Will i wear it well or will it ravage me down some long corridor? Will i master it, outsmart it? or fall helpless to its undertow beneath the raging fire where i still grow aglow, in baritone voice thickened waist and mustache, perhaps a handlebar one, if i choose not to be enslaved to the razor's edge, anymore, Will i forget i'm a siren becoming a matron or a blabbleing washerwoman, feeding god's lost souls, Will the truckers still eye me or will i be effaced, faceless as last night's dancing girl round a pole, Will i spin in the wash and poof..... adhere to conventions, polyester pantsuits, prim and proper with a big belly sticking out proud and portly, like a penguin, stiffened legs, glued together, sexless, with sensible shoes, legs crossed at the ankles, or Will i ignore the sshhhhhhhhh ing......the hushed matriachs, the holiday dinners where i first heard about it all between the courses, wearing long pigtals, listening behind the doors, to myths of the curse, the evil eye, and old wives tales forever etched in mind, they made me fear it and stamped it on my femininitiy, and me the goddess, me the whore me the poet, me the dreamer Will i be driven mad by its onset, or Will i wither and fade in transparancy, becoming a shell of the young woman, stolen soon to be erased like the others before [This message has been edited by inkedgoddess (08-29-2003 06:52 AM).] |

Oh Inked Wonder... You have forgotten only one brilliant line...you are like the river...flowing through time among these pages, among these changes and forever in our embrace. Besides, you rock. TD |

Happens to the best of us and denied many way too soon. Like a fine wine you get better with age and you wont have the worries of the bad girl syndrome. Let it happen without reservation |

Amazing as usual, questions always questions. Who knows what time holds just know that you worn it well and made the most of it when you could [This message has been edited by Aenimal (08-29-2003 12:17 AM).] |

change is not always as it seems,good write and as far as fading I agree seems unlikely power is in the words of the writer. |

or Will i wither and fade in transparancy, becoming a shell of the young woman, stolen soon to be erased like the others before Michele, I doubt very seriously that these will happen to you. You can even come through the menopause sexy. LOL Hugs to you lady  Ethel |

Your phrasings are sublime Altho' they're not in rhyme. You well outline the fears that chase us through the years. But yet I think your notions don't impact emotions. For surely your heart floats free As ever was meant to be. Lovely write..KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
