I Am But A Paper Doll Fashioned out of just paper someone you can dress to fit your every mood, this is how you see me no value I am to you. If not to your liking then with a flamboyant jolt you undress my attire to fit what you desire. On my better dressed days you find it most amusing to strip away my feeling high just because you can. Fashioned out of just paper something of not much value is how you perceive me to be, making sure I know this is were you stand. Flesh and blood means nothing even though you made public your vows to treasure me, no matter which way we were to land. Now I wait for the moment in time to dress with vim and vigor and paste you to the wall with no more than cheep glue. How could you possibly ever think that this flimsy paper doll you dress to fit your every mood would ever have the stamina to walk all over you.

Cerenity, It reminds me of the joke how many men does it take to wallpaper a room. Answer, four but you have to slice them thinly. You paper the walls with him darlin'. Powerful write. Be well 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."- |

Well after reading Kethry's reply I believe it makes more sense to me than what I had in mind. Though I am a guy, I have to say I agree with her. Excellent verse in form and flow and Loaded to the hilt with power. I do believe you are one paper doll constructed out of the highest quality stock. |

Hi Everyone, I was feeling a bit tierd last night of being RIPED to shreds for NO reason at ALL, just redid the tile floor and hehe have a five gallon bucket of some glue that would stand the test of ages what do you think, just kidding. I am glad you could understand what the poem was about, thank you so much for your kind replys. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!"

Cerenity - such a powerful voice you used here - I especially like the way you ended this poem - as for the paper clothes *lifting the tabs ever so sneakily to see if they slip off the shoulders* |

Flesh and blood means nothing even though you made public your vows to treasure me, no matter which way we were to land. Now I wait for the moment in time to dress with vim and vigor and paste you to the wall with no more than cheep glue Well there is always at least one joker in very pack of cards in the same when that there is one creep ( the word I would like to use it a bit too colourful ) to give the rest of us a bad man. Cerenity I know how some men can be, being one myself, and I would say dump the guy because you deserve the best. Wonderfully written piece, be a doll for no one. The softest thing in the world Will overcome the hardest.Non-being can enter where there is no space". Taoist saying |
