What subtle torture What a pickle this is Can we be too obtuse With the words that we say Do we do it a'purpose Because we're afraid Afraid if we're clearer We'll drive them away We just keep circling Around and around Speaking in riddles Bound to confound Why is life so complex And why can't I just be direct I'd like to think its finally clear But I still see a puzzle here Someday, perhaps in this lifetime I'll say the words that make you mine Dispel the mystery forever I love you -- you know who you are < !signature--> Peppermint Life is a Wheel [This message has been edited by peppermint35 (edited 10-27-2000).] |

If you feel love for this person I would just go ahead and say it. You never know...of course I don't know the situation that you are in and there may be reasons but if it is felt it does hurt to have to hide it. I know this to be true. Wonderful write. |

I know who I am...what I dont know is if you are talking to me...and how can she/he if you dont just come right out and tell them? Knowing is better than hoping... [This message has been edited by Paula Finn (edited 10-27-2000).] |

Peppermint go for it, jump right on in and tell them exactly how you feel, only way to find out. Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

I was very clear and told a woman that I didn't want to live without her and she has been very clear in showing me she can live very well without me thank you...perhaps its nice to say what you feel but that does not guarantee success...James |

Beautiful thoughts to share with the one who's touched your heart Peppermint ... I hope you do let them know, life is too short to wonder if your love is returned. Very nicely written. Best wishes, /Kit |

'Because we're afraid Afraid if we're clearer We'll drive them away We just keep circling Around and around Speaking in riddles' Great poem, pepper! I can definitely relate to this one!! I just love your style, btw!! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Pepper, on one hand I say go for it, on the other hand I say wait until he indicates, on the other hand I say whoops I've run out of hands. Whatever you decide it was a fantastic poem! be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

I think people circle to protect themselves and to make sure the situation is in their control...until the time is 'right' - can be sensible or cowardly depending on the perspective...lol Good luck with whatever happens K"He looked across the silky surface of the Severn... it was a famously difficult river with fierce tides..."

if someone loves me I sure want to know it! This is a tough call though. Loved this one, made me think! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
