All my sins remembered
In my not so forgotten past
Are still creating the illusions
That are too magical to last
Reality will only look away
Before returning to expose the truth
Of the aging fabrications
Created in misspent youth
My story has lost its luster
It’s been told one too many times
Secrets spill from between the lines
Of these oft repeated rhymes
If you look closer at my disguise
Where the cracks are beginning to show
Hidden in the questions that spill from your lips
Are the answers you already know
So be careful of what you ask for
You never know what you will get
If you think you’ve figured this “rascal” out
You ain’t seen nothing yet!

(sigh) I can see where this thought is coming from, sweet friend, it involves a lot of our own observations to purify all the sins deep inside us, and when we wish for something, it should be something within reason and unselfishness for our own actions! (big hugggssssss) This is powerful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeffrey, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Bump.
back with a reply laters.

But you should know I love it without my having to go into detail.

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

I like the twist at the end of this, Jeff.  No matter how you try to hide it, your personality always comes through in your writing.
