Fire the gun
into the night air,
the breeze is cold,
the race has begun.

I bring you closer,
so you can feel my warmth.
I catch a whiff of your hair,
as I rub the language of your skin.

We are two frogs,
in the chaos of existence.
Pull me closer,
from across the distance.

My dreams of reality
are nothing but contradictions.
I grasp them as I enjoy,
and then I wake.
For I know
my life will be whole,
though my heart not so.

Rib'it.

I guess this is the part where I smile innocently.

Yes, Frogs, Nia... they have meaning to only the one who wrote this and the one this was written for.

Sincerely,
Titus

ti, i was talking with this frog the other day.  and he politely let me know that ribbit is preffered by frogs to be spelled with two b's.



don't even ask me what that meant, because i'm not quite so sure.

nice work m'man.

nice work.

ROFL @ Jen!

Ti~
I REALLY enjoyed reading this.
I have to admit that I was completely caught
off-guard by the twist in the middle.
You made quite a 'leap' of faith, using frogs
in this piece, but it worked, and the poem didn't 'croak'. (couldn't resist..lol)
Seriously, though, I think you did an amazing
job on this, and I really like it lots.
Well done!
