sunburn swallows of sand I knew the voice of hollow men when they were gravel on glass and their knees were prayers to concrete gods with closed eyes my tattoos carried guns and my night was a womb there was no woman there only the pain of labor and the crying of silence the gypsy brought a butterfly with metal winged knives and danced for my shadows she had secrets in her bosom but the cold told her lies when tomorrow wears cameos of mountains with pale eyes I will find her woman there and drink her from the seams of the lady she wears as armor she will taste of shadows then _________ dark |

Wow Dark - this one speaks deeply and moves my soul with its whispers - hugs - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

determination is a virtue! DS, this is, as all of yours are, an incredible nakedness that most are afraid of... Morning Sunshine! |
