Lie beside the Lie I took what dreams may come And you, what you needn’t see My heart allowed a window And you, let yours run free Each night we reveal Our innermost desires A promise of a future But all of you, is what I require A question of truth In a bizarre situation Whose right, the heart or the head With the body giving into temptation So tell me, what I need know How can there be a “We”? And do you lie beside the lie Or does she? Marina June 2000 |

Marina, Wonderful expression here. So many questions you have....I hope the answers are revealed to you. Funny that at times you think you know someone, only to find out later that they misrepresented themselves. Truly the lowest of the low. I am sure your questions will be answered. Great writing.

Marina, I like this one very much. I actually got a feeling similar to a poem I submitted, "She & Her". If you get a chance, check it out and let me know ![]() Best wishes, Poetaster D |

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me...

I found myself in amazement at this.....It is really good. Love the line.. And do you lie beside the lie Or does she? Excellent It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. |

This actually 'cuts like a knife'. Sceptic truth, disturbing question, fine poetry. Marina, this one is truly a good one ... Take Care, regards, sudhir Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

~~Marina, nice writing. Your work is never disappointing. Lots of emotion and soulful expression. A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

Marina very well written but I must admit I don't understand the presentation...are you having an affair with a married man? Silly me..for asking...Made me think about this...I don't want only half of you...all of you is what I require...cause half a glass of wine could never quench my thirst..it would only wet my desire......
