Mercury has gone direct--- but things are not quite better yet. Quicksilver of the liquid shine-- I thought my words could make you mine. I thought if I danced long enough I'd show you that I had the stuff-- I thought if you would hear me sing you'd not want for anything... And should I draw the world anew a portrait painted rainbow'd dew-- I thought if I wrote poetry, surely then, you would love me. Tiny stitches, delicate, each thread a dream that I once wept... I painted my lips ruby red in hopes that you'd kiss mine instead. I thought I thought of everything-- I think too much, I think, methinks... |

Serenity, this brought a tear of remembrance to my eye. You don't know how much I have felt this myself. (Mind you, I'd like to be able to pen it as well as you do  )If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Just read it again. Had to add it to the library. Don't mind me, I'll be very quiet here in the library!!! If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Just be yourself. That should always be enough. I loved the imagery in this one and it is one that leaves a person thinking. Wonderful work, Karen. Michael Michael Auguste~ |

Me thinks too much sometimes too, but I can't pen my thoughts as poetically as you. 'I thought my words could make you mine. I thought if I danced long enough I'd show you that I had the stuff-- I thought if you would hear me sing you'd not want for anything...' I remember doing that song and dance a time or two. It never worked for me either. |

I thought  Pluto far and small from site Beauty and love on a visual night Shining gold in distant dust Appearing at dawn or dusk Solar winds blow kisses when In mating call to the hen Silent space an empty place Until the words from your face Kiss me now, you know how The rooster awakes and then the cow Bird’s sing loud of happiness It’s a good morning I must confess But I prefer you here in bed Instead And reapply your ruby red The animals will get fed I thought you’d think me thoughts I think Thinking the thoughts of you I thought |

Quicksilver of the liquid shine-- I thought my words could make you mine. ======================================== And should I draw the world anew a portrait painted rainbow'd dew-- I thought if I wrote poetry, surely then, you would love me. Tiny stitches, delicate, each thread a dream that I once wept... =========================================== (reflected *sigh* AGAIN) pass the Windex baby... me thinks its my turn to clean the mirrors  OH...and....... this line????.............. "Quicksilver of the liquid shine-- I thought my words could make you mine." *shaking me head at you* (again) and wishing I had wrote this poem. me thinks I have now This distance has shown how the road remains alone |

You did it again, girl, just what I was thinking, in such a less maudlin way than I could have said it. Great write. And I am on my way to new Orleans, I need a party SOON. Sandra |

Love this one, sometimes we assume that our sacrifices can make others happy. But some people have a shell that can't be broken, it's life. |
