Stones You are not the first to touch my heart to whisper that I'm not alone furthermore, you won't be the last to say I inadvertently cast the proverbial first stone. You are not the first to love me and you won't be the last to leave I will still stand here waiting on you to finish debating a complexity you can't conceive. I have no stones in my pockets I live in a glass house, you know- you're not the first to shatter a part you won't be the last to break my heart, but just kiss me before you go. . |

I think a change is probably as good as a holiday dear friend, enjoy while one can, holding on often just breaks a heart, but amazing how it always heals. Enjoyed Dixie, thanks for the sharing here. Have a great week. Sincerely Rick |

loved this Dixie I will still stand here waiting on you to finish debating a complexity you can't conceive. sometime that's all people can give, what they know, nothing more..nor will they try? you're not the first to shatter a part you won't be the last to break my heart, but just kiss me before you go.  |

 A little sad, but knowing. Woman's intuition and the voice of experience can make a deadly combination. I've missed reading your beautiful poems, Dixie. Klassy |

I have a question....just a little choice that I need to make and somehow haven't been able to, so if you will, I'll let you be my Lady Luck and choose for me. I have two very similar stones -- almost identical -- one of which will be an amulet to me, a charm....and the other set aside as a souvenir, but not to be carried with me. One is slightly rough, and a luminous white color...and the other is very smooth, jet black. Each has a strong significance for me, but I feel as if can only carry one. Which should I keep? ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |

Ed, I would say carry the smooth, jet black one ...somehow for whatever reason, I just feel that's where your heart is at. Good luck, my friend |

I have no stones in my pockets I live in a glass house, you know- It hurts to be a gentle, caring creature in this world, doesn't it? I know the feeling you speak of here, and there are times when I would go numb for a while, if I could. About those pocket rocks~~ I do carry one, glass or no~~ My heart's gradually turning that way, the more things happen to it, but I mean one in my pocket, for luck and a reminder that once at least, I found something good. Speaking of which~~ Brother Rat, I'd go for the white one every time, if I were you. |

You need to tell him a "good" place to kiss before he leaves!!! |

James, going numb is an art...mastered if practiced and of course, as with most things, becomes easier with time...maybe I should carry one of those pocket-rocks thanks for the reply Toe...you are loved  thank you |

Dixie, I coulda sworn I'd left a comment here, but apparently I didn't. I've read this so many times, and it touches me deeply. I've been there .. am there. You have such a way of putting it into words. *tight hugs* ~*Sheli*~ By words the mind is winged |

I have no stones in my pockets I live in a glass house, you know- You write strength with forlorn ink... and it's a powerful, poignant combination. *S* Excellent write! *S* And Mr. Ratleader... if you haven't yet chosen... go with the white... and let it ever lift you from the darkness. *S* |

Another great one, Miss Dixie! You know what gets me? Everyone goes thru life trials and tribulations. It always amazes me how you capture all those feeling and are able to express them so well thru your writing. So many times, the same thoughts or feelings I've had...Its as if you were in my mind and wrote the exact things in many of your poems. THANX again for hitting that spot!!!! |

Ah, nice. Loved the twist the last line conveyed... Kristabell "Use your imagination not to scare yourself to death but to inspire yourself to life." |
