Your photograph still affords me a moment of delusion just long enough to fleetingly embrace the narcotic dream of us. You are beautiful… I am better on paper this time let’s leave me there. |

 (sigh) Oh Duncan, this is very touching, sweet friend, may that pretty face from behind the photograph forever caress the depth of your heart and fill you with comfort and assurance! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, God Bless You, you certainly have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Duncan, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

wondered if you were ever going to get around to this... about time.  I've got to go look in the archives... I know there was one you wrote that made me totally envious..wishing I had written it. This one made me think of it... |

I get the feeling that you are better off the paper, than you think you are!---and that is saying something, because you are pretty darn good on it! Warm hugs, Linda |

Duncan......Perhaps a poet is always envious of the person they are on paper..I wonder, and a great read! Voting! |

(Smiles) Notice that I don't include a picture!!! Some of us here I'm afraid are a lot less photogenic than we are poetigenic. I like this one. Short, simple and to the point.-Bob |

Duncan, You surprised me. A submission that is not your typical write. Well done, I like it. Gets my vote for sure. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
