well, BK -  I read your poem (naturally) and decided you had simply fallen into Irish at the time... LOL. Perhaps it can be accepted by merit of its spirit?

You can bet your Shamrocks they did ha. These Irish eyes be winking and playing all the rich Irish music and jokes again come St Patricks Day for certain. Though I be Dutch, Scotch, Irish and Cherokee Indian, this sunless winter be grinding me nerves and we need merryment around here.<BR>

Yes, BK. Well, I have to say, I'm 100% Aussie, ancestry of 5/8 German, 2/8 English and 1/8 French (no wonder I'm bloody confused)... yet no Irish, suprisingly...

Chances; Yeah, there was so much sacking and burning back then it's hard to truly know what any of us are. I just say Heinz 57 varieties or pure royal mutt. I've only traced us back to 1697 here in America, I haven't gotten into Europe yet. <BR>

As if the passion were not enough<BR>
You melt me with your kiss<BR>
The fantasy of loving you<BR>
and yet I want more.<BR>
More<BR>
I have never been greedy before<BR>
but with you <BR>
a selfish streak surfaces<BR>
to have everything you are<BR>
to swallow you whole<BR>
till your heart<BR>
beats<BR>
within mine. <BR>

KIRK - there does seem to be a problem with submitting work. So I guess I'll just post here till it's fixed?<BR>

Clowning Around?<BR>
<BR>
I am <BR>
A silly clown<BR>
I don't have<BR>
Magic tricks<BR>
To perform<BR>
I don't wear<BR>
A ridiculous grin<BR>
Clowns are clever<BR>
Dressing themselves<BR>
To look less than they are<BR>
Disguising who they are<BR>
I guess I am <BR>
The sad clown<BR>
The lonely clown<BR>
The pretty clown<BR>
But still I dance<BR>
You are <BR>
The clever clown<BR>
The one I would watch<BR>
At the markets

Burning<BR>

Why do you do this to me?<BR>
Now I am on fire<BR>
For everyone to see<BR>
I will look at you<BR>
With eyes of wonder<BR>
The world will know<BR>
I will not be able to hide<BR>
The blaze within me<BR>
Why and more importantly<BR>
When?

Spy<BR>
<BR>
Why do you spy<BR>
A little spy on me?<BR>
So I stay here<BR>
And you stay there<BR>
And we can meet <BR>
Somewhere between<BR>
Exchange our secrets<BR>
Give intelligence<BR>
If we can trust<BR>
Before deciding<BR>
Our course of action<BR>
Teach me how you are<BR>
Such a good spy

I would not post except it is time sensitive.  Sorry for the rambling,  Jim<BR>
<BR>
Tomorrow is your birthday dear<BR>
A day of joy for you<BR>
Tomorrow I'll be seeking<BR>
Other comfort for my blues<BR>
<BR>
The card I sent you'll throw away<BR>
The flowers left to die<BR>
So while you have a happy day<BR>
I'll lie with her, and cry<BR>
<BR>
I will try hard to let you go<BR>
It's been such a long time<BR>
You never even let me know<BR>
If I've ever crossed your mind.<BR>
<BR>
Enjoy your life, such as it goes<BR>
In your virtual playground<BR>
In the rooms with internet hoes<BR>
You never hear a sound<BR>
<BR>
Do not wonder if I share<BR>
Your fear of life and love<BR>
'Cause one day soon again I'll bare<BR>
My soul to a new dove<BR>
<BR>
And then you'll fade, perhaps one day<BR>
Into a fond and distant place<BR>
While I kiss and touch and play<BR>
With someone else's face<BR>
<BR>
I'll let you out from where you hide<BR>
Behind the wall I've built so wide<BR>
And from my heart and soul you'll go<BR>
Goodbye my love, this must be so<BR>
<BR>
You told me once, too long ago<BR>
That walls keep bad things in<BR>
While keeping out the things we fear<BR>
We keep out sorrow in.<BR>
<BR>
I didn't understand at all<BR>
That I'm not good for you<BR>
My ego would not allow a fall<BR>
I want you and I'm blue<BR>
<BR>
But what of you, how can I not<BR>
Allow you what you feel<BR>
Because you used to think me hot<BR>
Before your legs I kneel<BR>
<BR>
Forgive me woman, who I hurt<BR>
I have no right to ask<BR>
Just push my face into the dirt<BR>
And grind away the mask<BR>
<BR>
How dare you think I'm not the one<BR>
To make your sunshine strong<BR>
I'm Jim damnit, your world and sun<BR>
So what I done you wrong<BR>
<BR>
Forgive me and take me back<BR>
I don't care what's good for you<BR>
I'll lie to you with soul so black<BR>
Because that's what I do<BR>
<BR>
You made the right choice baby, I'm no good for you.<BR>
God help me I do love you so.

Nervous jitters.......<BR>
Long talks........<BR>
Hours spent laughing.....<BR>
Time together........<BR>
<BR>
Time together.......<BR>
Cold words......<BR>
Blaming the other....<BR>
Deafening silence...<BR>
<BR>
Time alone.......<BR>
Waiting on phone calls...<BR>
Wondering what happened....<BR>
Crying myself to sleep.....<BR>
<BR>
Time without you........<BR>
Loneliness........<BR>
Anger.........<BR>
Tears.......<BR>
Confusion....<BR>
<BR>
Time........<BR>
keeps ticking.......<BR>
keeps moving forward.......<BR>
I'm left.....<BR>
Numb......<BR>
<BR>
Time......<BR>
Healing.....<BR>
Just takes time......<BR>
To get over you.
