Document of More Than a Hundred Days


what is the meaning of love
even as I speak of it
I wonder
yet without it
it is a drink without water
my mind is not forgetful
and thoughts of you
are locked inside
an aching loneness
within my head and heart
this affair in ink
in letters I write to you
and never bring myself
to send though unread
still exist


“all romantics meet the same fate”…Joni Mitchell

Isn't it interesting how when we write something down it becomes truth even if never seen by another soul. you did a good job with this.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

How strange I was going to make the same reference to writing something down makes it become truth.  Be careful what is wished for as I wrote something done three times and left three husbands.

I love this one!  

I have felt this in my heart many times before ... love unsure, too scared to be requited ...

"this affair in ink
in letters I write to you
and never bring myself
to send though unread
still exist"


Thanks!
