Caught up together in these bonds We neither fight nor resent their weight Lightly do they rest on our shoulders Steel is no stronger than these Fashioned with love, like silk they lie Holding our hearts, our souls interwoven We've been through the fire of pain Shared laughter and tears These bonds have passed all tests And still remain Bonds we have forged ourselves Bonds of love Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

'Caught up together in these bonds We neither fight nor resent their weight' peppermint, this is a great poem! I read another one of your poems about true friendship and loved it! This one is excellent, as well! Wonderful writing, my friend! sp  Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Beautiful. And you know, this is how I thought things were with myself and the men who has hurt me so much. Amazing how we can fool ourselves. Sorry to digress, this is a wonderful writing. |

even if I hadn't loved your poem - I would be glad I read for the chance to read ron's words - which compliment yours so well- had you two considered a duet? |
