You send shivers up my spine When each and every time You lay touch upon my heart How's the smile you’re wearing Is it so gently tearing Your façade of life apart My paint on face is flaking My brow is always aching From your love to dig right in My disguise burns away You despise yet turn to say The party may now begin I run and hide in corner A man dons mask as mourner So I plead no tears for me He jumps and turns around Now evil grin is found Two sides of his mask I see The room resounds of peals "May my lover be revealed So that I may have a chance" The room gave way to me Your look once set me free Now I must give in and dance The tears seen through the paint This dance has bitter taint That you wished to keep unknown The feelings that you’ve had That you are also sad Now you see you're not alone [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 12-20-2000).] |

Walt~ It is so good to see you stretching ... 'You lay touch upon my heart' more and more with your writing. Such variety is to be admired - and so I do. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

My paint on face is flaking My brow is always aching From your love to dig right in My disguise burns away You despise yet turn to say The party may now begin These lines say so much Walty loved it my dear Maree "If my words could blanket the skies and fill every corner and crevice of this earth, still this wouldn't be enough" "Maree Russo" |

Hey Walt I agree with them ...this is a sad one. However the emotion falls into the beauty of some sadness, I hope I don't sound redundant with that statement...keep the chin up my man I always enjoy your stuff!! |
