You said that it would end this way. You said I would have not a thing. You said that I'd beg you to stay. You said, you said, such cripplings. If you've learned nothing from our lives-- learn something from the death of us. Nobody can get out alive. I think I would have rathered lies and leave with pennies on my eyes of a simple copper trust-- weights of measure fluttering in the stead of starburst rust taking place profundity-- I wish to die not having seen this I see before me now... You said that it would end this way. Thus I blinked my offering-- the best coin I have ever spent-- at least I know my death is paid. Life and Lincolns- set of twins rolling rusty my two cents... |

Incredible, Serenity! I especially liked the following, but the entire poem is what worked the magic. "I think I would have rathered lies and leave with pennies on my eyes of a simple copper trust-- weights of measure fluttering in the stead of starburst rust taking place profundity-- Sadie |

Wow Karen, you're an amazing chickie. M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

thank you. Funny, but it's like the end of a horror movie--just when you think the villain is dead? She blinks. Thanks again, your words in reply to mean more than you will ever know. |
