Listen To Your Lonely I know where you hurt do you let it show grey, in the spaces between black and white aching sound of weary wings do you still hear my heart treading in midair of settle I once gave my heart away quietly it rest melted in the ridges of your finger tips I am so lost without you constantly walking backwards to the map of my heart shadows fell into the dust bleeding it is such a weakness in me I had accidently loved you a terrified stranger little pieces of perfect need swans on the waves whisper secrets of salt being tears without water I have broken your faith maybe I could explain but I have held my words unable to utter a sound stubborn pride lies to me I know where you are gently touching dirt in the garden picking out all the clinging weeds you found me once if you should ever want find me, again "I'm so hard to handle |

when I'm really sad I'd prefer to live in the spaces inbetween except that my swollen heart usually won't fit. Your violin-ic words have resonance, Slick Gal, Jeff |

"little pieces of perfect need" five simple words of poetry--and *ahem*--what a great name it would be for one "slick" anthology! I heart you. sigh...  (sorry if I smell like beer) and um, the five o'clock shadow too.  ?Love you! |

Oh so sensitive a write Helen. I doubt that I would ever want someone to find me again though. Just me. If they found fault with me once, I would not give them a second chance to make me feel less than I was.  |

..."find me, again." Wow! What a universal, human-kind, lament sighed by everyone at some time or another, and done in just three words. Wonderful to read you again, my friend... as usual... j. |

I only have simple words for this... One of the more touching, sad, hopeful, and beautiful things I've read, in a long time. Helen, you're basically just amazing, oh... and wonderful too. But then I've been telling you that for years, in the whispered moments between the lines of your verse. You are very special. Richard xx |
