We met each other today It was to be a joyous occasion You avoided my eyes, preferring to stare at the cigarette in your hand instead Perhaps i shouldnt have been so happy after all |

The eyes will always give it away, won't they. You give just enough detail to give depth while still holding to a minimalist style. Excellent! To capture and live a moment is truly living |

Kaile~ The joy is in giving ... It doesn't always shine in another's eyes. But happy can't be taken away, as it is a gift we give ourselves. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Diminished Friendship Sequel: Email Poison My dispirited eyes lit up A fresh sugary surge of energy welled up my body Why, you never bothered to reply my mails A mail from you is sweet treasure indeed Hell, my hand even shook when i opened your message Oh, what a delightful surprise in wait for me! It shook even harder when the downcast eyes read: I have a favour to ask You will help, wont you A puppet, i am, waiting for its master to dangle the strings so that it may dance a bit [This message has been edited by kaile (edited 12-01-2000).] |

Kaile, Powerful poetry indeed, Great expectations dashed, new hope in the mail (along with the check), dashed again, an emotional rollercoaster, foder for touching poetry.You write from the heart well my friend.

You know I love your short, powerful way of writing, and this is no exception. All the feel is there, and so well written. With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |

The only thing that would hurt more is when someone is glancing at their wristwatch and you know....you just know. Enjoyed this, short and to the point and said so much. What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

Kaile, seems as if somehow your friendship with this person has some gap in between. Could it be you haven't met in a long time, and now both of you have changed? _,,,^.^,,,_ |
