"I am not the only one." I gathered whisper from the wind. "There are others--just like me..." I read a poem, sent from him. I followed trail of word--breadcrumbs-- to this place of promised sky. An orphan found her family-- found herself within their eyes. I gathered pens, with trembling hand, I prayed that "they" would understand. I'd hit "submit" with eyes shut tight-- I swore I'd write in font of LIE. But all of me, leaked through my ink. I wrote my love--I wrote my stink. I wrote in metaphor, for him. I had been dead--I lived again. I found a passion in myself-- a rope tempered by flame of Hell. I did not trust a soul at first. I feared the hurt of bubble's burst. And when, the bubble burst was him-- I was cradled by new friends. Sometimes? Pain in retrospect, obliviates the heart's regret. I did not know where path would lead-- a poem sent, was planted seed. I found a family of friends-- I learned to like myself again. I still love him-- sacred trust-- he taught me, we do what we must. |

Exactly! F'in perfect. F'orgive my response. Some need more than others. And some get it. Like we do, like we do not. god, I love this, I hate this...know...you get it. And don't. Forgetting all I'm lacking |

Now this is definitely one of your best! We are all glad you followed those breadcrumbs. And I'm sad that it took so long for us to 'connect'!  |

Two things: 1) You are a poetry goddess. Soooooo dripping with Serenity awesomenosity. 2) Don't you love how PdV does her smiles really wide? Mikey These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun. |

"I am not the only one." I gathered whisper from the wind. "There are others--just like me..." I read a poem, sent from him. I followed trail of word--breadcrumbs-- to this place of promised sky. An orphan found her family-- found herself within their eyes. ==================================== I swore I'd write in font of LIE. But all of me, leaked through my ink. I wrote my love--I wrote my stink. I wrote in metaphor, for him. I had been dead--I lived again. I found a passion in myself-- a rope tempered by flame of Hell. ==================================== Sometimes? Pain in retrospect, obliviates the heart's regret. I did not know where path would lead-- a poem sent, was planted seed. I found a family of friends-- I learned to like myself again. I still love him-- sacred trust-- he taught me, we do what we must. ===================================== Who could of known way back then ... when I was on the outside looking in. Lost and lonely, a moth in skin too thin, a muse searching for a place to begin again. There in between the lines from gifted pen .. twas in her bleed of rhymes I found me twin. ~~ (someone has to help clean these mirrors...might as well be you.)    |

Serenity You touched a place in me with the way you look, so honestly, the words made from pieces of glass, I see them reform in the grass. Loved this! |
