Tracing Life

You can read her life
by the lines
tracing her eyes
and mouth.

No paints or powders
can erase the the life lived.
She sees this as unattractive,
she sees this as unsettling,
and it hurts my ears,
and it hurts my heart.
She is a vision of lovliness,
she is strong and loving.
A mother, a sister,
a friend, a helping hand...
Every line is who she is,
every line is the inside, turned out.
I tell her she is gorgeous and she is!

You can read her life
by the lines
tracing her eyes
and mouth.

A beauty, unique and beyond compare!

:)

    LOL! I couldn't resist! :D

    I dunno, Rache. I think chick's just think with hope in their tender hearts and ignore their heads, even when their heads are screaming *GET OUT NOW!!!*

    or we could blame it on PMS, like we do with everything else. ;);):p

    It gave me the idea to write for my older sister, She needs it now.
    K-The lost will do their best to get home, if they are loved. To our soldiers who have given what they had.

    BEautifulllllllll
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    my pleasure, as always. :)

    aww. I wonder why I've never written anything about my siblings. at least I don't think I have.
    should do that sometime. :D

    and yet the bod produces a rather compelling argument...


    "b-b-b-b-but.... we won't get laid no more (or held... you know, whatever you're in to) "


    relationships are just plain old fucked. especially once you've been woken up with a fucking TAZER


    if only i could live the day by myself and each evening, transport mr. twitterpation to my bed to curl toes with, take morning showers, a little coffee... and then off toward being by myself, otherwise unaffected. but NO... you gotta talk to 'em. lol...

    FUCK!!!

    sistanumsy, :) I'm so glad! It's amazing what giving a poetic perception of our siblings can do for them, especially when they're in need. It reminds them how cared for and loved they are. I hope you share your here too!! :) And thank you.

    depop, depop, depop,,,how do you say, de-groovy, de-gorgeous, de-lite! :D Thanks, my friend! :) (don't know if you're familiar with Miss Lady K and Deee-Lite but that little depopulous bit up there was inspired by none other :D)

    :) eMMers, you're a doll! Write something about your sibs, it'll make 'em feel good and in turn, you'll feel good! :)

    LMFAO!! Mr. Twitterpation!!! LOL! This one's fer you!

    So come up to the lab
    And see what's on the slab
    I see you shiver with TWITTER...pation ;)
    But maybe the rain
    Isn't really to blame
    So I'll remove the cause
    But not the symptom

    :p

    Hee Hee! Mail order boy toy wanted! Must be clean, attentive, give wicked foot massages, hold me when I cry...and shut the fuck up and go away when I say so!!!! :p:p;):D

    Very nice! Made me think of my sis too...all warm and fuzzy feelin' :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    I should do that.
    just that I think I can write good poems only in English (I write in Finnish too but mainly prose then..) and dunno how they would react to that. :) my youngest brother barely knows what 'thanks' means. :D
