you can thrill them with style you can brush up their pride you can catch their attention with sweet cautious lies you can always conceal your desires from deeds and glib is your answer for the love Jones you feed. you can play out their love let them hold you and squeeze you you can bend all the rules and most can't defeat you and you'll preach out your words like gospel and creed cause you bring hearts to trust in the dreams you concieve. you can fill them with promise you can capture their freedom then purposely leave them and trash up their feelings you can sell'em dead flowers with a hard liquored catch and you don't blame yourself while you steal their respect. and you'll speak out your mind when you know you'll be cruel and you'll quote from your street sense on triads of fools and you can't be selective because time is your thief but you'll always be alone to deal with your grief.

  BRAVO!!! Oh my gosh, this is such a wonderful debut, sweet friend, yes, whenever we are the ones who feel guilty and selfish there is no one to blame but ourselves and we should learn to deal with the aftermath ourselves! This is excellent!!! Welcome to Passions, sweet Rebecca, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! (smiles) I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, we all love you so much! Ooohhhhhh...and please check your E-mail for a special greeting from all of us here at Passions for you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rebecca, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

you can always conceal your desires from deeds and glib is your answer for the love Jones you feed. ============================ and you'll preach out your words like gospel and creed cause you bring hearts to trust in the dreams you concieve. =============================== you can sell'em dead flowers with a hard liquored catch and you don't blame yourself while you steal their respect. and you'll speak out your mind when you know you'll be cruel and you'll quote from your street sense on triads of fools and you can't be selective because time is your thief but you'll always be alone to deal with your grief. ============================ Looks like youve got somebodys number, and knows their game!! This is a very very cool write!! Youve got some fantastic lines of witty word play and theme in this. I love the street savy lingo of your phrasing. And the impact of that last verse is poetry in motion. Welcome to Poetry Land Rebbecca... so nice to meet you, I see the talent for turning words in to rhyme runs in the family  Nice to have you here with us. Love your screen name I look forward to reading more of your work jm When your own emptiness is all thats getting through, |

A big hearty welcome. This is an amazing first post but knowing where some of your talent and wit comes from, that doesn't surprise me. Wonderfully portrayed are your words of wisdom carrying the message, that all things come full circle. I very much enjoyed the entire read and the flow was flawless to the end. Don't make us wait too long for your next one. |
