I walk the ledge of somewhere between the inbetweens
learning patience of another kind
attempting to balance the rights and wrongs
gambling my here and now, for a promise

to throw it all away becomes a fatal flaw
in the make-up of my soul
I want to twine myself through you
and curl around the memories of us
tendrils wrapping, twisting, smothering
until my frustrations crush the very life
out of this tender beginning

you, my lover on a distant soil
walk a narrow precipice too
along a razor's edge of too far -too long
while you bleed bitter tears
alone in the dark where no-one sees

and yet, somehow we hang on
shrouded by memories of a peace yet to come
and the promise of a passioned past
to become the history of us




A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one.
Mae West (1892-1980)

Just remember this hunny: if you feel yourself starting to lose your balance, then reach out and grab hold of me. I won't let you fall!



Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. - Bill Vaughan
