Porcelain Smile Cold grey tiles hold fast on stained porcelain smile As vile breath expels through fractured consciousness Laid prone, to wonder before demonic spectre’s gaze Of life long lost, merely to lust again at apparitions behest The searing chill loiters in the depths of obsession’s void As fetid ooze thrusts red through vessels cracked in time A sullied soul cries out across the chasm of friendships’ heart Thoughts lost in place, as flights of mind echo in chime Moments misplaced as desire fails to hold destiny’s embrace Essence trembles as bodies’ emulse in torrents of foaming dance The relieving blackness dawns across the miasma of a broken mind While the body holds fast, lost within gravitational trance Blankets of tears barely thread the pain of stuttered movements As acceptance dawns, to reign throughout reminiscence’s clouded view Gradually, disjointed recollections underpin the mind numbing veracity of life Once more incarcerated by subsistence, bound to face each day anew We are all just prisoners here of our own device ~ Hotel California, The Eagles |

It seems to this Lady that your night was a bit excessive and was in need of a quilting of words to comfort you warm. Hoping today brings a gift to thee... of more than porcelain smiles. Lady Ollyne "O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: |

 (big hugggssssss) This is absolutely beautifully heartfelt, sweet friend, despite all the tears that we may endure, out of the darkness will always come the light at the end of a tunnel and His warm love will guide us like a silver lining, His porcelain smile always! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eddie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Eddie darling boy this is simply outstanding writing, you have written this incredibly well I don’t know how you do it always. Again flawless and perfectly presented. What can I say but this is exceptional. YOU always write brilliantly and today is no exception. Such depth such power in these words, I’m struck dumb in admiration. I knew you were a very good writer, I wasn’t sure just how good till I read this. It is outstanding. Well done darling boy very very well done  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 [This message has been edited by Marsha (04-29-2002 08:59 PM).] |
