I love you truly dearly I know the cost of love And I say dearly, really What were we thinking of? You gave me shinin' diamonds Perhaps they were just glass And all those diamonds shinin' Gave me a pain of class You gave me all those baubles The rubies and the like And you may think I'm awful To give them to our tyke I know you had the money I took most of it I'm sure It's not the money honey It's all of that and more I love you truly dearly My love has seen us clear Though to the altar clearly Was not in the program dear Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Keth beloved heart I love your silly ditty, since that’s what you call it others would take it for a really good piece for its flow and style are excellent. You know darling heart that whether you write short, long or somewhere in the middle there is always something incredibly special about your writing. And this is splendiferous   Love and warm stuff As always Slushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the earthquake wind and fire [This message has been edited by Marsha (10-28-2002 07:49 PM).] |

 (sigh) Awwwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, if only the whole world could love like this and look deep into their heart rather than into the depths of their wallets! (kiss on cheek) may this purity of love always shine for you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I like your sense of humor. Funny poem, with a good point. Money can't buy ya love. No matter how good looking she is... someone, somewhere is glad she's gone. |

bslicker, thanks for stopping by, Im glad you enjoyed my fluff and nonsense. suthern, lol, you are a love to see my tongue was so far into my cheek it made a mumpy lump. there was a song in it, you know "a song of love is a sad song hi lily hi lily hi lo" love, how can you praise this, you know I was just playing with (er by) myself. It puts me to shame when your replies are so much more elegant than my poem. Mistletoe Angel, I looked into the depths of my wallet and heard the echoes for this one. garysgirl, The ending was a surprise to me too. All that innocence and nowhere to take it.  Amy, if you think this was good I think you need you common cents realigned. *Smile Robert Adamson, Thanks,fun I can do it's the real stuff I have problems with  SimplyGold, I'm glad you didn't feel ripped off. *Stubby*, thanks and ditto Enchantress, thanks for the chuckles. reluctantlyme, It depends on who you listen to the Beatles say no Pink Floyd says yes. Sue, all is very well with me thank you for asking and responding Bill, I'm so glad you said that, I think they grate too. Deer, I would never stick a knife into you, I enjoy too much your slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Heck I enjoy your outrageus fortune too.  Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Bev de Bump just visited me She said quite explicitly To raise this poem up once more To let it fly watch it soar She asked me to raise it high I didn’t ask her what or why To me it seems quite clear Its because it brings a tear Tears of laughter I meant to say The kind that wash pain away They fill the soul, fill the heart Bring joy that will not depart So Bev de Bump do your bit Show this poem is a hit Send it up to the top Gathering smilies non stop   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |
