It was a break-wing sigh That escaped my lips to the stares Of quizzical companions who had no idea I had just felt you descend into another hell Of pounded flesh used to the edge of black And tossed aside as easily as yesterday’s wrappings To burn in many colored flames As the consumption of wrinkled dyes Began in earnest desire to see what indeed Was the peak of passion’s fall And how could it be You might have it all If for only a few fleeting seconds before grim hands Either clasped you to his cold breast or shoved you back With a laugh that next time Next time perhaps As he ran down your thighs you might not open your eyes I simply smiled at those around me And made a witty remark about the way holiday’s Were sometimes hard Though it was lost on them The irony and the underlying thin lines of truth About how it was to burn brighter when alone Yet feel whole at the edges of an abyss Unexplained certainty denies “ toast then….” I said “To Peace on earth” then mumbled “and in my head” |

In the movie "Jerry Maguire", one character says to the other "You had me with hello." Here, you had me with the title... and you didn't lose a thing. This... *sigh*... My heart isn't very coherent when it's touched deeply. *S* |

This moves my heart to compassion - and mists of sorrow - SusanEvery action generates a force that returns to us in like kind . . . let us choose compassion and love |
