If You Listen if you listen I will tell myself forever, every dot of me; I’ll call them back, the minutes, all the details I’ve forgotten, only listen, listen, stay with me and I will tell you all, then when it’s done I will recount each detail of the telling just to hold you through each moment for another moment, only listen.... |

Now that I've back spaced a dozen times, suffice to say this is my kind of poem. Your heart speaks with such tenderness, in a language all it's own. I am at a loss to find the words to tell you so...this is something very special, indeed. You're a class act Mr. Rat~ |
