Under Our Smiles We meet and part. Our talk is all of here and now, Our conduct equally as trite. In no act or word is there any future, any past. Under our smiles Lie the unspoken truths: I know that you've grown past wanting me, Long past needing me in your life. And you know when I leave To whom I will go. Can even love be treated so? |

Wow Beki! This just grabs you and jerks you upright. I think more than a few of us can identify. Great poem. |

I feel your heavy emotion in this one...I've been through it myself...keep faith- I hope that all works out for you!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Many of us have been there You put feelings in nice poetry here Such emotional piece Thank you The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Thank you Tasi, Rex, Devina and Helmut..I am glad you could relate. I wrote this poem about 15 years ago, and since have learned how to keep that relationship in perspective and not be hurt by the might have beens anymore.  [This message has been edited by Beki (edited 02-10-2000).] |
