Lines Borrowed From A Letter we lose our grip we let go true had I let you slip from the edge of my fingers it was my fault I admit I am guilty and here I am pouring on you like some liquid skin the raw edge of something missing how can I explain reasons of deserve when mistake to mistake stand stacked up volume after volume strewn about cluttering any path of nothing to offer in my deserve you deserve better I am nothing more than poetic verse and these words are all I am and all I have would it be enough "no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love" Anne Rice |

a powerful, insightful write with some thought-provoking images, but you sell yourself far too short (in my humble opinion)...worth is so subjective |

This made me think that holding-on should be good enough. Enjoyed! Janette always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

Guilt is a powerful emotion that is more likely than not a two-way street but with one person accepting all of the blame. Ida |

Those that write the verse tend to be and feel so much more... It does not make you but rather is a part of you. Anyone that can't see that doesn't get it or you.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I admit I am guilty and here I am pouring on you like some liquid skin the raw edge of something missing ---------------------------------- The above lines carry some powerful images and emotions with them and then your ending . . . ------------------------------ I am nothing more than poetic verse and these words are all I am and all I have would it be enough --------------------------------- In order to have the words and verse, you have to have the heart and soul to understand, feel, and convey, so maybe there is more to you than you realize. I enjoyed much |
