The See Saw Effect I feel as if I'm sitting on a see saw there's no balance in my life My head doesn't understand anything, my heart is upset by strife If I knew what I was doing I'd have steered well clear of you But my heart wasn't looking and it all happened before I knew One moment I was coasting along taking the time to look around The next minute I was struck dumb by the mystery of loves pure sound I've always been someone who plays the rules of honest integrity I've never been a cheater but oh I've had plenty of lies told to me You leave me so confused, I don't know just why I'm doing this And then I remember it's in the magic and the taste of your hot kiss You say that you love me, and I'm living there within your heart Oh why couldn't I have walked away before love had began to start You build me up with love saying that I'm forever on your mind And then just as suddenly it's like I'm far too hard for you to find You buy me presents and little gifts to say that for me you do care And then before I can turn to kiss you you're suddenly not there You leave my heart alone for lonely nights waiting for your call Then when I've decided that's enough it's then you give me your all I decide that I'm worth more than waiting in the shadows of time And that under this relationship I'm going to draw my final line You pick me up and spin me around and get me giddy once again Oh what is the matter with me, what did I do to deserve this pain I'd be willing to walk through fire if that's what you wanted of me But this endless waiting and hoping is this truly my fated destiny Please I ask, won't you share your vision of our future with me I don't ask for a lifetime of commitment I just need some clarity I need to know where I'm going and whether I'll be staying today My heart needs some instructions before she loses her own way Confusion is delightful if it last for a moment or at the most two But I'm left constantly lost and seeking but never finding you Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Well cowboy was born confused so I know this feeling well and it can get to be more than a little crazy at times. I hope that you find the way to that state of stability soon. Wonderful write my friend and president. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Firstly I'm sorry it's taken me a couple of days to get back to this but I've actually been putting it off. What's that saying procrastination is the thief of time, and I don't know why I have been really. But I could lie and say I've not had the time, except that I could have found it if I really wanted too. Anyway I'm sorry. Jimmy, I know you're right, I blame it on the time of year, it always makes me a little jumpy. I mean I love the actual day, but all the getting ready and stuff, it just seems as if the world goes mad. And everyone seems to forget the real meaning of it all. Anyway thank you truly Take care Happy Christmas Mushy Pepper, thank you love I do appreciate it, I truly do. Take care Merry Christmas Mushy Mark my dear friend, thank you muchly, I'm fine, truly I am. It's as I said before it's this time of year, and I think I'm a little more weary than usual. So I let the doubting monsters in and they are so good at sowing the seeds of mistrust. But I've shaken them all out of my head and I'll be fine. Love is life, and life is love. And that's exactly what I shall hold on too. Take care kid Merry Christmas Mushy Cassandra, why thank you love, you are far too sweet to me. You really are, there are so many utterly wonderful poets here, any number of them who could give you a beau ideal to aim for. Although I would say you have talent in abundance truly. As long as you write how you feel then there is nothing to stop you. Take care of yourself, enjoy the poems and most of all keep faith with your heart. Take care have a wonderful Christmas Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
