Outrageous she was simply outrageous long black fingernails that only a raven could compete with eyes painted with the look of a wet oil canvas never dried smeared long ago tears her lips were outlinned in red filled in like the coloring books given to a kindergardener long black sweaters oversized made her figure disappear you wouldn't look at her except to stare she was an innocent once someones little girl arms wrapped around her mother snuggled to her breast for comfort the space inside labeled compassion had been filled the room where she protected her heart has been forgotten wandering now needing someone to look past the armor a hopeless case a lost cause holding out for one final chapter she knows you and you know her you recognize her eyes and you turn away she smiles right again she wins every time confirmed self defeat [This message has been edited by SimplyGold (10-22-2002 12:42 PM).] |

 (sigh) Wow, oh my gosh, I just love how you painted this character and revealed reflections of her personality in words alone, sweet friend, this is a fine self-portrait you've fashioned, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Electra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Hi Noah, thanks for your reply. Please make no mistake, this is not a self portrait. Just an observation of people and characters that have crossed my path. Yes, I always try to speak to the heart and it always comes from the heart. I'm waiting for another love poem of yours? Hope you're doing O.K.  SG |

SG, I love your compassion and how you are an observer of (and a participant in!!!)the world around you. You look beyond the obvious. You care! I enjoy your writing on so many levels. I always come away from reading your words with a new insight or way of looking at life. ~ May you forever be you! ~ Linda |

Thank you EA, If you enjoy my poetry half as much as I enjoy yours than I'm a very, very happy camper. Your poetry lifts my spirits and I always appreciate your reactions to mine. SG |

Rad, They are picking me up off the floor at this very moment. I was so overwhelmed and pleased at your repy. Y O U have no idea how appreciative and happy it makes me. You are of course, the same Radrook that is helping me with "The Edge"? I hope so and will still continue to do so? I have been making a conscious effort to follow your pointers. By the way was that what you meant on the last reply to "The Edge'? Reminding me to go back to your previous pointers? Best to you and I want to see more of your posts. SG Wishing you well |
