You won't call me what I am,
the man who wears a black coat
shepherd through his blonde fade
and tile washed eyes.

You can't hold me
unless my shoulders feel weak.
I don't know a face
below my eyes that
can see my heart beat,
with the walls too thin
to hear the conversation within,
with thoughts of a life that carries riches,
grandeur's of love,

But for not;
for the illusion,
a feigning tan
to the hourglass drip.

I can ride the journey path
without the journeyman's compass,
and as surreal as a fall may be,
It doesn't touch where I sit, where I stand,
and the band of clouds that cross every morning,
aren't the same to me as the man next to me.

But deep down, I dream,
today I can see,
today breathes me.

Some very vivid lines, and that ending is great!

You see, you guys are true poets.
Where as I am just a guy that plays with words to make them do tricks for me.
I can do it with numbers too, but there is no pipmath.
Lovely write, dear.
It's just that I'm jealous of your talent.

G Bride, I appreciate the compliments...but I think you're a fine writer. Don't let up...and believe me, I have a long way to go. Take care.

Cheers
