I wondered how to say goodbye because I never say farewell as I brushed my long brown hair interspersed with grays and hues of dyes in remnants...of blonde and hollows underneath my eyes write the stories I cannot and lashes falling on my cheeks are poetry that I will not never ever tell until I know that I am free of the weight of all these keys unlocking all of these choices mock plurality like lipsticks in a drawer... I twist a tube and paint a ruse circles on my cheeks a clown and paint my lips in upside down deciding that I am a mime because I never say farewell I never know what's coming next and so I offer silences as pennies dropped into a well-- waiting for the sound of splash and pulling up a bucketfull of that which doesn't quench my will-- because I never say farewell-- I look for copper in my cup. |

I'll give you all my penny wishes ... in your name, I'll fill my wishers well. I've heard the tears behind the silence poetry whispers the truths you "lived to tell." Rhymes speak volumes filling pages ... but words alone cant heal a heart. The keys that free are between the lines you've always held them from the start. If my mere words but could they would wish to write you a "fair farewell."   "This medium is over-run with keyboard prophets ... |

I never know what's coming next and so I offer silences as pennies dropped into a well-- waiting for the sound of splash and pulling up a bucketfull of that which doesn't quench my will-- |

Beautiful! But I hate that you are hurting. I must be thick, but I didn't understand about looking for copper in your cup. - Owl |

Between the lines the answers lay that fill our cups or so they say, you know that as well as me for Gemini ladies are gifted in see. I'll give a penny for your thinking cup and wait until a better day shows up. |

"write the stories I cannot and lashes falling on my cheeks are poetry that I will not never ever tell until I know that I am free of the weight of all these keys unlocking all of these choices" You speak of feelings with a velvet touch serenity. You always drop copper into my cup. Thank you. |

Thanks all for reading and as I told a friend--not to worry, people in New Orleans know better than to burn BRIDGES.  So thus, no "farewell", y'see...*grins* |

Karen...Poetry allows us to wear so many different disguises, we can be anyone we choose, and wish upon a cup of copper for dreams we want to live. Enjoyed my friend...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
