not quite alive not quite dead and a simple sonnet echoes.... and there are things to do today and I don't care if they get done a lovely tone bewitches me I'd love to smoke but I won't roll... I'm in thirst and can't believe nothing wet will ever please and memories roll like dice across the table craps a game-- make you think twice and still to bet for a parlay come line and you roll... I wish the whistles bells would stop excitement in this dream of mine-- MAKE IT ALL--- oh make it stop... and give me cotton candied dreams for want of silence beg of scream silent whistles quiet dreams |

"and memories roll like dice across the table" LOVED THAT! To capture and live a moment is truly living |

Really enjoyed this one, can identify so well with it...and the one comment in particular...Why can't we live in poetry land? Wouldn't it be wonderful! I wish I could make my living there, then I could be there all the time instead of 'too much of the time.' ;o} You have some really exquisite lines in this piece, fresh, original, yet familiar because they're so 'right on!' |

THIS....is so good.... speaks my mind... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

If I could find a quiet dream myself then I would be more than happy to share it with you my friend. I will try to tiptoe a little quieter across your heart though if it would help. Hugs my sweet friend. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

I am over here giggling with the flu...ROFL...my sick butt off. Coco...I had completely forgotten about this one...and there you go again, digging through the back scroll...and I'm like, "huh?" and what's the first words I read? Not quite alive not quite dead... oh man..sometimes my life is just too rich in irony...but thank you much everybody, and especially the diligent coco, you made me smile pretty on a blah day! |
