--- Heaven's Treat --- If you gazed upon a pastry, That looked like Heaven's treat, If you were very certain, That pastry would be sweet. If you raised this pastry To your eager, lusting lips And took but a single bite That made you turn quite sick. Would you taste this pastry Upon the second sight Would you raise it to your lips And take another bite? If you bit a second time And fell gravely ill again Would you keep on tasting? Like you do with men. No one ever listened themselves into trouble. [This message has been edited by The Lonely Stranger (edited 11-06-2001).] |

Oh my gosh does this poem ever get me thinking. Actually, I am trying to cut back.  Very powerful. A masterpiece. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Enchantress, amigo and Startime ... Thanks for the compliment, That poem came to me in a rush. Peculiar how that happens sometimes. Lone Wolf ... EXACTLY the response I had hoped for. Midnitesun & The Lady of Shallot ... May life stay wonderful for you. I wouldn't wish life on this side of my little work on anyone. RSWells ... If it's the riot you seek We here wish you well. But come not to us crying When they put ye through hell. :^) No one ever listened themselves into trouble. [This message has been edited by The Lonely Stranger (edited 11-09-2001).] |
