The Tap of My cane Layers of my mind in flow Are the quick sands of my sew Silver pools of shining light That sucks me down into the night. Moments of my ghostly past That never ever really last That drains the nectar of my soul And blinds me to my very goal. They lay the road before my walk They curse my tongue with phantoms talk They never clear the mist away Or point to me the right of way. They screen the path of paradox Make my eyes see golden docks Fill my ears with mystic chime Eat the moments of my time I feel the darkness fill my mind And scream to heaven I am blind. |

Moments of my ghostly past And scream to heaven I am blind Yes, what a haunting picture you paint for us. I really feel this. What a beautiful way to start my day this morning. Thank you Tracey If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Layers of my mind in flow Are the quick sands of my sew Silver pools of shining light That sucks me down into the night. Moments of my ghostly past That never ever really last ===================================== They lay the road before my walk They curse my tongue with phantoms talk ================================ They screen the path of paradox Make my eyes see golden docks Fill my ears with mystic chime Eat the moments of my time I feel the darkness fill my mind And scream to heaven I am blind. ===================================== While I both understand and am touched by the dark depth of the intend of this... I just have to smile at you my sweet poet of cool ... for you, who daily writes with so much wisdom and vision to write of being blind .. NOW THERES the Paradox!!! there are some really awesome phrases and images in this dark beauty Sy-babes.... Layers of my mind in flow Are the quick sands of my sew Silver pools of shining light That sucks me down into the night. They lay the road before my walk They curse my tongue with phantoms talk Fill my ears with mystic chime Eat the moments of my time Now how much cooler can you be ... you just painted with your words...a scream we can hear across the miles of these pages. Save the cane for rapping Randy when hes too dandy...cuz you see just fine *winkiewinkie* me A man who asks a woman to lie for him, is a man who will lie to that woman. |

To tap the layers, mind of mine to reach and pool thine silver thoughts enriching nightfall, in it's glow 'tis mine, 'tis thee, thine words be caught. Blinded by thy morning words Lady Ollyne "O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: |
