He tasted of beer many nights there was nothing left but the residue of bitter hops sour grain-and very lttle love. He tasted of cigarettes many nights there was nothing left but the residue of embers dusty ash-and very little love. He tasted of stale coffee many nights there was nothing left but cheap dreams unfulfilled hopes-and very litte love. He tasted of meat burgers which represented death to me (a vegetarian,non smoker, repelled by beer) but he also tasted of lust many nights thats all there was fierce, hot gasping for air passion and very little love. I tasted of the champagne he poured into me that I might live within his frame of reference and I absorbed it for a short time flew sideways into his unusual space. He gave me little only joy of country music and rough nights and the ability to see the sparkle behind hardened eyes Very little love-but at the time it was enough.. I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind-I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time. (3 Doors Down) [This message has been edited by catalinamoon (edited 12-04-2001).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Sandra, I'm so so sorry to hear this; this breaks my heart to see the vision of the love you thought you knew, feeling the sorrow of your heart. (big hugggsssss) My heart is always with you, sweet friend, and I know deep down there is a true love meant for you so heavenly and so pure, which is sweet and compassionate to your heart. (sigh) Such a sad and heartwrenching reminiscence! I love you, sweet friend, and I believe in you always! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sandra, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Sandra, So sad, but beautifully penned. Sometimes even the smallest of things, have to be enough... Love, Elise |

Sandra this piece just aches to be picked up and held. There are times when very little love...is enough. But! Oh so much more is out there waiting! ~hugs to you sweetie, Nancy~ "A dream is a wish your heart makes..." |

sometimes, we do only get what we need. . . from the heart. . . --------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Made me wonder why sometimes we settle for so much less than we truly want. This guy sounds like he was a real 'stinker'. Great write, Sandra. |

I know this type of wrong guy. Really messes with your heart. So sad we let them. But sure makes us appreciate the real thing. This was written with excellence Sandra. Stirred up a lot of memories. Hang in there sweetie. Some guy's gonna have 31 really nice flavors for you to choose from! Hugs! Sincerely, Regina |

(grin) heavy tunes in the write lady....I feel the sorrow and the hope that the good stuff was just around the corner.. |
