The Stain A stain remains upon my beach. I fear that it will never leach. It glares at me in sun and moon And in the wrap of garments loom. Although it happened long ago It stays my mind and will not go. It feathers in my pen like sin A spirit sad without a grin One would think a thing of past Would rot and shrink the stoutest mast But no, I say it is not so The glow remains and will not go. Beware of what you say and ask. Guide your tongue reflect it’s bask. Do not let emotions wail Freight it’s led the ship you sail. And though you sail a goody wend It stays with you until the end, |

I like this one! You always have suchhh good rhyme and wonderful themes and morals too. Too many people live on emotions and aren't careful of their words. We all do in some ways... Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

May we only see the stain of one after that, the battle won 'tis a ship that must sail a course, lest there be three more on horse... |

I believe the name of this ship is "Emotions Wail."   *ww*    If made to choose between the power of writing a poem |

Mr. T., you expressed these thoughts so eloquently and I totally agree with you... *** the spoken word is pure energy and therfore it cannot die once uttered it cannot be taken back for energy can be altered but never can it be destroyed take care in what you say your words are like never-ending ripples on the great Sea of Life ((((((((( O ))))))))) Warm angel hugs, EA |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Seymour, this is so very true, sweet friend, there is so much we say and do that is thoughtless yet the message always comes back to haunt us! (sigh) you describe this curse well, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
