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. |
