Your idea of love is like an alabaster jar- not quite white and with a false impression of smoothness. You can't disguise the truth by painting pretty pictures of how you want to be seen on the outside. I know the inside, and that in the very pit of you hides clenched and rotten teeth, mumified and forever aching. Everything is perfect right now- all that's visible is hand painted roses on delicate jars. I bet it feels good to be so deceptive. But now I've got a little secret to share. Beauty fades and alabaster crumbles. Sooner or later even you will fall apart. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone |

(BIG HUGGGGGSSSSSS) Oh Angela, this is so sad but well-expressed, sweet friend, my heart cries out to you and the deception you've faced but I am also so proud you're staying true to your heart and I know with all my heart you will find all your heart desires and you will be very happy, for you deserve so much more! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, my thoughts are with you always! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Angela, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Seems you make your points with a firmness sometimes I can't get my hands on for my writing. I love this, and I love the comparisions that you make. Wraps up nicely. It has your usual strength, and I'm glad to see a post from you, Bee. For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me. |

Hello? Is there a reason why this is at the bottom somewhere? Good poetry should be recognized. "My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words |
