Was it Worth the Trip? |

The amazement of love < !signature-->is a fantasy come true a mystic wonderland a castle in the sky they say love is blind why would one jump from a parachute made of wishes? love can fool the heart misunderstanding whispers in the still of the dark in the darkness far beyond love can soar in the galaxy of a land never explored before love can make you feel it wasnt worth the trip a waste of precious time when you fall and slip upon the grape of the night brusing your heart until the next time the lullaby of love sings sweetly upon your soul..to the ballet tip toeing across the blindfold of your eyes A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 12-19-2000).] |

The amazement of love is a fantasy come true a mystic wonderland a castle in the sky they say love is blind why would one jump from a parachute made of wishes? ------------------------ Wonderful opening... it drew me in from there on... much truth in this.. "Why would one jump from a parachute made of wishes?" Thats a powerful question and one I've asked myself many times (not in those words of course  ) I really enjoyed reading this.--Cassandra |

"love can make you feel it wasnt worth the trip a waste of precious time" Smiles for this. Reminded me of one my favorites poet/songwriters, Bob Dylan: "I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind. You could have done better, but I don't mind. You just sorta wasted up my precious time. But don't think twice, it's all right." And good morning to you, Victoria! Thank you for the smile on my face! |

Sometimes its better not to look back - but when it creates such poetry - I must say I'm glad you did! |

Very nice and intelligent poetry here....I feel that sometimes it's worth the trip and sometimes it ain't but there's someone for everybody so I guess we have to keep trying! Nathan |

I guess in the end if you don't take the trip you won't be able reach your destination! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Love is an adventure...like snow skiing or scuba diving...if you make it back in one piece you are happy if you fall and break your leg you wonder if its worth it or if you get the bends you suffer the consequences...enjoy yourself but beware of the hazards...James |

This is a thoughtful read and a wonderful write....good expression of how things are...but I believe it's worth the trip, no matter how it turns out in the end Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |
