I can no longer live pretense the writing glares at me from wall silent in its reckoning a scream of heart--eight foot tall. I see the truth in this cold stone, and crave the hand that held the brush... tracing words I do not own as close I'll ever be to touch... I stand here in my reverie slumbering, recalling dream... (as if I do not dream enough) and wroth am I to wake abrupt but even blinded by my tears the silent words assaults my ears-- words I know I'll not forget words of eternal love's regret. He once stood where I now stand and painted brick to ease his pain crushed by stone of understand I replied him just as plain by blood of heart in my own hand-- "Never will I love again." |

Spraying across another endless night of fantasy slumber as we once again meet in the wee hours of the day. Superb penning as always. I have seen the writing on the wall many times but I don't think any of them did it so artistically. |

I do thank you all. Sometimes the writing on the wall is much more clear than the feelings in your heart. So thanks for the understanding, and HUGS TO FORUM. |
