Two lost souls, inexplainably collided Neither seeking what couldn't be found We danced precariously on the edge of madness Our hearts inconstant, Desire bound White lie and fallacy snaked evil threads Through the tapestry of our affair Keeping constant, guesses and doubts The basis of feelings we shared Yet, as days and weeks turned to seasons and years Fallacy's thread unwound You captured a piece of this rime colored heart Denying me lonliness bound Now, Woe is me!!! In maturity's wake Damning reality's sobering cry I carve your hands from around my heart And kiss you.. a final good-bye Sheila [This message has been edited by firecrakker (edited 11-26-2000).] |

I liked this one a lot. The last few lines were awesome. keep it up! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

You captured a piece of this rime colored heart Denying me lonliness bound Now, Woe is me!!! In maturity's wake Damning reality's sobering cry Very well expressed! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

What a cracker! Reminds me of medieval, romantic, tragic poetry(...and a lot of a finally broken relationship in my life). Your words embrace the vulnerability of a broken heart and your poem expresses so well, what you often only realize looking back. The last two lines are very strong. The bitterness and disappointment of that last kiss lingers. Great piece! Bee. |
