Cathy Mae acts a new way now she's acting bold she'd lie to know that young guy even though she's old. It's hard to swallow life prints when shaping time begins. Her mother's holy advice said she'd always get her man. She has no time fears but what is waiting for her? Never thought she'd be alone her bridges all burned. Love ain't no longer there. Love ain't no greying hair. Love ain't no wrinkled glare. Love ain't no drunked up stare. There's a coming up a party if the young man does respond, he'd like to take her out of there and fake her lovin on. He's been waiting for the prime time now he's mocking her. He'd like to leave her on her own after she's disturbed. She has those fine years but what is waiting for her? Never thought she'd be outdone with issues to learn. Love ain't no longer there. Love ain't no make-up flare. Love ain't no dressed up care. Love ain't past seasons bared. She must decide what it is that needs her concern. Who's gonna carry her through the waste that she'll earn? Will she know when to stop and see herself once more? Or will she keep on whirling across the bar room floors? She has those wine tears but what is it she will learn? Never thought she'd be alone four walls surrounding her. Love ain't no longer there. Love ain't no fancy fare. Love ain't no daydream prayers. Love ain't one night affairs. The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. [This message has been edited by ethome (edited 03-08-2001).] |

What a world of wisdom you've captured in the last two lines... and they are but the signature on a very well written work! *S* |
