By Not Telling



Somewhere along this stroll down the path

Before we got to the Garden, us ones

Went through a gate whose brambled aftermath

Branched off toward varying destinations

We decided we would go together

After some little hurt and fighting chose

A path and found some pretty places were

Worth lying down together in, or pose

In a self-cariacature amusing

each other. Softly tied your thigh to mine

With a silk tie, stumbling along, using

Reciprocal radar to guage our minds

At each choice of direction, though shouted

Our hearts so loudly as to leave reason

Suspect. Brambles tore away our costume

Secrets, so come we now to this season

Where innocence we no longer presume.

Fair enough, I say

Untie the tie and strip the leaf away

Down before you I lay

Wait to see if you will stay

I know I can't make you and wouldn't if I could

But please conider staying, I really think you should

The Hardest Part of Love

Dont you just absolutely hate it when someone calls you dear, I know I do

if I did hate it, I would certainly not address you that way. I will delete my comment forthwith and redo. Here:

"Go then, Brenda. I will still be here."

\Brenda Scully  says:

i am going, might be back when I am in a better mood, we will see if you are still here, maybe you will be at the pool

Not Telling  says:

Farewell! I think I'll avoid the pool. I kind of embarrassed myself there.

Well, then, sleep well. Personally I take my display as a sign of good health.

Dont let that one talk to you like that you will be a famous poet one day, and everybody will spoil you....... I will spoil you now, but your heart is elsewhere x

Perhaps I will be a famous "not telling." I hope these lowly works will live on as a monument to my love, who deserves to be remembered as the beautiful, loving, generous and sensual person she is.

Miss Take  says:
