I’ll never forsake the level of disappearance as we fell... I controlled the contents of ecstasy I longed to express instead of withholding the softly treading peak... I blocked your view when possible, denying the end... the rambling rain served as reminder of high tide diminishing... I recall the shade of our behavior when we connected... I’d memorized the sheen of your skin radiating toward me as I staggered down the conveying sidewalk... I invented suspending phrases, putting off the inescapable... but the ever-redundant verse loomed as notification of the waning moments... I remember the look in your eyes when I had to set out... I’ll never be free of the imprint you branded into me as I halfheartedly proceeded toward my obligation... I held firmly to my half of the dream, pretending it was yours... the faithfully worn necklace hung in apprehension of leaving the saline atmosphere... I’ll keep close the gravity of altitude with which I was familiarized... I’ll never come down from that low-flying cloud you gave me as I attentively rely on your diligence... we’ll hold firmly to the whole dream, achieving that reality... our faithfully worn vows will hang in anticipation of our timeless dwelling among the sheer surroundings... -kh 06/20/01 I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why |

Suetang: thanks so much...glad you liked it! Logan: yep...I'm learning that quite well...thanks for reading! JM: hey you...thanks so much for your compliments...you know they mean a lot to me...but, as you know, I do my best to stay away from cliche...not that cliche is always bad, but I don't think I'd be very successful if I used it, hence my staying away from it!! too much info...thought so...hehe cpat hair: well thank you so much...I am happy you liked this! sp I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why |
