no hard fee lings in fact no feelings at all a) better detachment a) better way of living days from here i'll wake up numb and transparent the b e st bri ghtest way to c ea se to make sense if i had knees to pray _ i'd think of some other way if i had my own mind _ I'd lay false thoughts in your lap and watch them disapp ear and there are no answers in this head no answers a t all they make it so easy; they swear that she brightens up the room they swear that i'll run out of room and the blood that leaks from the walls will only be my own i willput it in this pen and write till i end ...until i end.. so overflowed at times with listening to myself -whine- and i cant let go of living with - out sound all i am is spread so far theres very little left to go around but the worlds a dirty business we all do dirty business and there will always be - more to go around- no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate |

RESOUNDING APPLAUSE imagine a big room echoing with it. and there are no answers in this head no answers a t all they make it so easy; they swear that she brightens up the room they swear that i'll run out of room and the blood that leaks from the walls will only be my own i willput it in this pen and write till i end ...until i end.. excellent K The wind shifts like this: Like a human without illusions... This is how the wind shifts: Like a human, heavy and heavy, Who does not care. W.S |

Hi Jackal, I must say that your poem really captured me from beginning to end, loved the style, the content, everything. Excellent! Maree "If my words could blanket the skies and fill every corner and crevice of this earth, still this won't be enough" "Maree Russo" |
