Here he lies beneath your feet Taking his place in his eternal seat No one really knew him in life Loneliness took him for wife All he wanted until the end Someone to call upon, a friend Let these words give peace at last To put all his hurts in the past Let not anyone grieve, nor cry Soon like him, they too will die And death will melt away all the fear With a sigh, and a parting tear [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 03-01-2000).] |

cool but why should it be banned Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace, of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd |

I still don't know why the other one was. |

Indeed, death comes to us all. I've always wondered why we fear the inevitable...and why we grieve over the passing we do. Good poem. Michael |

this is a short one for you...  No one really knew him in life Loneliness took him for wife... thats the line that defines the poems emotions for me. sadly excellent...as always... stalk you later, jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be... Jackson Browne *I miss you baby... I love you...always. |
