hungry for the something
baking just beyond the door
angry at the nothing there
in feast of can I have some more
restless for a break in wall
curse monotony of sky
a prison skin of hostage sin
and pores that will not sweat me out
patterns on the lid of eye
tell me tiles, how should I play?
take this set and plan the next
shuffle for another game.

I always give before I take.
the obvious infuriates
after I concede my loss--
then I see where I have strayed
calculating terms of cost.

click-wood-click
the pieces fit
designed to madden me just so.
mix the pieces twice, my love--
just one more game before I go...

When you figure it all out...please give me a call...I am just too tired.

Love you lady!

Serenity...Enjoyed. Is it a game of tiles or pieces of your life that you write of?
You have me pondering dear friend...Paul

I am going to cry...this entire poem is just to good. Now I am going to have to spend the weekend trying to come up with something this good myself!

I'm still a novice a mah jong, but I am WAY addicted already--and as always, I see the patterns of life in strategic games.

Sunnyone? Should you ever have the time, I would love to play a game or two with you.

Should be fun for you--smile--I seem to have a pattern of LOSING.

Hugs and love to all. I do appreciate your reading. I just don't know how to say thank you properly. sigh.
