In the books of Life-
I've learned of change,
(betwixt, between)
of craved-on dream.
In sacrifice-
always a cost,
simple nuance-
that souls cannot pay twice.

Of my live and learn,
(I fell hard)
dangling steepest grades,
climbed fast up
gained Deity's trust-
Her swear,
I'd never fade.
Still felt-
and ever-sighted,
browns and jade
collided,
spilled into-
e'ry song
I've
never played-
until you..

In Love I've learned-
chapters, abound.
I've hooked and hurt,
known losses great-
but always touched the ground.
Not this time- not this find,
Those were ear-marks-
guided lines
of time-
in Fail.
But for this storm
my strength
my warm,
I poured
all wishes,
never made-
so still remain-
I turn that page
and wear your spell.

Inside, a lesson
and a dream-
I hear you now,
it beats a
stream-
to steady bounds.
In the drip
and slip of Life?
Heart's beauty
still astounds!

I've learned to
smile
when I cry-
'til made
blind
on fits of rain,
cataloged
in every stain-
time-stamped
in pain and style
of love..
in life-long miles.

And I cannot, cannot go.."

My, my, Devina, Love! Such a wondrous apparition, the pleasure of two giving of themselves to the other . . . Ahhh . . . But invariably  it seems hurt and tears and wails in the night comes between the lovers . . . History repeats itself over and over and . . . Throughout recorded times love finds a way to injure the very people it brought together in splendid romancing and hot-blooded arousal. I believe it is happening to me as we speak . . . er . . . write. We never, ever learn.

NOT laughing Jerry..

I just woke up in a good mood? I apologize if you took it literally. Always enjoy your feedback and hope you realize that.

I thought this was beautiful, Tanya.  What I see here is more than old hurts, but a passion and zest to take what you have now and run with it... having learned from your old old hurts, and what caused them, what is really important.  I think knowing your past, and being willing to stare it full in the face, brings more sureness and security to your future.  *raises your level of passion as well, which I absolutely love in you.  We are definitely the exception, Tanya.  And I thank you for making me smile.
