The heart has corners, yes, it does wherein to stuff the lies and such but there are no bars and wrought iron gates to prevent their daily walk-abouts. They meander in my forest, glens, to taint the beautiful and touch upon my friendly tears to turn them into angry ones. They even pull on strands of hair and the pain bursts full and free in a head that once thought love above/beyond all things. So I took a scalpel, yes, I did in hands that knew to scrape and smooth the heart into a perfect line like that between the soul and mind. There is no tool to bend and swirl what's come to pass to how it was and of a heart now in a line it remains until my sure demise. It's in the stars or in the palm that heart lines must eventually be a slip and slide for lies and such so they can't attack en masse! Helen / 19 November 2010 |

Hah! Wonderful exercise in the age-old art of trying to arrange and delegate words, phrases and sometimes whole human beings in the darkside of the heart. But yes, indeed they are quite capable of finding their way out of that semi-dungeon to attack and cause mayhem. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Hi Bluesy - People always say "follow your heart" but how uninteresting when it's in a straight line with no corners and bends to make it feel really alive. For now, however, I'll have to settle for the slip and slide which is still on the plus side.  Love Helen |
