I'm speechless,
as you've lopped off my tongue
because the silence screamed
out to you,
bore down on you,
got 'round to you,
as it were,
but now I see
your stance on free,
and know that I will never be,
all the things you ask of me.
Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    You have a very nurturing way about you. Very upbeat and level-headed. The kind who would be fair in an argument and not vicious. I liked this poem. It made me smile.
    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!
  • :) Aw, thanks for the kind words, ladies! Love to both of yous!!!
