she fell over her arm tripped on it actually and marveled to see her foot stay behind as well she struggled to right herself but the proceeding unbalanced stumble only served to jar another limb and next I think was her other arm because she couldn't seem to catch the falling pieces nor herself as she repeatedly hit rock bottom she never saw them go, but her ears must have been next cause she couldn't hear the offers for help and she couldn't bear to hear herself think and last as she sat with no arms and no legs (and no ears) and cried because she still had her eyes must have been her heart the swelling in her chest just didn't leave room for it any more [This message has been edited by Corazon (edited 06-19-2000).] |

well have you ever heard the saying "a poet by any other name is a poet just the same?" *very expectant waiting for an answer look* lol ok I just made that up, but no do not feel remiss in missing this, and the temple one, they have never worn the name of Corazon before, were written in a dark time of my life when I needed a different pen name to hide behind...was even hard to go and dig them up, but I write best when my heart is breaking, so I knew these would probably be good ones to put the shovel to ...thanks |

she still had her eyes must have been her heart the swelling in her chest just didn't leave room for it any more .... Names sound different, but heart ache in any word formation sing the same sad song.... Corazon, this is great piece of work, thanks for sharinga nd thanks for submitting...I am gladdened by the fact that you no longer feel the need to hide behind past shadows... regards, sudhir |

this is a VIVID display of the pain she feels. Well done C, well done indeed "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

This feels incredibly real, and that's what makes it so strong. I like this alot. Ryan I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. —Jack Kerouac |

It has been said before, but I say it anyway this is very powerful and yes "WOA" The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
