Clocking Out and Piss Poor - I dont know how you do it but your writing is stunning and has the kind of impact on the me that leaves me breathless and shaking my head in silent wonder.

I’ve been reading your stuff all over again and I totally enjoyed these pieces of the ones that I read today:<BR>
<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.07.20.16.30.9295">Without the Schizophrenia I'd Be Invisible</a><BR>
<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.07.22.12.27.17547">Why Paul???</a><BR>
<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.09.14.14.06.4579">Dumped</a><BR>
<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.15.16.53.20040">The Letter She Wanted to Send</a> (this is great!)<BR>
<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.17.13.30.27241">A Feel-Good Glimpse into the Future</a> (if only we could plan it all out and have it all, just the way we like)<BR>
And, <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.07.31.00.15.8790">$$$VeGaS$$$</a> was a fun read as well - one that I liked for the happy side in it. Most of the others touched me in different, deeper ways.

Thank you!.  I actually posted another piece fairly recently, but you're right, I have been MIA for a while.  Life, ya know?  Anywho, thank you kindly for the compliment.  I am very glad that you liked.  :)<BR>

You are so very sweet, girl.  Thank you very much.  *smile* I'm really happy that you liked this piece.  It was one of those pieces that had to be written, ya know? *smile* Thank you again!<BR>

aparijita:  thank you for sharing your emotions.  I, too, cried when I wrote it.  My wife is something special (well beyond the body).  She is not the lucky one; I am.  No luck attributable to her -- she MADE this relationship happen in the beginning and she's done the most to keep it together. All work.<BR>
<BR>
scqueen:  you weren't suppose to tell anybody.  Now EVERYBODY will want to see what I see.<BR>
<BR>
Kase:  again, I am the lucky one.  She's allowed me to appreciate her in so many ways.<BR>
<BR>
cryingshame58:  "blessed"! Oh yeah.<BR>
<BR>
Misti, sweetest princess: I am happy to share the spirit of our relationship.  I keep the body and soul, though. <BR>
<BR>
elocution:  "my last poem" was a simple silly ditty ("A NEW WOMAN"<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2003.09.26.10.50.17159">A NEW WOMAN?</a>); hardly "beyond magnificent".  But if you say so, thanks.  Were you referring to my earlier piece, "To the Beauty of My Wife, Slowly" <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2003.09.24.20.08.20032">To the Beauty of My Wife, Slowly</a>?<BR>
<BR>
Thank you all for confirming that what I have is extra special.<BR>
<BR>
You're a great bunch,<BR>
