Crepe of Skin {But Music Holds Me} long gone are the days of toned sweet skin now are the days of the oncoming today, December 12 yes, I am a Sagittarius, and I enter the final year of my fourth decade and my mirror says "you've never looked so real" and that is how I feel I knew I was old before I was ever young so I think I may now become unstrung always as a child treated older an adult in child's crinoline never again and folks? I love you, still, you left me far too young with unanswered questions on my tongue although you left me with gifts love of music love of life love of love not necessarily in that order love of life love of music love of love and my brother loves his acoustics for he loves his music and my sister has love of life and I have love of love and love of music and I love my crepe of skin it brings me in to what I am ~ * ~ I am a thought in your heart a warmer part in the soul of your dream, and surrender yourself to the moonbeam for the night of dream so you might hear the key to the music of the twilight's scene and not miss a note of this beautiful dream not a one & now dream somehow of sunlight bright, white taking away the night to show the crepe of skin showing age but somehow you do not careā¦.and for that I can say thank you kind one, for I shall grow old and you shall grow with me and I will love my music and you shall have the key to listen to my heart so openly so in awe of we so in awe of us so much of we long gone are those days of young so much so I am entranced of what will be more than I ever was before now I want more for all I want is your happiness and as you read this song of bliss know that you are here now in my kiss and in my crepe of skin In my crepe of skin you, Sir, have crept in please linger yes, a little longer and then a day one more Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

How does one leave a Balladeer speechless? By writing a poem like this one...what style you exhibit! What's the saying...not older..better? It certainly applies to you. Happy birthday, sunshine. |

Kari love, your bithday and you didn't tell me! H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y love, and have a great one. You're never be old love, never ever, I always think of you as Persephone, (you can look her up, and you'll know who I mean) Anyway what a fabulous piece to celebrate your birthday with. Stunning and supremely presented. (Kari, do you need a clue? Well, you probably don't but if you do....... then the clue is 'pomegranate' ) Take care Majestic Marsha Oh and I love it Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I am a thought in your heart a warmer part in the soul of your dream, and surrender yourself to the moonbeam for the night of dream so you might hear the key to the music of the twilight's scene and not miss a note of this beautiful dream not a one ================ another year wiser, another year more graceful, another year cooler ... this exceptional piece of poetry proves my point... Happy Birthday Sunshine ... may it be filled with poetry, music, and all that you hold dear. Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 12-12-2000).] |

'Deer, no one, NO ONE, should ever render you speechless...you're just being complimentary because I'm OLD today...and loving every minute of it...thank you SO much... Thank you many times over PdV...it's been a most wonderful day...for hundreds of reasons...the music shall never end... Serenity! Yes, you ARE...thank you... Marsha, you tease...I'm still trying to figure out how Hades and Persephone and me all go together...O wait...nah, can't be that...well, I'll hop over to my other window and continue reading up on her...hugs YOU... Marge, I wear the music well? You bet I do little one!...and hopefully someday this Pied Piper will lead us on to better things... JM, look at you, putting in the star sign for me! I love it, thank you! I've decided to wear my Pollyanna suit more often, so get ready for some brilliant sunshine...and JM? It's going to be a VERY Good year... Sven, I think I've got all the hard stuff behind me...it's almost time to start coasting and having fun in this life...and get ready for the next plane... thank you all.. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I have to agree with Balladeer this one leaves me speechless!! What a beautiful poem of seasoned romance and love! The format is extremely clever! The reader is enabled to flow down through your thoughts so freely and .....those last parts are just incredible.. they made me feel all warm and happy...just great work Karilea!! |
