Complicated Love Behind these Snafu bars of closure I weep tears of pipedreams Onto a floor without The proper plumbing to Withstand the flow. There is a lesson here, There is a humanity In the thunder thought Of hopeless loving Without the seat cushion To pad the fall from grace. So here it is, Heaven on the hapless shoulders Of a loveless murmurous man Swimming in the wrong direction Down a sea of affection Without any legs to propel. My girlfirend picked a nice day to throw in the towel, lol. "Give me a museum, and I'll fill it." |

perhaps a bigger box of chocolates-you can spend more time looking for nuts-or mayhap you'll find a real creamy one-better chance of finding at least one you'll like |

"I weep tears of pipedreams Onto a floor without The proper plumbing to Withstand the flow." Loved these lines Ed, and the whole poem too, for that matter! Shame about the event that inspired it though.... I hope you find one more worthy soon. The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears. |

Ha, thanks guys, it wasn't a big deal. We both agreed that it wasn't working out. I am always too busy and she's always wants all my attention, lol. I just didn't want to do it on V-day but all's well, we're still friends. Thanks again everybody. - Ed "Give me a museum, and I'll fill it." |

Edward~ Well ... what was it that Gump guy said about that proverbial box of chocolates ??? ~ Your response of the acceptance and friendship makes all the difference in the world~ Here's to another box of sweets~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I greatly admire your work. It's so succinct... not a wasted word and yet so rich. Sorry about your girlfriend. |

Sorry you lost your girlfriend but at least your still friends. Maybe someday it'll work out for both of you. :-) Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, |

I weep tears of pipedreams Onto a floor without The proper plumbing to Withstand the flow. Of all the days.... *S* I think I'd still be throwing things... and you pick up a pen and write exquisite verse. *S* |

There is a lesson here, There is a humanity In the thunder thought Of hopeless loving Without the seat cushion To pad the fall from grace. Very nicely done. Sorry it had to happen for you on Valentines day but I have to agree with DS, it opens many, many windows. Yes though, definately complicated.....indeed....  |
