 Carnaubian Memories there were some, decorative, pretty, pinks and greens, reds and whites, beige and light blues, but curiously innocuous in that some time back then, however, not in the recent, because "safety comes first" so there is no glow of love vis a vis the flame sometimes I wonder if I went to Brazil for the real thing perhaps it would bring around the ring of truth but instead there is just a ring of promise and commitment and he holds me to it and I wonder if he really wants to be here and if I really want to be here, or there… he keeps me on a pedestal like a fine candle itself and even though I am safe he does not let me burn so I only ask if he will take me off the pedestal once in a while to dust me today the marketplace holds the fragrance of the candle's wax as if a treasure fit for a king, and as a queen, I would pick it up and breathe it in but why go to the expense when we won't even go to the trouble of lighting the flame which might bring about the times he would like to know again someday one day I am going to do as I see done in the movies, and draw a long bath ~ and scent it with vanilla and light candles and then some more candles and then one more candle ~ for the past, and the present, and my lonesome but growsome future, and I will look at the reflection in the mirror, and I shall bathe myself alone in carnaubian memories. 23 December 2000 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari love, you will shine brighter than the brightest star, you will fly higher than the highest mountian, and you will love for ever and then for ever again. You will do all you can, be all you can, and see all you can. This is my pledge to you love. I know because it's written in the stars themselves. You cannot tie a star down, and you can't hold the wind. And your light is alight and will never be extinguished, you know this love, just listen to your hearts voice. Take care love Majestic Mushy Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Just like Marge - much much too close to home - Hell I could light 178 candles -(twice as many as Mark) and get no response - Are all of us in this boat?) |

I am going to do as I see done in the movies, and draw a long bath ~ and scent it with vanilla and light candles and then some more candles and then one more candle ~ ....I do this every day...Karilea and it is really a "treat" that no one should miss...a beautifully molded poem... ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |
