Had I not been her center had I not grown her moan nor quite so oft frequent her I'd feel far less alone. Were she less complimenter less too my comfort zone or mistress to my emperor I'd simply her dethrone. But I did not invent her So I could not disown, for it was no indenture our words not carved in stone. Off the fates had sent her on fickle winds she's blown, admit that I lament her, let's call this our tombstone. |

I have a theory - want to hear it? Okay! Never admit mistakes, look back, or have regrets, only turn them into lessons and never do a dumb thing or repeat something unpleasant again! But through the sadness and lonliness of this poem I think that is what you were saying too? No? Well it was a great poem! ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |

RSWells... this speaks as if written with the heart. Sometimes it is far to easy to assign poetry to reality, and as readers, we fall into the trap of saying "this must have happened to him/her, etc." Suffice to say...this is an excellent read, and the imagery comes through loud and clear with your excellent use of your chosen words. What I am trying to say is, I wish I had written this. |

Free-spirits are not to be contained; rather, enjoyed and remembered, albeit at times with a tinge of bitterness... Powerfully thought-provoking. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
