As the drum beats quicken The time draws near. My bowels tighten And I taste fear. A gallery of faces Prepare to watch the show. A glance around Tells me what they know. A surge of rage From the depths of my soul - I took charge of my life, Now I've lost control! Would it help to beg? If so, I will plead! Before I am finished, There's so much I need. One more night to wonder What the next day brings, One more crisp fall sky, Another breath of spring, One more song of love, One more passionate night, Another morning In the sun's first light. Pain fades to numbness, But I long to feel! Darkness in daytime - Death is real. A betrayal of time And I pay the cost While old age whimpers For a victim lost. |

You've got talent to spare, Suthern! (except, of course, in your choice of men, and I use that word loosely) |

Tori and Balladeer: Thank you for your kind words... As for my choice of men, 'Deer... that's closer to sheer genius than talent! (Although he's both... genius AND talent! LOL) [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 09-09-99).] |
