With every stroke of words - You deceive me. Only our silence is real. Yet still I yearn for the warmth of lies...just to feel your breath whisper soft against me. |

The fullness of love and life is channeled so perfectly through the breath. Indeed no words can compete with it. But still we try and try, thanks to God you try and your whispers come close ... very close to what is. Had to come back to this, as I fell into silence the first time. To experience the real! Loving you, Margherita  |

Eric, Like Margherita, initially ,I didn't exactly know what to say. It seems you know yourself so well. At times we wonder what choices to make, but I'm beginning to believe that there is no wrong choice as long as we use our heart and we try not to hurt others. If it doesn't pan out as we like, at least it IS a step. Steps make paths that can be retraced or altered. Take care. ~miscellanea |

this is painfully sad, and hopelessly romantic all at the same time...  |

wonderfully written, people do change, through the pain they've caused themselves, but if they can understand the severe despair of the pain they've caused others, then that is the hint of change which will cause a chain reaction in their lives...meaning, they care more for the hearts of others and realize the great responsiblity of such. Hugs to you...for a wonderful ponder |

I've known that wish....all too well....sometimes you'd just rather not know. In the final grind though, truth may hurt but it doesn't injure, and the sweet lie is only straw over the pungee sticks of reality.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
