To Ali~ In the rain, Wow I jut loved it<BR>
I don't know why but it's just like a fairy tale <BR>
I realy liked it<BR>
<BR>
To Eliana~ "don't bother was just so gr8<BR>
The end was so good<BR>
It's true don't say you'll do if you don't plan to start and don't say things you just don't mean<BR>
I always say I want to hear the truth even if it is something I don't want to hear<BR>
Sometimes I push them to tell me the truth and I have the feeling that it hurts less then because I won't be left to wonder..<BR>
And " scars I can not hide" wow...

Rodney~Thank you!  Never thought about song writing, maybe someday though!!  I try and write from my heart and my own expieriences.  Thank you so very much!!<BR>
<BR>
Angela~'The Story of Chris' really hit home with me.  I lost a very good friend to drugs, and I do agree with you, all that you can do is stand by them and help them through things.<BR>
<BR>
Ali~'Chains That Bind'was wonderful, full of feeling and knowing...keep up the wonderful work!!<BR>

thank you so much... you're words brightened my day. I just have ine question, what if they don't say anything at all?? no truth, no lies, just nothing??? that's worse than either one I think<BR>

Rodney~ 'Distances' and 'just to be with you' were wonderful.  I didn't realize when you asked if I thought about song writing that you were one yourself

2 Eliana~ Maybe your right, maybe it's even worse if they don't say anything<BR>
But I do feel that Lies are always the worst<BR>
Because all I want from someone is that they tell me the truth<BR>
The poem" what hurt the most" is also about that<BR>
And You gave me inspiration to write something new <BR>
So pls read " just be silent"<BR>
There is my answer to your question, I hope you understand..thank you

But, it's wonderfull and beautiful.I'm glad that I give you hope...Again, your poems were fantastic!<BR>

Mirabeau ~ 'Sleeping Goddess' is so real. I always like your poems.<BR>
<BR>
Akash ~ 'Waiting' really evoked sad & lonely feelings and missing your significant other. I feel that way every time my husband travels.

Ali~ Wow...the emotional impact of your latest work is powerful. I hope you felt the cathartic value of 'Would I' and 'In My Story'. Thank you for sharing your heart that way. May the light of love heal and soothe the ache, allowing the good memories cloud the bad.<BR>
