Weaved my mistakes into a basket with holes Releasing river of dreams searching endlessly for an ocean, I’m lost please Mountain edges of lies, all I could have said, still unknown Intense beauty without pain relief. Memories full of laughter Across dark waters, somewhere in the Here After Among lost children’s chatter Followed my regret to rooms without floors Entered my sorrow through broken doors I can’t exit my mind; I just want a view through a window. Fell out of love without a parachute Freefalling in open arms of the sky, all the years I’ve crashed through. Pile my words away somewhere safe Separate them in a wide-open space They only long to be accepted in a deeper place. Pictures in words, emotions I draw A rainbow imprisoned within the thunder of a waterfall. Monsoon of the soul The eye of the storm watches, it knows All I ever dreamed All I never seen All I’ll forever bleed. Shallow waters of my heart drown in tears from the deep lakes of my mind Stabbed my own good intentions with wasted time. Sometimes here, always there, forever far off somewhere, Promises in the wind, prayers in the dark, watering eyes bedside in a hospital holding everything they can’t even bare, All that they’ll never share. Thoughts never said Years that fed all regret Feelings without words and what they all meant. I know, now, what haunts me Poison of my own mind, unrelenting Captured these thoughts on paper, prisoners in words, the meaning escaping This Blue Rose grew in my garden of regret, have it please No flowers blossom here except this, blooming in a rainy breeze Growing from every single memory I’ll lay it here with you, in your garden bed, while it’s still sprinkling For hugs I never gave, all my tears still straining. Everything breaking deep inside With a Blue Rose in your hair meet me there,just smile, in the darkness I’ll watch it shine, The tears finally fall from my face, my absent strength they’ll never find They all know, I already miss you all the time. -Xerxes [This message has been edited by xerxes (08-31-2002 05:07 PM).] |

Well done!  --Beth Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping. |
