Peacemaker the skillfulness of words you say from lips of phantom love through times illusions you are there in trepidation of the happiness that could be yours the naked thoughts of mine a faded photograph I share when shadows intertwine and day becomes the nighttime of replaced by Wynter's dance two souls adrift in feelings want embraced by happenstance guiding me along the stay the alibis of you, a war internal crimes its way in loopholes seeking blue when into arms, committed I to leisurely embrace holding on to "never go" this leave of turtle's pace. Corrupting me, each minute's life when shared in eye to eye I fall into the eclipse of the powers thrust in sigh. As time slips by and days of more become my reign of life endeavor I to be the best "a-once-upon-a-wife". I grasp each moment for its gift, push jealousy aside for when I reminisce, it's me, the other, now in hide. She watches from behind the wall to see if I will fail. I smile and whisper inwardly and press her back in braille. There is no way that I am she, nor could she ever be the me I am who's moved ahead, improving by degree. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (11-09-2002 11:54 AM).] |

Awww M the progress of you. Your growth continues to delight me. You are an amazing woman. Peace. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

thank you Mark..I think highly of your work and your responses *s..I actually was thinking of calling this "Corrupted" but was talking to someone about how I am the peacemaker in my family and thought that title better..since I am trying to make peace with and for myself. ~smiling~ M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (11-09-2002 09:47 AM).] |

Thank you Larry, sometimes I am amazed at what finally comes out of me to post..if I go back and search my own C drive to read something from the past, I don't feel like I could have written it...I don't understand why, but it happens alot to me. Anyway, I am feeling good...and am hopeful to continue feeling this way. hugs M |

As time slips by and days of more become my reign of life endeavor I to be the best "a-once-upon-a-wife". I grasp each moment for its gift, push jealousy aside for when I reminisce, it's me, the other, now in hide. Wow M, this is wonderful. A great write with loads of introspection in subtle verse. Nicely done! |

"She watches from behind the wall to see if I will fail. I smile and whisper inwardly and press her back in braille. There is no way that I am she, nor could she ever be the me I am who's moved ahead, improving by degree." Unbelievably good writing, Maureen. Intense, very evocative. |
