I wrote this earlier in the year and just came accross it....I revised it a bit for the post....alot of it could apply to a situation I am in now,,,weird how that works out....  Did I make you nervous? Did I say something wrong? Did I walk just a little too close to you? Did I see you smile when I walked by? Tell me can you look me in the eye? you can let out your sigh... I'll keep our secret no I won't regret it.... I listen to all of the lines you use telling lies whenever you choose baby I've played the game eventually you'll lose they'll come a time to pay your dues you act so smooth I have no pity for you just waiting for the smoke from the flame that you provoke trying to hide the siganls you send to my soul hiding behind smokescreens pretending not to let it show do you think they'll ever know? and nothing good can come of this no the stars won't hear our wish the angels they would not approve tell me will you make your move? baby we've got so much to lose and I could never ask you to choose I've played this game before every minute wanting more holding on to a simple wish to have~~to hold~~to kiss nothing good can come of this what happens when it all shines through? tell me baby what will you do? this glass a window to our hearts spread out for all to view saying things our hearts can't hide pages in a book opened wide and I'm just waiting for the smoke from this flame that you provoke trying to hide the signals you send to my soul hiding behind smokescreens pretending not to let it show do you think they'll ever know? words you softly speak to me I wonder if you really mean I try my hardest not believe because this game hurts when you play it too long I don't understand how it could feel so good and be so wrong and it will all blow up in our face we'll bury our secrets without a trace trying to pretend it didn't exist believing that there wasn't passion in our kiss hoping that the others touch will never be missed going on with what's left of your life I'm sure you really do love your wife and I promise not to tell her all the things you said to me because even if just for a moment you helped me to be free and I'm just waiting for the smoke from this flame that you provoke trying to hide the signals you send to my soul hiding behind smokescreens pretending not to let it show Do you think they'll ever know? < !signature--> Just me [This message has been edited by sarahC (edited 08-22-2000).] |

Hmmm...hiding behind a smoke screen...how very true. I think this happens in a lot of ways...people are a lot more cautious it seems these days and words and emotions don't meant the same as they once did. Some people go through a lot to cover them...things always look distorted when you gaze at them through a screen of smoke. Excellent poem, sarahC...you really expressed a lot here. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |

loved this poem, full of anxiety and contradiction, bit like life really. Well Done Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
