-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i speak in written word; my lips, no sound may utter-- though in my silence i may be found, my soul in mortal mutter. you may fail to hear me if you close your eyes-- you must look beyond the sounds and become mesmerized. silence from my lips; my heart believes in time-- the time it takes to form the words in the straightest line. deep beneath the brightest smile, and underneath the tear is a story or an explanation i wait for you to hear. so hear me with your eyes, hear my written line; in my silence my words were aging-- as the finest tasting wine. --dgvarner [This message has been edited by dgvarner (edited 07-16-2000).] |

This is so.. good, there isn't a word to describe just how good. Fantastique, is the closest I come to describing it I suppose. But it still seems that it's not praise enough. You know I love this right? ![]() |

dgvarner, well, great sentiment, lovely piece, gets my vote easily. Although I had a little trouble with line 10. It said lips, so I was looking at your pic, and got lost in a daze, cause it said.... and become mesmerized. So I was and now, so I wondering how they taste with wine. I must be drunk with lips..... Well great poem... and very red. So I vote for the poem or the lips or both ![]() Parker |
