Love don't grow in a desert of broken promises Love don't grow in a sea of broken dream Another lie cast at my feet like a glowing gem Left to torment and tease me Love don't grow in a wasteland of empty nights Love don't grow in the coldness of an empty bed Another promise to drown me in salt water tears Yet you dont choke on the words Love don't grow in a heart left barren by neglect Love don't grow in a river flooded by regret Another lonely night floating on the sea The sea of broken dreams |

nice to read you again, Paula You know sometimes it's the little things that keep love growing: understanding, compromising, a smile, a phone call...  M |

Hi Paula. How are you?? You were the first one who got me started on Pip, and I will always remember that!!! As for me I haven’t really done anything. This poem oozes with deep pain and suggests deception, seduction and betrayl, of a trust violated. I do hope I am wrong, or that at any rate you are now healing. How does it feel to ## (we won’t tell). Anyway , my Pip email does not work but I can go online and read the replies. Fruns Jaime Hey, nobody's human! |

Love can be fragile or strong, mistaken for obsession, last short or long. Some people never seem to learn and others, well, somehow they do. A good read---I can feel the disappointment, of course. |

"Love don't grow in a wasteland of empty nights Love don't grow in the coldness of an empty bed Another promise to drown me in salt water tears Yet you dont choke on the words" Powerful words Paula. |

Girl, you sure do know how to squeeze the words out of your heart, and it really is sheer poetry! Good to see you again... |
