wrote this for a friend..not for me.. ............................. i heard a scream that early morn while the devil laughed with glee i couldn't be quite certain but i think he was laughing at me... i found i lost a game today the world turned fast as my head spun i didnt realize i was playing-- thats how the devil won and now i embace this twisted truth alone in my empty soul i couldnt know this feeling until the life he stole i have no place to rest dark blame only this piercing ache corroding the blessed core of me causing my heart to shake rockabye my empty arms my soft and innocent ghost a piece of me lay rest with the morn the devil's song, composed... -dgvarner < !signature--> "so lift your heart with mine...the depth to which it grieves is the height to which it can celebrate!" -Lisa Hussey [This message has been edited by dgvarner (edited 11-17-2000).] |

Wow again, dg! The emptiness and despair is so vivid here! It makes me think of the emptiness I felt when I had a miscarriage. I'm also glad it is not you, and hope your friend finds the way out of this black pit soon. hugs for being so caring!< !signature--> To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn [This message has been edited by kcsgrandma (edited 11-17-2000).] |

DgV, What came to mind was that your friend had an abortion before considering the ramifications or her actions, now she bares the guilt of this decision. Only a feeling! Powerfully written poem with such sadness. Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

brr-r-r...c-c-COLD... *breathes fire on his own scales to warm himself up* there, that's better...  But they're right--there's something you're not telling us! This poem has to have some basis...so what is it?? Yeah, a nice flow...and very, very haunting, if you ask me...brrr-r-r... but no less of a great work.  Little Spyro T.

Dee, this is sooooo amazingly brilliant, as all yours are. This is full of the cold and the self blame, and I'm so glad this isn't you. You are such a superb, talented, and astoundingly wonderful writer. (Was that enough superlatives for you, and if it wasn't blame Ethome, he's nicked all the best ones. It's all right I'll get them back. I just need to arrange a trade that's all.)I love this one Dee I really do, you've put it together so well. Take care Bubbles (I wonder if I can trade some old poetry for them, I'll use yours, mines no good. You wouldn't mind would you. )Speak to you soon Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

peg, dreamkeeper, tricks, mar, eL, den, spryo, bubbles....i wont thank you all personally, because i'm not sure what to say actually..i feel this one deep..even tho it is for a close friend as apposed to my own experience..all your comments mean so much to me, as always, but especially on this one..and i posted it here, because of how personal it feels..i knew i wanted it to be 'home' in the pub..not in the quick open forum where things get passed by and passed on so quickly.. thank you all again..for your attention and your kind words means much! hugs, gale |
