Mermaid Cove mistakes are something I can somehow fix I have fallen from grace and scraped my knees words sadly silent only turn vapor cold the windows I am not angry or bitter I just want to be heard and the lines on my face are leading to somewhere age is slowly teaching me not to stop or be so silent for even words in regret are worth the sound if I do not say them you will never know ending up being lines on page maybe read you say I press against the glass looking for romance I laugh to myself inside when you say that you have given up, but still search for an illusive mermaid ending up more like me than you even know for mermaids don’t live in a bucket on the shore “but I'm so hard to handle |

age is slowly teaching me not to stop or be so silent for even words in regret are worth the sound if I do not say them you will never know ending up being lines I was grinning while reading this, it seems the older we get, the more confident we become and the less we watch our words...yanno? outstanding write....very much enjoyed |

Among the memorable lines you write: "words sadly silent only turn vapor cold the windows . . . for even words in regret are worth the sound . . . you say I press against the glass looking for romance . . . for mermaids don’t live in a bucket on the shore" Yes, indeed, they are worth the sound. e |

OneSlick~ You even make the ache flow melodically~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
