Having given up the ghost and the grain seasons ago, I was taken aback at the hint of your name and the catch in my throat that would not pass God offered his hand... but I unblinking refused aid crying, "touch me", I know no other salvation but the love you will not give and I am angry now, at loose ends carelessly left frayed, but breathing knowing I should have seen the deed through but you smiled and seemed to care and I too easily lulled, believed.

Amazing how the mind retains it all and the emotions make it become suddenly real again.....This is excellent writing and a good rebuttal to yourself but not without passion. Eric The best teachers have the biggest ears |

Duncan... you not only impress me with this piece... you show me something inside the words and the inspire, I did not consider before..and I thought I had considered Iambe from every angle imaginable... your heart is showing bud...and pieces of your soul... both look good on you. |
