Jon,
Contacts is beautiful...
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.

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...
oh... and some of the Germans ancestors were originally from Scotland... but we won't say aught of the Scots if we know what's good for us. LOL
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.

As if the passion were not enough
You melt me with your kiss
The fantasy of loving you
and yet I want more.
More
I have never been greedy before
but with you
a selfish streak surfaces
to have everything you are
to swallow you whole
till your heart
beats
within mine.
Passion_Painter; Wow, I want to bite your neck is not appropriate but whew...maybe you should write some more for us please
Kirk,
Let me thank you for making site available for my inane therapy. I am havng trouble posting a work. Am I doing something different?

Rainbowchaser, I do like this one.
Rennie, I'm overwhelmed by your use of words. A kind word from you means a lot.
Jim
KIRK - there does seem to be a problem with submitting work. So I guess I'll just post here till it's fixed?
Clowning Around?
I am
A silly clown
I don't have
Magic tricks
To perform
I don't wear
A ridiculous grin
Clowns are clever
Dressing themselves
To look less than they are
Disguising who they are
I guess I am
The sad clown
The lonely clown
The pretty clown
But still I dance
You are
The clever clown
The one I would watch
At the markets
Did anyone else besides me e-mail Kirk? The page resets tonight for the new month at midnight doesn't it???

Why do you do this to me?
Now I am on fire
For everyone to see
I will look at you
With eyes of wonder
The world will know
I will not be able to hide
The blaze within me
Why and more importantly
When?
Spy
Why do you spy
A little spy on me?
So I stay here
And you stay there
And we can meet
Somewhere between
Exchange our secrets
Give intelligence
If we can trust
Before deciding
Our course of action
Teach me how you are
Such a good spy
I would not post except it is time sensitive. Sorry for the rambling, Jim
Tomorrow is your birthday dear
A day of joy for you
Tomorrow I'll be seeking
Other comfort for my blues
The card I sent you'll throw away
The flowers left to die
So while you have a happy day
I'll lie with her, and cry
I will try hard to let you go
It's been such a long time
You never even let me know
If I've ever crossed your mind.
Enjoy your life, such as it goes
In your virtual playground
In the rooms with internet hoes
You never hear a sound
Do not wonder if I share
Your fear of life and love
'Cause one day soon again I'll bare
My soul to a new dove
And then you'll fade, perhaps one day
Into a fond and distant place
While I kiss and touch and play
With someone else's face
I'll let you out from where you hide
Behind the wall I've built so wide
And from my heart and soul you'll go
Goodbye my love, this must be so
You told me once, too long ago
That walls keep bad things in
While keeping out the things we fear
We keep out sorrow in.
I didn't understand at all
That I'm not good for you
My ego would not allow a fall
I want you and I'm blue
But what of you, how can I not
Allow you what you feel
Because you used to think me hot
Before your legs I kneel
Forgive me woman, who I hurt
I have no right to ask
Just push my face into the dirt
And grind away the mask
How dare you think I'm not the one
To make your sunshine strong
I'm Jim damnit, your world and sun
So what I done you wrong
Forgive me and take me back
I don't care what's good for you
I'll lie to you with soul so black
Because that's what I do
You made the right choice baby, I'm no good for you.
God help me I do love you so.
Nervous jitters.......
Long talks........
Hours spent laughing.....
Time together........
Time together.......
Cold words......
Blaming the other....
Deafening silence...
Time alone.......
Waiting on phone calls...
Wondering what happened....
Crying myself to sleep.....
Time without you........
Loneliness........
Anger.........
Tears.......
Confusion....
Time........
keeps ticking.......
keeps moving forward.......
I'm left.....
Numb......
Time......
Healing.....
Just takes time......
To get over you.
