~*~ A fire burned incessantly flaming golden embers that sparked a madness hypnotizing the night, and somewhere in my heart I broke away from reason that would come back to haunt me and chill me to the bone. The room spun scarlet shadows while the walls dripped, closed in crimson holding me up in the glow before lying me down to dream. Blowing deep breaths in a blaze that singed the silver lining wrapped up with my caution, thrown carelessly to the wind. Make believing in tall tales and how best to fill the emptiness enveloping me to extremes, that went up in flames with the rest of me. The warmth was surreal mingling with a cool breeze between the hush of whispers backed up against a wall. While you kept one eye on the window that was your way out all along. I guess we made it easy on each other, at least for you it must have been. As I frantically try to bury the pain of my insanity tangled up with my misgivings lying low among the ashes burned down in the heat of the moment. And all that turns to dust, turned to dust. ~*~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (01-23-2005 04:35 PM).] |

Thank you always, Alli~ Kacy~ settle it will, and does, which is precisely what burns my eyes. Thanks. Ericc~ Thank you for stopping by to read, I appreciate it. Hey Craig~ Nice to see you here, and thank you for your poetic reply. "Hence the sleeping dust in the corner of morning eyes" That's pretty, if only I didn't have to make my bed. Sweet vandana~ I thank you very much. |

A deep blue theme here my gal... Much like midnight, and as dawn mixes in the reds...a purple sunrise appears...out of the blue. Hugs, TD |

"I broke away from reason that would come back to haunt me" The roots of the tree of blues is always rooted right here..when one breaks away from reason the seedling can grow into a bluesy situation... enjoyed ____________ice ><> |

sparked a madness hypnotizing the night, and somewhere in my heart I broke away from reason that would come back to haunt me and chill me to the bone. into the fire the jumping heart jumps, not looking back reason thrown out the door so good at first, only waiting for dust to settle now.... ehhh what can we do? but pass the kleenex back and forth  and composing sheer heart from poetic ink as you've done as always my sweet blonde |

To quote Jackson Browne~ The Fuse "Like a part of me, it speaks to the heart of me forget what life used to be you are what you choose to be It's whatever it is you see that life will become" Bless your blonde heart, Michele~ and thanks for the read. |
