Shell Game Curse your lies will haunt you as constant whispering echoes they won’t let you rest never letting you go drown them in drink they rise up the tone replace them by another you’re still ALWAYS alone write yourself a new story without a heart words are all you create but your failure will always be the same this shall be your fate you think you are magic but truth breaks your spell I looked behind your lies found you are just a shell ***WHEW…I sure do feel better now…back to my regular poems*** "It is like looking for a blizzard in a glass snowball. Unless you shake it up not one flake will fly." |

Shell game -- yes, exactly, the perfect analogy. Too bad that the grifter almost always gets what he wants, eh? He has nothing invested, so the worst he can do is break even. Yes, the more I think about this poem, the better it gets. Or, as the grifter might say, nice goin', slick! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ [This message has been edited by Ratleader (02-12-2003 10:09 AM).] |

 (big hugggssssssss) This is an edgy but wonderful poem, sweet friend, I too think ever so often these games can get out-dated and why collect the conch shells if they are to be rinsed of the salt water it belonged to! (sad sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet helen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
