~Cactus~ I'm like a cactus when you are around, planted and rooted deep in the ground. All thorny and spiked and protected, a shield to a heart you've affected. Blowing sand in your angry eyes, for all the times you ignored my pleaing cries. In this dry desert heat...... this time I won't be beat. I am in a world in which you can't live, I'm thirsty for a love you can't give. Lifeless land surrounding...... echoes of your hatred pounding. Sun so strong it's blinding, a life without you I am finding. Heat on your back, blistering your skin, This time,....I won't let you win!!! *This is a bit elementary (the language) but hey ,...you know?...Some days it's just like that for ya. |

SpitFire~ Well, aren't we feeling 'prickly' tonight? LOL !  I liked the 'elementary' elements. Don't EVER apologize for your poetry, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Spitfire~ WOW...don't apologize my friend, thats what poetry is all about. Everyone has different styles and different ways of expressing their feelings and thats what you've done here. I say go for it, keep it up Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |
