Shimmergloom~~~~ Hey there. I enjoyed your recent works. It sounds like we have a lot in common. I seem to be having problems with questions, while you have more than enough answers that sometimes people just don't understand you like you would care for them too. I'm having troubles of my own as you can read in "My Own Devil" that I just submitted. If you got any probs man, I'm here for ya. Keep up the good works man.<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely,<BR>

Stephen - In American Bandstand style I give your Song/Poem and 88 because I could dance to it!  I take it you play guitar.  I do drums.  All we need now is bass and vocals and we've got a group.<BR>

Paul B.: 'Accent on Love' was a charming poem.  Really liked it.<BR>
<BR>
Sarah: Your short but sexually sweet poems are great for conveying an image without having to be wordy or gratuitously graphic.  Awesome poems!!

You say you love me<BR>
yet you lie<BR>
I don't know if your<BR>
love is true anymore.<BR>
<BR>
I've heard everything<BR>
now I have to choose<BR>
whats a lye and<BR>
whats the truth.<BR>
<BR>
Instead of me choosing<BR>
Why can't you?<BR>
choose me or choose to<BR>
tell the truth.<BR>
<BR>
My heart will hurt<BR>
Maybe yours will too.<BR>
I doubt it though<BR>
maybe you could tell me<BR>
but please tell the truth.

You know your in my dreams<BR>
I know I'm in yours too.<BR>
I wish you were here <BR>
so I could be holding onto <BR>
you.<BR>
<BR>
You can see it in my eyes<BR>
It's in yours too.<BR>
We really love each other<BR>
me and you.

One too many letters<BR>
that you never read<BR>
one too many letters<BR>
I wish I hadn't sent.<BR>
<BR>
We'll never talk again<BR>
avoiding the awkward moments<BR>
replaced by awkward stares<BR>
because of those one too many letters<BR>
I'll never send again.

Coda~ 'Questions' was a very though provoking work. I loved the line..."weighing his crevices next to his supposed bridges"...it says well what I have pondered a lot lately. Thanks.<BR>
