I Won't Be Your Dirty Secret ~*Marge Tindal*~ I won't be your dirty secret, spread across satin sheets of shame. I cannot be your lover of a shadowed night, lost in the light of her name. If I cannot hold your hand in the blazing sunlight of a kiss, strolling streets alive with the bustle of lovers, then I surely won't live like this. I will not wear your scarlet letter across the crest of my day. Do not ask. Please do not ask. Simply go away~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

oh, Marge. This one hit me hard. There's no greater feeling than feeling someone is proud of you, Can't find the right words for this one I don't know, have many mixed feelings about this one, many. < !signature--> "Every man dies.

Oh, Marge, this is a different tone for you and I so agree...Temptation is everywhere, to choose the road less traveled is pure wisdom. a moments pleasure is never worth a lifetime of shame.... Love, Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

DG~ I am pleased you enjoyed it. LadyLightning~ A very nice compliment you've given me. I thank you so much. James~ I hope that's a good 'connect'. Kathleen~ I had the TV on and heard a one-liner from a song - this is what jumped to the page. I love inspiration. Thanks for the reply. PoetdeVine~ LOL ! That's what I get for listening to the Academy Of Music Awards - INSPIRATION ! Thanks for a read. Ellie~ I think that much of what we write underscores our principals - this certainly does mine. Kit~ I believe in the wisdom to know myself first - and to try to figure out others later. I appreciate all you say. Doreen~ Very nice complimentary thoughts and I thank you. Integrity is where it's at. Marsha~ I am soaring on the breeze of sweet thoughts from you. Kethry~ Sorry 'bout the sneak attack ! LOL ! Thank you for the read. BloomingRose~ In JEST I say ... I don't mind being second-fiddle as long as someone plays me ! In life I say - Simply go away~ Thanks to each of you for your thoughts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
