Apart from me you wondered, only but a second it took, for a fake rose to offered her costly heart. You returned with guilty hands. All the time turning your head, hiding your knowing eyes. With your life you do deny. But your gaze, it cannot lie. It cannot hide all the pain, that her thorns inflicted in them. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

It cannot hide all the pain, that her thorns inflicted in them. =============== what a very cool poem!!! i love this cryptic "little" poem of impact so much imagery and emotion spoken in so few well chosen words. succinct and perfect in its use of metaphor very very cool poem walker As sure as God made wine you can't wrap your arms around a memory In the dark for me youre the candle flame that flickers to life ~Mission UK~ |

'But your gaze, it cannot lie.' Yes, very good write on such a subject, walker! I did enjoy this! sp  everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips... every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips... |
