A Question Left Unasked What would happen if I’d the courage to ask To take a knife and cut those words, hanging tensely above Left breathless, barely able to talk Do you think we could really just laugh it off Be left to cast a casual glance and carry on in rhyme That question left unasked To let apprehension claim the consciousness Set souls aflame with forbidden desire As passion envelops the moment Naught else to do but grab the carnality of a timeless instant To embrace our essence take hold, and run fallaciously Beyond our abandon We are all just prisoners here of our own device ~ Hotel California, The Eagles |

Eagle A question you answer with a wonderful sense of words "Naught else to do but grab the carnality of a timeless instant To embrace our essence take hold, and run fallaciously Beyond our abandon" Loved it! |

To let apprehension claim the consciousness Set souls aflame with forbidden desire As passion envelops the moment I especially enjoyed those lines. To hold our thoughts inside will only cloud our vision and fester in our mind. That's my motto anyway~ Say what you mean and mean what you say. |

Dee ~ That is true I guess, but… as always my friend, I thank you, take care! Kethry ~ thank you, appreciate your comments. Martie ~ Thanks for stoping by, good to know you enjoyed. Nancy ~ as is so often the case we have the answers within us. I guess the trick is knowing that is so, and in having the courage to take that first step, thanks. BluesSerenade ~ I try to! Noah ~ always a pleasure to have you stop by. Janet ~ Fate and destiny always seem to involve flame and intense feelings don’t they? I’m glad you liked this one, take care! P.S. I guess I should be careful running fallaciously through the forums, I don’t want to start a fad or something.. hmmm … could be fun though! Sherry ~ yeah ya do don’t you, I think perhaps I snooze too much.. We are all just prisoners here of our own device ~ Hotel California, The Eagles |
