oh he thinks I weep for me selfish tears of self pity oh I think I am relieved he recognizes that I creep reaching for the brass ring tall... he believes me filled with greed and hides his soul away-- he deceives himself, I think-- I simply can't conceive the thought of why, oh why, must there be fall? Watch me Mom--watch me do THIS I just ache wanting to reach (but I can't be everything) and ask him oh-so-pleadingly-- can't you do one thing for me? Take three steps upon the board with no worry of afford ache your back in bend of woe cutting hands in prayerfullness of all? Blue water bubbles--close your eyes-- press your lips together tight exhale only what you must and glory in descent of fall silk of sorry aftermath baptismal--of bubble-bath and touch the bottom everlast and let the rise take me to top--- new year's ball dropping obverse. a lone shark in a bad hazing-- counting on my lungs in burst Louie Armstrong's cheeks of pride before I break this pony ride tie my tongue before she lies in vow of constancy, I'll die. bowing now my humble head daily or just? not at all... Either way, yanno I'm dead... listen--- as I sing "last call..." [This message has been edited by serenity blaze (03-10-2003 09:14 PM).] |

Last call, flip..Now where would we be without your words and your floating soul to make us breathless with your flowing pen? Nicely done as always, gentle one...very gentle smile |
