I aim for the tail of a mermaid.. So I can swim the yonder seas. Far away, from the dry land.. From the crying children, and the invisible man. How you kiss with no lips, speak with no words.. You torture, with no side of heaven. I see no arms that hold me, I still feel their warmth in my bed.. How cruel it to be that I may not watch you sleep? That I wept with fear, I couldn't see you there.. I'll glide past ghostly ships, smile as bubbles rise by my lip.. As some say silence is a free fall down a row of purgatory, it shifts in the dawn. So shall my tail slither over water and underneath.. so I shall be buried in what I remembered you as.. |

Kaoru...I'm liking this. Very well done. Hugs, ~Vicky "Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it." -Martin Luther King, Jr. [This message has been edited by vlraynes (09-07-2003 02:58 AM).] |

How you kiss with no lips, speak with no words.. You torture, with no side of heaven. I see no arms that hold me, I still feel their warmth in my bed.. How cruel it to be that I may not watch you sleep? That I wept with fear, I couldn't see you there.. nice work..and the feelings well conveyed.. artistry..and angst... as is usually the case..I am impressed.. with the depths..and the artistry |
