Face Up I had jumped in deep to the shallow side of you where I found my life in your eyes summed up in two short lines as if I was a review in a one store town newspaper that only published once a month folded around insignificance left at the door casual you had not bothered to even open I do believe you missed the best story hidden between the lines on the page that said I was beautiful and worth a second glance fixed but your eyes can only see in distance instead of straight in front of you and it is not for me to judge for you are much better at it than I but speaking classified, true beauty is so much more than a face "no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love" Anne Rice |

Wow, this rocks! And you are indeed, so much more than the beautiful face we see. |

Indeed it is much more Helen, and you dear lady are not only beautiful outside, but inside also. Very clever play on words and truly loved the theme of this. One of your best ever. Hugs to you sweetie. |

Oh, wow... to say this is one of your best is really saying something because your work is always a treat to read... but you write a truth here that I wish so much more would heed... fantastic!! |
