Of Vim and Swim I jumped with youth into a pool Came up spluttering like a fool And there illusion lost its vim In the three strokes I could swim. I looked upon the gay and play Well remembered another day Where all to me a piece of cake And pain to me a simple ache. There is no compensate for time Too many bells have chimed their chime And I have listened all to well And danced the dance of youthful spell. And now I grace the dawn of lime With memories full of wine and time Wave upon a balconies dare A hand that circles in the air I thank you all my loving lights I’ll see you in forever’s nights |

Seymour darling boy YOU have to know this is exquisite writing darling heart, it really is exceptional. I know when I see your name it is going to be something special but this is more than that. Utterly utterly perfect writing I love it. You wouldn’t believe the journey I had to make to get in today, I must have tried every backdoor going, however I digress yet again, this is worth any journey, any distance I’ve had to travel to get to you. Randy might have been able to accomplish it in a hop skip and a jump I had to take the road less travelled Next time when you hear me knocking on the door darling ask someone to let me in *wink I’m trying to be brief, it’s not necessarily working but I am trying, and quiet in the back you who called out yes you are very So since I’m attempting brevity this is simply wonderful I love it utterly utterly utterly love it As always Mushy    Breathe through the heat of our desire |

There is no compensate for time Too many bells have chimed their chime And I have listened all to well And danced the dance of youthful spell. Oh this is so wonderful, sy... but I really wish I could have just a little more time compensation. I love the poem.  ~ hugs and more timeLyra |

And now I grace the dawn of lime With memories full of wine and time Wave upon a balconies dare A hand that circles in the air I thank you all my loving lights I'll see you in forever's nights ======================================== "Wave upon a balconies dare" yer so cool  Forever is an endless rhyme A promised kiss from lips sublime I'll meet you there on a balcony of dare We'll take to the air on starlit infinite stairs We'll dance a second chance till eternity chimes This sweet happenstance of borrowed time. ~*~ *winkiewinkie* |

Seymour, how is it that your lime is wreathed in wonder while mine is drunk with bitters? Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
