I used to think it was because of the words that I was great, now I look back and only see the tears I cried within the words. simple attrition one by one the shadows fall worn away by tears and time scattered leaves that float away withered and past their prime heart full of aching memories images burned in my mind carried off on a fiery wind searing heat to make me blind it's simple attrition, one by one a reckless attempt to come undone playing a game that no one has won it's simple attrition, one by one from the lustful desires of a fading fall lonely hearts seek a respite from it all so they reach out and grab at the first little sign but its only a twig instead of a vine it's simple attrition, two by two something you say, something you do close your eyes and wish your dreams come true it's simple attrition, two by two sometimes it's the game that makes you fade others it's the way of life but for me, I fade because my time is gone and I'm fading, fading, into the wild blue as a final goodbye, thanks for being there. your words and silence were the chords that kept me together. just because I'm leaving, doesn't mean you aren't my friends any longer. if you see me, drop a line. People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. --Soren Kierkegaard |

des.....I will miss reading your words. Though we did not know eachother well, you became a part of a family I do charish. Enjoy the minutes and let the hours take care of themselves. Write to purge your soul and cleanse your thoughts. Hold on to your friends for in the end they are all that really matter. |

As I read your poem, I was thinking how great it was to see your work again... so my spirits plunged as I read the ending. I wish you the very best, des... for that's what you've consistently given us. |

I'm hoping that all here is poetry, my friend...and only poetry. I sense you're dealing with yourself these days. I wish you the best in that. The poem...What can I say. Its honest and rawly you. I've gotten the chance to watch your writing grow deeper and deeper over the past few years. (((HUGS))) (@)----->X1,000,000 m'friend.  |
