fleeting mirrors of those in the night haunt the ShadowPoet those transitory glimpses of sensuously painted red lipstick it will eventually wash off not so the memories life, back then, was afire so hot so passionate so . . . ShadowPoet cloudbursts couldn't extinguish it the ShadowPoet's pen trembles with remembrance fire in the belly scorching everything he touched leaving ugly scars wondering eyes, lips unkissed hearts wounded to the quick he has forgiven himself have they his women with all their damage have they slipped a noose's knot around the ShadowPoet's forgiveness where it dangles suspended even in death ©Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Forgiveness it a lot easier to carry around than the stone weight of anger...life goes on...good job... *may our dreams ever be magical* |

I have discovered, Karen, that by the time we think back to those "bad" days we are not the same person, so self forgiveness is like forgiving another person. Thank you for being here. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
