Snore or Roar Is it snore or resinous roar? That gnaws the inners of my core That rakes the embers of its dwell That opens up the door of hell. Ghosts of crass upheavals cast Phantoms heaving up the past Thunder bellowing through the hall Full of anger full of gall Up from doldrums rookery Bowling down periphery Hydra of my ID’s abide Swarming o’er the haunts of hide. The reflux of an acid sin A burning grim that stays within The clothing gone that had its charm And all that’s left is naked harm. There are no angels born this world We all grow up a little soiled. |

Up from doldrums rookery Bowling down periphery Hydra of my ID's abide Swarming o'er the haunts of hide. The reflux of an acid sin A burning grim that stays within The clothing gone that had its charm And all that's left is naked harm. There are no angels born this world We all grow up a little soiled. ================================== oh man!!! YOU DO KNOW how damn COOL this is, right? *shaking me head at you* Randy is in rare form in this Sy-babers and this rocks.... I am so digging the vocabulary and phrasing in this... "doldrums rookery" "Bowling periphery" "Hydra of my ID's abide" "The reflux of an acid sin" "The clothing gone that had its charm And all that's left is naked harm." Only you and Randy could turn the page, rage the stage,break out of the cage and reset the gauge with such clever rhymes!!! I love the yin and yang of it all... and those closing couplets...just take away my words. Very very cool Rant Stinkylove... tell Randy hes oh so dandy ![]() ![]() *winkiewinkie* ![]() ![]() |

JM, Randy dandy sends his love and said not to worry about the dove. WE were at each other the other day and this is the result. He keeps me on my toes and tickles my nose and often fakes he's indespose. But he does fly me when I ask so I can't be too mad. Your comment was a work of art. Winkiewikie Randy Stinky. ![]() ![]() |

Seymour darling boy, it seems your soul needs a little soothing today, as always of course the style and internal rhythm are excellent. The content is powerful and well written, you never write anything that isn’t always perfect. Now about the soothing of your soul, I’m ever willing to stroke your soul darling boy, and I’m sure I’d enjoy it enormously. Wouldn’t I fit in well in a harem, don’t you wish you had one? As always you are a superb writer and I’m always awed by the clarity of the images you manage to draw within my mind. Fabulous writing I love it utterly utterly Don’t rage against the fated way Flow into life and live each day Take from your soul each single taste Give yourself to living life’s race Don’t face your days filled with pain Remember love answers truths name With hope by your side you’ll prevail And life won’t be a long travail Don’t let your fears hold you back In time you’ll find the will you lack You have to give yourself a chance To enjoy life’s sprightly dance This really is utterly utterly excellent writing Love and warm stuff As always Mushy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the eathquake wind and fire Oh [This message has been edited by Marsha (06-13-2002 11:46 AM).] |

Seymour darling boy no you’ve not neglected me, if anyone has been neglected it’s me neglecting you, I’ll make up for it later wicked grin. Nancy he has a harem of course he has. And if you’ve very good I’ll plead for your admittance, but the entrance requirements are very stringent, I only got in because I cheated. I used charm and wine always useful in these circumstances. It is honestly a fabulous piece of writing I love it xx As always Mushy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Breathe through the heat of our desire |
