I’ll Share
The opposite view

I’d share with you the truth of me
My deeps and my complexity
The way my soul aches in cold
The fear that I will lose my hold
I’d share the real and whole of me
The now and then of what can be
The way I rise and how I fall
I’ll share it now I’ll share it all

For you who know all that I am
The sundered soul of this woman
The fluff that hides the deeper pain
The knowledge that I’ll fly again
You who know the path to me
You’ve seen the sights that I see
The loss of spirit the tears I’ve shed
The loneliness inside my head

I’ll share the darkness and the light
I’ll share the pain of empty night
Inside my soul I’ll let you see
The darkness that will cover me
The loss is mine that much is true
But even that I’d share with you

My soul is playing truth or dare
And those I love know this I’ll share

Marsha


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

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, and we all understand the otherside of you and know we are always here for you as we all have these bad memories and grief we clutch close to our hearts and that is what friends are for, to be able to feel and comfort that special place and share! (sigh) Know you are loved by us all, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Tears and heartache were our common ground
That forged a friendship true
And through the months, we've many smiles found
But I'm depending on you
To remember that love's not a fair weather game
My shoulders are broad and wide
So when the tears flow, do not be ashamed...
I'll be right there at your side.

This is just lovely, Marsha... I wish your view didn't include so much sadness... my heart hurts for you. Big hugs across the miles. *S*

Heartfelt, beautifully written. You write straight from the heart, and it beats loudly on these pages, Marsha, as you share the beauty of your inner soul.

Toe... I'm on my way! *G* Marsha... you didn't hear that invitation... LOL For while I'll share my friendship, my love, and even my near-non existent bank account, I WON'T share Toe! LOL

Everyone thank you so much for reading, this was the flip side of I’ll Not Share and only written because so many thought I should share all of me.

Toe darling man of course I know you have two shoulders but I have an eye for the baseball bat Suthern keeps close at hand, and although I’ll share my heart my soul and my thoughts with her always, I don’t want any share of that bat.

Suthern beloved heart, what a spoilsport darling heart, I wasn’t going to do more than borrow him for a little while, you could have him back later, even if his shoulder was a little soggier than it was to begin with. But since you know me far too well I’ll stand clear love. Big Smile Love you always darling heart, speak to you soon


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

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
