Time Leak into Slip Side of Laughter On the slip side of laughter she empties her pockets and looks at the sand still feeling of Mexico Memory is cunning creep with a smile of the dirt room and foreign hole where she had let out the remains of midnight and the ocean I see how it moves now even the cuddle long and thick comes back in the taxi cab and the cold scallops opening doors for the flies I am not a donor and wave them gone as I see her sitting there with her eyes somewhere else The sore is buried now and rising to the top is something I can talk about in the patio with wine and familiar taste of the sea feeling the leak of time [This message has been edited by Martie (09-03-2006 02:31 PM).] |

This is very complex, and extremely revelationary in that you hear a woman whispering a life ago and the wisdom of understand this because it was the way it was evermore and ever so and the wine pinks a sheen to twilight.  |

"The sore is buried now and rising to the top is something she can talk about in the patio with wine and familiar taste of the sea feeling the leak of time" ~ Understanding this ~ and appreciating how you expressed those feelings. Linda |

what Kari said Martie, exactly. It is so nice, when we come to that point in our lives where what was so painful we thought we couldnt get passed it finally journeys on far enough, that we can perhaps remember, and smile. HUGS YOU |

Had to come back to library this one... Is there more to the story? I hope so... *libraried* " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

MartieSis~ Time and again I've returned to this one~ 'I see her sitting there with her eyes somewhere else' ... yes ... and in the vacant of her look I find myself, deep in thought~ Laughter slips in ... and I smile with easy knowing~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Martie - I think I interpret this in the same way as Gentle Spirit but then I think too that I'm missing something. In any event it's always a pleasure to receive the gift of your words. Thank you! |

"On the slip side of laughter she empties her pockets and looks at the sand still feeling of Mexico" I see what Gentle Spirit and Honeybunch see or maybe feel... and this says much |

So many of your poems lately, are difficult to respond to...because there's more said than spoken. You have a subtle touch, and you use it so very well. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

There are things we all bury in the past (sometimes forced to hide), for some everything they knew of another life time, but our roots and histories are never hidden from our own view. We remember... Exquisitely written, Martie. ~ Klassy |

Such an incredible poem. Finding ways to express the inexpressible and sorting out what is better left unsaid. You said this beautifully. I'm so glad to be reading your words and thoughts. Shenachie |

Martie, this is a deep one....I believe that Ratleader has pulled out the words I might have posted. Your writing was always good, but I swear, it just keeps getting better, if that's possible. ....jo |
