dead stone dreams |

Silenced thoughts cut me short I’ve locked the door, and thrown away the key. and won’t come out. The stone pigeons are dead- I dropped them from the rooftop and watched them crumble no wrong was done and yet- caught within these bars are iron. Shut away for my own good? It’s for the ‘sane’ ones to decide but no one touches me here, inside my head Breath turns to stone, and you don’t know what goes on inside Let me sleep I am awake- where you can’t see me I breathe I smile I whisper All in vain Stone won’t last forever just ask the dust by the street- once my conscious thoughts (feeling a little dark today ) insanity is not a crime [This message has been edited by Wind (08-07-2003 07:32 PM).] |

Eric- err..whatever you say Riley- thanks...thanks a lot bunny Nightshade no..I'm not okay. I'm completely insane you've got to read my signature..and don't worry. I'm just..I'm just..uptight Margherita- darkness should always be welcomed. It is a pity that poetry so sad and beautifull should be locked away because it is disturbing. lol..I'm disturbing and they don't lock ME away...oh wait.. insanity is not a crime [This message has been edited by Wind (08-07-2003 11:05 AM).] |

You write like an angel but from a place deep within that seems filled with darkness. Hope all is well ... hugs, Marti |

Liz, I'm thinking that with your talent, you can write anything you feel like writing...whether it's dark...happy...romantic...or any other emotion. You put yourself into it and go with it. You are good, little friend....VERY GOOD!!!! Hugs and love, little lady Ethel |
