I wondered this hour
if we would ever escape eachother
for good

For
every time
that feels like the last
is never

You did not tame me easily
punished you
for years
over mis spent youth
and mis placed decency

I wonder if your theory
is the only truth you have

Our paths
will carry on crossing
until we become one


Though
I won't waste these years
believing in such thinly spread
fairytale

You are the locked gate
upon coming home
the cold concrete upon tired thigh
waiting for the someone
the anyone with key and warmth

I remember
thinking I knew

I will not plead with fate to bring you back to me
nor I back to you

Still this hour
I wonder if we will ever escape eachother

for better
or worse.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Gemma, this is so deeply heartfelt, sweet friend, to have the back gate slammed on us and keeping us locked up in wrong man's land is truly a humiliating situation! (sad sigh) May you leap over the fence and pole vault to freedom, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Gemma, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Jeez, you're taking me breath away.

QJQ ~ Thankyou sir, for always stopping by.

Lizzeeeee ~ The Shivers! Well, your writes of late have me shaking, not shivering. I love your dark.

Susan ~ Oh god I know, I'm like that, I think it's when you know you can't freely give all the love you want to, you hold back, then think, no I LOVE him!, then you think, no hold back, because they dont love you to that level.
Thanks for always understanding gal.

Ethel ~ I like that part too, as It was actually a real experience, as well as the way he made me feel.
Love you E.M, youre the best!

Meg ~ I could, and do feel the same of your writes. You wow me. thanks lady.

Noah ~ A reply from you always makes me smile, youre full of such life and love, so thankyou my friend.

Maree ~ Thankyou VERY much. like your signature!

Dixie ~ I know you know, thankyou for always understanding, but i'm sorry that you do.

Thanks for your words, my rambling insecure thoughts don't deserve such lovely responses.

I believe you already have, become one...that is...something that cannot be erased, unless, someone has caused another too much pain, abuse, or has been controlling and dishonest.  But, the love was felt, none-the-less, and that cannot be stained or forgotten...ever.  And so, within the intimacy of life  you have gained from the great love you felt for this person, in both the good and the not so good.  Hugs and best wishes sent your way always.  Love to read you.  Your friend Lee J.
