Heaven And Hell When I walk through the shadows of lost sighs I sometimes hear the wails of sobbing whys The touch of you lingers in that dark place Waiting to shadow my soul with your trace But I’ll never leave the path of hope’s light I won’t be going into sorrows night There is no chance I’ll see you face once more I’m tied to the future where truths not war When I hear your name as I sometimes do I wonder what I ever saw in you Your touch still taints the very heart of me Even now I feel your disloyalty I thank my lucky stars that love found me That the truth of love shines bright and clearly Love cascades over me I am made new And this I found when I was free of you When I feel the touch of pained memory I pull back feeling the sting burning me I’ll never forget sorrow that bled tears Or the pain of those heart shattering fears I’m only glad that love came back for me It lifted me into sweet ecstasy If love’s light hadn’t bathed me in delight I would’ve lost my soul to your dammed night When I feel the night closing in on me Or see the face of sorrow’s child clearly I’m so glad that I broke the chains of you That love showered me and made me brand new The truth of true love strokes my soul with light I am blessed by the power of love’s sight Thank you for the lesson you taught me well I learned the difference ‘tween heaven and hell Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

  (smiles) Oh Marsha, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, yes, and may your life always gleam with the heavens and may the hell remain towed away from your shoulders forever on! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

The pain of learning such a lesson is evident in your words... for they hurt to read. *S* But you obviously know that inhaling the dust of broken dreams is smothering... and you now dream anew. *S* You deserve all the blessings you've found... This is an excellent write! |

if there is a thin line between love and hate, there exists a thinner line, at times, between heaven and hell. You said, oh so eloquently, what the distinction feels like. Been there, too, Maaaasha, the torment that feasts the hunger, unabated, never satisfied. Stunningly written, a chunk of your heart in verse, unabashedly told so others may know truth to avoid the pain jeff |
