~ a year ago at this time...I posted this in Dark a friendly moderator there at the time thought perhaps it could be constructed differently to increase it's punch....I disagreed  but through that disagreement... I met the other half of my heart... so this is an anniversary and for it..I would like to repost this... as it was proposed... by her and as a thank-you to this poor tormented woman who brought us together~ ----------------------------------------- They get confused and lost... I need heat for my 2,000 doors 1906 was my fault! They get confused and lost in my 2,000 doors seal it up! 2,000 doors and 13 is my secret and...and the daisy is my secret..yes "these same thoughts people this little world" The lights for them and nowhere for the others Must need lights for the nowhere... seal it up! the 10,000 windows to see my 6 kitchens the blue room for me..... this is what I want done OH! And 47 stairways... the medium told me so .... to go round and around so they rest You! Don't look at me! ....but for the three that see me, I play my organ this is what I want done Seal It Up! The medium told me so in my blueroom The 6 kitchens and 47 stairways... you ring the bell at 2 and 12 and 13! (I see you bathing) only the finest for me and for those killed by Winchester Seen through 10,000 windows.... my child and my husband gone... don't look at me! 13 is my heat...the medium told me so My child and my husband I see in 47 fireplaces and 47 stairways The spider web "wide unclasps the tables of their thoughts" Black hand do not look at me! 7 and 11 and 47 fireplaces The three that see me know 1906 was my fault 10,000 windows confuse and lose the bad ones not my child and husband Haunted I am by 160 rooms... I go round and around to please those killed by Winchester........ and 1906 was my fault! 6 kitchens for me... and the spirits 13 baths to wash my sin of the web the web the web the three that see me Oh the pain! the spirits that haunt me... haunt the 13 baths I hear you spirits! I need you servants! more light... I need you my child and husband the pain... my secret killed by Winchester rifles the web 160 rooms round and around (only the finest) the pain! they rest she rests...... she rests [This message has been edited by brian sites (08-17-2003 01:17 AM).] |

Well, of course I had to go and find the original posting of this, and then I had to smile at the coming together of two such beautiful people. This is an incredible write, Brian, and yes... a very appropriate post to mark this special day. Thank you for sharing it again. Happy Anniversary to you both...you're beautiful.  "My friends are my estate." |

I've seen the house... it's beyond description, but if a poet COULD do it... you did. Well done...to both you, and your muse... |

Brian, I am totally out of the loop, but that is okay, I don't need to know anything except that you are happy. Happy Anniversary!... Now a few words about the poem... It was astonishing! It was as if they voice were in my head...what a master piece!! (as of right now I have not seen the first one as it isn't loading, oh but I will...have no doubt!) Susan |
