Beyond Today When I feel the absence of it I try to compose my own melody, scribbled words noted just so reminding me of all the little things to be grateful for. I am forever drawn to those qualities that sometimes hide in the illusionary. Speaking to myself, I am reminded by my souvenirs that I dust off. Their edges still warmed by thoughts, their centers bringing a twinkle to light my eyes. I hold memories in frames, journeys of my inner self of which only I can understand. Days of contentment, nights of excitement, a face to make me smile... all bordered, watching me as I move about the rooms. I feel the pain of the tapping on my heart, the quiet sighs of "never again" pulling at my insides as I listen to the rain, the crying of the day streaming down the windows looking for a place to rest, their place along with mine. I see beyond today, but the sight is a blinding one trapping me in a betrayal. I rest on my edges awaiting that final push, one that is sure to come, its touch of both pleasure and pain. ~~*~~ just a quick poem ... M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (10-29-2003 10:43 AM).] |

Maureen: you know . . here: hold memories in frames, journeys of my inner self of which only I can understand. Days of contentment, nights of excitement, a face to make me smile... all bordered, watching me as I move about the rooms. God I have a shrine of them myself *smile* Bless you xxoo |

Love it nakdthoughts! Just a quick poem? Laughing out loud! Damn don't say that. If that is a quick effort then I am in trouble. My best won't be able to top it. Love the poem dear friend. Bravo! Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Love to read you, M. Thanks for being here. I like this: I feel the pain of the tapping on my heart, the quiet sighs of "never again" pulling at my insides as I listen to the rain, the crying of the day streaming down the windows looking for a place to rest, their place along with mine. e |
