It's not that I can't finish this on my own it's just that I don't want to. I want you to help me. Add a verse to this start.....c'mon let me see what you can do! LOST IN SIGHT I found you in a sea so dark and deep lost in shadows of night thrills. I could see that as you gathered grief you were headed for a spill. Your eyes were jaded emeralds harsh from fears you tried to hide. But I knew inside that soul gone stark was a heart I could revive. The nights were timeless hiding truth in the vacant rooms of gold. And in the street sense ways of youth you'd let your values go. Lost in a nightlife trading worth where a lovelight never burns You stood with souls of bitter work to feel the worst you'd learned and............................. The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

But you took me in and held my hand, let me cry till the fear and hurt faded. Healing my heart with your kind understand now I see the light in you...these eyes no longer jaded. |

A lifeline thrown across your path Though there, not always seen Take comfort in the simple fact I'm here, beyond the green. [This message has been edited by Packratmike (edited 03-25-2001).] |

Out of the stories, laced strongly with pain; Deep in the hopes long denied, Into the night as we talked the wee hours ... Cleansing her soul as she cried. |

Unleash the sorrow of the soul In the burrow of the night Strong are the arms to hold another Until the dawn makes light |

And because I'm not going insane, but bitter still, hollow inside you learned to trust and then I came along to give you pride to learn the ways of selfish men  Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

I passed on this one, I just read and enjoyed. My muse seems to be in an immobile state today. Kathleen Blake |

Lost in a nightlife trading worth where a lovelight never burns You stood with souls of bitter work to feel the worst you'd learned and it was there I sought you out, my dear where your grief was spent and bare in the light of nevermore, you thought to hide away in the right of one's pure love, you gave to me my say so take my hand, as 'tis mine to give and trust in me, that we both shall live, come now, my dear, and harbor in me, that which you might call, sweet tranquility... |
