Impaled



Ah, but now my heart
torn by you,
lying in hands, left and right,
what mode of death,
oh, what mode vile specter,
what mode of death

am I to die

at those fingertips,

yes, those fingertips,
whose pointed nails impale,

impale

my very soul.


Ah, such love as mine,
foolishly holding on,
crying -

more,


oh more,


Oh . . .


More

Love the analogy...intense and passionate at the same time.

Happy father's day to you jwesley.

Thanks, Blues - it was a very nice fathers day.
I couldn't do enough of nothing as far as the family was concerned and finally told them I was "bored" doing nothing!

So they let me move from the chair - - - to the couch!!

. . . and fed me steak.
