Until the Time of Eight |

I think about the 14th, that special day for some. And can't recall the last of, a time when shared with one. Prepared myself in games of those sensual tastes to place. But never does that special time arrive to this, my space. No cards to wear the warmth of, No words that make the day. Different is just sameness when arrows miss this way. So I pretend, and write my words and take them to that spot, to leave behind a single rose for one who had forgot. There, I watch behind the scene to see who finds my "left" and always, there's the smile that shows my words brought happiness. This to be the third year, new poem to create. Once more that day, on bench I'll be, until the time of eight... M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

Craig..you made me smile....too bad you are so far away Here is the poem I will leave this year, with a rose attached: To Someone Special As I press my words to page for you I hope you understand, the meaning behind rose of red, left here by my hand. I have no one to share the day. Alone, I've been awhile. But pleasure brought to me this way becomes when you will smile. And wonder who has left these words. This poet with a rose. It's meant to give to someone loved, by you when this night goes. Enjoy its meaning, for it's full of loving meant to share. This I leave for you who finds, to know that I, One, care. 2004 ~MJS~ |

Hey, M, I enjoyed this so much. To tell you the truth, I think there are a whole lot more of us romantics who aren't romanced that would ever be admitted! |

Dixie, Jo and Alyssa I go to a particular mall that I enjoy. Either treat mysef to a dinner at one ofthe restaurants there...or a movie or both but then before the mall closes I lay the scrolled ribboned poem and rose on the wooden bench when no one is sitting there and leave it behind...and wait for someone to see it and pick it up, read it and usually smile. Then they have a present. A poem and a rose to give to someone. (Usually it is one of the workers who probably didn't have time to shop for their special someone.) And that way I am not really alone for the evening. Besides, I make friends easily and always end up talking with people. *s M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (02-03-2004 04:57 PM).] |

You capture so many memories, and almost write your heart's history through your poetry. Both poems are just lovely, as you are. Hugs M~ |
