The settings of these cold days come That holidays bring with them Strumming of the mindless glum Not wanting to foresee it Each click I hear as seconds tick Reminds me of it’s nearing These thoughts of which my mind does stick The worst of which I’m fearing A holiday season spent alone Neither wanting nor receiving The sense that I have long since grown And want for time of leaving And yet there centers in this path The need to let it pass What kind of memories would I leave For those whom I’ve left back I do not contemplate this deed Just stress that it’s the feeling No longer do I want this need To myself I am deceiving I look onto this holiday And hold my head up smiling Ignoring all these words I’ve said The beast in me defying The darkened part this season brings I realize each day That keeping on this road I’m on Will help me find my way To not share that I feel inside Let happiness prevail Confine the emptiness I find Shield from this world detail Another year I’ve held up well Kept from the children bleeding Passed this test and will not tell Inside I am still grieving For togetherness [This message has been edited by spiked (edited 11-20-2000).] |

So well wrought, Spiked. I believe I know just what you're saying, and I admire your eloquence in saying it. I've been thinking on a poem of this very nature, just don't know where to start. VERY good writing, thank you ~ Rainydays |

Hey...you are welcome, Rich, to spend the holidays with us...heh heh. Wouldn't exactly call it "heart-warming" but it is definitely distracting! You tugged the heart strings with this one...Hugs to you...and I'm here with an ear should ya need it. |

I thank the three of you very much Rainy, Paula and Serenity. More to do with the holiday feeling than actually being alone. the first holidays are always the worst ones and I'll be fine just thought I'd capture that feeling as they approach. Not meant to take away from this beautiful time of the year. Thanks Rich |

----------------------------------------- To not share that I feel inside Let happiness prevail Confine the emptiness I find Shield from this world detail ----------------------------------------- Spiked, this is truly a touching write... It leaves me in the reflection of my own hidden tears.... I don't have words to reply but I do wish to convey my respect for such an endearing write...  coco |

HEY---the offer stands. You KNOW that, though...Merry Christmas, m'luv, and a Ho...Ho...Ho? and an evil elvish grin, too...*winks* from the naughty elves... |
