I'm not sure if it's true, But I want you to believe Knives are only for spreading butter or jam. The girl you first kiss will also be the one who kisses you last. All our angry words are sledgehammers rotting from handle to head In some forgotten junkyard. I want you to believe Stars are more than just burning gas. Drugs and abuse don't have to depress you. Flowers are more important than money. I want you to think Clouds are our soul's currency. Rain is not god crying. Love doesn't leave at your dying. I want you to try To see the world through a lens of dreams, Never looking too hard for the supporting beams That, when fallen, disintegrate to thin-lined seams. I'm not sure if it's true, But I want you to know Happiness does not mean you always have to smile. Even pain can be warming comfort for a little while. There are more people out there than numbers you can dial. |

I hope you believe ... reading your poems-- helps get me thru.  ****** love this one BSQ... written with your kind and wise heart later-poetfriend-gator There are places inside our souls ... that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts ... that need to be loved this much. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ...

S'en, Of course that makes me happy.  I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. Here's the humor of your friend almost committing suicide: you get some achingly beautiful poetry out of it. I'd rather smile than cry. Glad this poem can do the same for you.Mike |
