Partners in the crime of sight; oh, dark and deadly night ‘tis but a body’s gain or loss spread eagled on a cross that bows to spirit calls for the knowing of it all. But I, not I, the gypsy tart of bygone slights and smarts to foretell the end of strife and a better human life because dreams aren’t really real and nothing grows from needs planted in the nether lands of temporal mortal man. Partners you and I in the framework of foresight but too there is a heart - twinkle, twinkle, little part how I’ve wandered far and wide to discover if you lie … and you do when undone from the love in everyone. Partners in a lie; how better to describe the sweet and bitter remind that all is not complete until we awake from sleep and the silent feel of grief becomes a cloverleaf. When united at the core, can there be anymore after all the mourners have walked around the corner? Helen / 11 August 2005 |

not all lies are lies and not all truths are truths and predictions can be created and stages set to have one look bad. in my life i have not cared for some women as the bad they talked about men. and the men they talked about played some like a fiddle. good to me so their jealousy played in, yet abusing others as them, yet the whole world saw the charming good would do anything for anyone man, the spitefull, hurting, female so the man would not get found out. i watched my grandfather and father play that game. i watched my ex play that game and did not know the lengths they went to make sure no one believed them the hurt, abused one, then i noticed ones who would believe the abuser, expecially when truth known, let them think they were ok and the female or child was crazy or bitch or liar. or on drugs or mental so they could have them spend their money on them get what ever they wanted. used them. or not get envolved as abuser is very vendictive and would do them wrong. you can only pray and pray and write and talk and hope someone hears and sees both sides, not only one as abuser says. as they are drunk, yelling beating lying dehumanizing the very one who loves and cares. and those lies do hurt. but wanting to stop it and still believe or have faith and love and forgivenes is hard to keep and at times you fall actually give up needing some one to help never getting it people need to place themselves in anothers shoes and see how it feels sad thing in life not many can i pray to god for the strength to stop it help and as i stand here praying, may god strike me dead if i am not honest and sincere about things that most families dont want others to know. i wonder why i made a pac with god and the kids mother , grandmother,which is deseased, to stop it and protect them and tell her truth. it is so hard and many oppisitions even by ones who say they are godly. how sad My spirit will rise |

LeeJ - I just have to say again that you are an amazing person. You seem to have a better grasp of my poems than I even do. MGroves - I do very much hope that you will make peace with the past. Thank you both for the read. |
