did you ever really want my words? you know that there was a time that they were all for you words of sapphire blue and auburn red flowing from the heart of a poet from the soul of a man in love and at the beginning, you loved my words they filled your days with gentle breezes and calmed the loneliness of your nights you waited with tenderness of spirit for the words that I would write of you for the tales that I would tell of our love but soon, you grew tired of my pen’s words and you no longer shared words of your own the anger that blotted out your soul separately covered my own in midnight black as well and my pen lay quiet upon the scroll of my life never to be written upon in this life again and yes, it’s true that I fought the darkness and that I was fooled into thinking I had found another light to shine through my life but, that light was false, and lasted only a moment that moment was enough, however, to show all to show that there was nothing left of our life how different it might have been fellow one if you had taken my words then as you did back then but alas, those moments are gone for both of us and all that remained were wishes in the dark and a pen that perhaps should have written them ------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Aha, I see you hiding over here in the shadows. This is quite special, and heartaching in its search for undertanding. Excellent poem, sir. Sandra |

AAAAh Sven, I too see your hiding or retreating into the darkness, in a state of confusion and pain. But know this my friend, there are many lights in the darkness, many forms of love hiding in the darkness. Though this one failed, sadly so. Look around and see all the lights flickering in the darkness for you now, your friends and your loved ones. You are not in complete darkness, from where I sit, I see you and see the many constellations of light in your life currently. Embrace those, for each of them, every single one is better than none. *hugs* Isis *The greatest warrior is one that does not need to fight* ~Isis~ |

Sven, sometimes love hurts. Beautifully penned. You take time to mend that heart of yours because there is someone out there who will take proper care of it. "Here I am in prison,here I am with a ball and chain There is whiskey in the jar-o" Traditional irish song. |

Though that pen lay in the darkness at this point, it shall again shine in the light. Your pen has always tooled a verse that touches the soul. Well written my friend. Marilyn |

Some don't realize the damage, and by the time they try....the attempt to "fix" it becomes forced. *sigh* I had to get out...before anger took over too much of the territory..so I know where this comes from in your life. Just archiving, John...just archiving. You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL |
