To the lamp of love: may it burn brightest in the darkest hours and never flicker in the winds of trial. ~Author Unknown

Happiness

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think.  Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.  ~A.A. Milne

God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

 LIFESONG

Flange my wings, crepe my cape

Before I fly, but soar I will.

The deaf, blind to song,

 Still feel my bearing; askew,

 Out-takes galore until

I get it right. Silk is not

Soft as my kiss, nor

Air carry the cry of my

Throat, and the warbling of

Doves is not ample enough

For my poems and psalm:

 Just you.

 What brings:

 Brought my heart,

 And on

 Wings of desire.

This, my image

Prone

Mind

- This strange-

Soul:

 Hews more than snow smeared

Earth, each crystal an unlike

Being, masking summer trails,

    But my is of a nature

One, my Maker guides this

  Flight, joy and cry,

 Wrung from being's pores/

 Soared on mimic stars and

Glistened fancy......yes

I bled, but oh heart, 

 Those you shared

            With    me. 

I really should get back to charcoal drawing

No right minds could wrong be this many times -SB

"Between The Lines"

Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause i cant continue pretending to choose
The opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong be this many times

My memory is cruel
Im queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times
If only i had been listening

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines

I thought i thought i was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So i've learned to listen through silence

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me be
You and me always be

I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me i'm almost ready
When he meant let go

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines
