart.. let me go dont let me remain a prisoner behind these bars of heartbreak dont keep me in these chains in this dungeon which i partake ~Victoria~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

And when this darkness I can no longer take, when shadows breathe fire into my tortured mind; I think of you, of how it's been and how your touch could light my fire, and tho' the pain is intense It reminds me of why I came. With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |

Searching for sanctuary in the depth of love's warm waters ... I let the illusion take me down. First baptized by your beauty, now cold waves of reality cover me and I have begun to drown. I'm too weak to swim back to safe harbors ... I'm just too tired to fight the tide. Caught in the current of this pain, again destined to drown in these tears I cant keep inside. I surrender to the losses ... I've been here so many times before. Adrift on this ocean of loneliness ... praying for rescue ... but your no where to be found on shore. ************ this is a depressing game of ping-pong Jeff-gator ... but hey ... sometimes it feels this way ... and ya gotta go with the flow PING......

I taste the salt of tears And wonder why I let this happen again Will it ever be enough Enough that I will one day just give up I have longed to hold you For what feels like forever now And the memory of your face Slips farther and farther from my mind I really don't want to forget The way you looked at me that night Though in a way I wish That we had never met in the first place ******************************** Yea....depressed is my life lately it seems...but I know it will get better soon  Thank you all for playing this game of ping pong with me |

If love is meant to happen love will find a way like lips of moonlight whispering upon the bay if our love is meant to be you will come back to me like the blooming of a rose in the light of dawn like blushing of the sunset like the birth of a fawn if it is meant to happen eyes of fate will see and magically you will come back to me ~Victoria~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

from depth, depression under Sun's constant presence lifted with a SIGH! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

and through a crystal curtain beaded tears of endless nights and pain refrained upon a string knotted by the wonder why a gentle parting by my hand to gaze upon an empty room-- I have no fear, for I'm not here... always, I reside with you. |

his scent comes in on humid breeze. from this ache (again) tonight- I'll find no ease. any trace of him ... brings on this slow burn. a moth to his flame, (I guess I'll never learn) bayou storms rise up ... sultry rain comes in slow. I can still hear his voice, in whispers, low. taste his lips, feel his gentle touch ... (what I lack) is knowing how to (again) let go ... of something so fine and needed so much. |

What is a ping-pong poem, Jeffrey!! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |
