Silently I sit Enveloped in my thoughts Spoken words for no one And in this sickness I found my voice for you Remembering the words you gave gently soothingly eased this tired soul a soft blanket they wrapped around me tucked ‘neath my chin and lulled me to sleep And in my illness I smile wanly at those memories of you Good ‘ol Jim quietly singing to me about time trapped in a bottle as I listen intently never understanding never until you I look over my shoulder gazing down the past my life’s journey a narrow path ever turning, twisting little paths, either side my children, match my stride And looking forward as Fate takes my hand my path widens making room for you |

And with this soft Southern drawl Will ever I lull thee to sleep's embrace Reading Pratchett with whimsy and wit Until I close the book and slowly Stroke thy hair from out thy tired eyes Tomorrow will soon be upon us But graveyard shifts still hold me captive Folger's beckons with siren's song Dark aroma wafting and waltzing As you tenderly peek from under Tired lids and sweetly grant me Your smile as Jim sends his love In a song Alicat |

Satiate, what can I say, but that was wonderful.. Makes me think though.. Now I will have to kick back and relax to Jim.. Now Ali had the other good idea-- coffee.. You love me like no man can first thing in the morning inside and out.. I guess that I can't say that anymore now that I'm pregnant.. hehehe.. I have a beat that will go along with this nicely.. Once again great job and keep it up. Now, I wonder who this was written for? Love, Lady ------------------ Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured. |

Satiate, I truly love your free verse! It takes my breath away... ------------------ ~onevoice~ "Odi et amo. Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior." |

Satiate, I just wanted to let you and this forum know, that I, Alicat, love you. I am more than willing to accept friendship, if that is the only recourse, but irregardless of the outcome, I will love you. For the past month my thoughts have been even sillier than normal, with whimsical grins pasted on my face for hours at work, causing no end to confused looks from my co-workers. But that is OK...for love truly is a wonderous thang. Alicat, the twitterpated kitty [This message has been edited by Alicat (edited 09-15-99).] |
