Just musing about the life and near loves people find themselves involved in. Not all are fortunate at finding true love as I have . . . implications of perpetuity lights up the temporal grandeur of the night where frivolity takes a backseat to nothingness and fatal dreams of yearning alone we walk down enthusiastic boulevards of the comatose knowing the next corner turned we'll find that rainbow's pot 'o gold a shiny radiance of life's sweet liqueur these velvety, but unrealistic thoughts give much false hope kinda like a woman of the street claiming virginity so we are back to being alone pining for lies to be true at times like these when reality creeps inside our façade that deteriorating silence smothers our smiles ©March 3, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways . . . ~*~ |

Don't know how I missed this gem earlier Jerry. You have been down this road before but you penned it in a different season and it was completely different... I love the way you are able to do that. lori |

I know, Lori, the difference in, as you said, seasons make all the difference in how to cope with life's problems in adjusted ways. Thank you for you words. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways . . . ~*~ |

I am counting my blessings these days!! Sometime we have to travel down roads of uncertainty where every turn leads to a dark alley. Like you, I've been there done that!! Thank you for this, it makes me feel grateful. |
