Somewhere... out there...

0 posted 2004-05-13 06:00 AM



hiding 'hind a poker face
security in blank of stare...
beyond the hypnotize of
eyes in realize of
rules unfair

in unawares
of ace in sleeve...
the cards were cut
in confidence
and quicker than the
eye can see
a heart was dealt
from 'neath the deck...
illusion of a
winning hand
with joker in his
dance of wild
as if he knows the
fates to be... and
in his knowing
smiles...

the poker face is
growing tired...
the game the same
with every hand
the chips are down
no bluffing now

the final round...


I call

Vicki,
It's nice to know you're still in the groove. Smooth write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

This has layers, sweetie...
and there's more at stake
than the pot of gold...

Well done!
