~*~

Honesty in small quantities
take me the long way around
far from now until then
and never instead
cry baby, cry.

I could have snuck by
and slipped out the screen door
to breathe in your smoke
clouding my eyes
how dare you dare me, then take it all back.

Truth is,
I don't choke that easy on stuffed up pipe dreams
you might have been just what I needed
but it's not worth my breath
that dissipates in thin air.

Hi Blues,  

I’m glad that the smoke alarms went off, and you told Artie Choke to beat it. He sounds like a real stuffy guy.  Slip out that screen door to the backyard, and get some nice cool fresh air...  

I just know that someday, your going to find that special someone.
Who in all the right ways,

really, takes your breath away...


As always, this was really good!

Thanks Blues!
Richy

....psst....a little secret....I love it when you talk tough....

.....not sure why, but there's something about the poetry you write in that way...very arresting. There are subtexts in it that are impossible to ignore, and it's just as impossible not to be moved by them.

Lori, I love it when you tell it like it is, too....

Gary says that I'm being "sassy" when I talk
this way. And you know what? He says it's a turn-on and
he loves it!! Go figure that one!!  LOL

I just know, sweet Lori, that that special someone
is going to happen to you one day, and he will
feel the same about you and you do for him.

I've actually been told that before ;-} being a chronic lover and all.  I have a lot to learn, this moment provided by you.  Peace, Joe

(big hugggssssss) Oh Lori, I send many angel hugs your way, sweet friend, no one deserves to have to breathe through these clouds of smoke anywhere and I know very soon you'll find that special someone who only brings light and warmth to the air! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
