White Picket Fences Yesterday I came to the realization that I really don't care anymore. There's beauty now where hatred once laid restless there's calm that I no longer want to smash the faces in of lovers on the screen, of those with no pain, only gain. Now I laugh, stripping skin off skin numb is acceptance and fairytales are boring, too predictable; What a fool I've been, typical mass-produced female wanting the white picket fence and roses without the thorns. Love has a funny way of picking favourites of dealing an ugly hand to one and supplying the white paint to another without strings. I guess in this lifetime I'm it's puppet in play and now I know the sadness of becoming strangers from the marriage that hope and I used to hold. I used to think that everyone had their chance to paint the white over the black that everyone found a love that would last that God understood this vital kiss to survive; What a cliche I am, typical mass-produced dreamer loyal to a possibility that isn't loyal to me. But, I've learned that God does build white picket fences afterall and the piece from it that He's given me is big enough, sharp pointed spear to pierce through my heart, white enough to soak up the blood of dreams left to die. Melissa Long-Monette Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Melissa, again you have given us such an incredibly well written piece, poignant and so full of depth. This part of it?? "Love has a funny way of picking favourites of dealing an ugly hand to one and supplying the white paint to another without strings. I guess in this lifetime I'm it's puppet in play and now I know the sadness of becoming strangers from the marriage that hope and I used to hold." darn, you've expressed this so well, in a way that I never could, but most definately wish I could have, and most definately I know this particular ache all too well... Hugs to you Melissa... seek the flame within yourself |

Excellent is all I'll say I was going to reply but walked away Now I rejoice In your words That say and stay For the moment That passion Heats Like a meal Cooked on rare Moulded with an inlaw's stare That feared one thing Above all else That you Would be Better Than Themselves dave |
