The artist within knows the function
For that which the mind needs to be
As footsteps they fall without thinking
Trusting this wellspring that feeds misery

If I were to render a mirror
Into the reflection perhaps I'd see
The illusion of life was so painted
With brush strokes that chose to believe

In my soul which guided direction
The movement had came easily
Suddenly swift though reality shattered
The dream of a heart meant not to be

Of the few times I have offered
Another the chance to see the
Inside of this man I was given
Betrayal of which that can only leave

Trust placed into this heart's perception
At a loss for what can be achieved
When the hope of what is to come
Is blinded by actions that bring memory

Back into the life as has always been
When the choice to let the heart lead
Closes the door connecting the mind then
The severed results are but pieces of me

I have not moved
I have not faltered
Your heart was leading fine love
And the mind was right in step
I am not sure what you mean
For me there is no illusion
Of all that we meant it to be
It still exists in my heart and mind
All of which still can be
I am lost in a sea of confusion
Of just what happened and where
Walking into walls and
gasping for one bit of air
Choices are made
not by me and
and certainly without my voice
A heart left in pieces
and wondering what its all for ...

Uh oh!!!
I wish this back together.
Both good in your writing.
I wish this back together.

me too

Michael, talk to me ... please ...

Hugs you both, please talk to each other, its Christmas eve. Sending you each a cup of cocoa and leaving the room so you two can talk.

So sorry ArtGurl, tis the season for finding the reasons that mean the most to us. Hoping everything turns out as it was meant to be.

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true



Look up ... we see the same ones

You wrote these words before too creative one ... and thousands like them ... so what is different ... because I really don't know...

I am not fluent in mental telepathy ... whatever conversations you have been having the last several weeks have occurred within your own mind. Without my perspective ... and for all I know based upon a false premise...

Before you throw the baby away with the bath water I'd really like to have a conversation that I am actually part of...and outside of the threads would be nice...





Within this woman I so love
Are all the colors in a rainbow
Which reached out touching me
With a pure love all should know

I once sat and wondered how
Had she found me once again
Then my heart rested with ease
An open door she had came in

Then looked around and knew
This man who had become
A little harsher from a life
From which he had begun

To seperate from older truthes
As my heart spoke out to her
She returned familiar love
As though we never were

Strangers living on this earth
Two from different lands
Whose heart's had long known
The other's helping hands

You see as this goes on
We learn more everyday
Reflections of the heart
That which never went away

Although the distance spans
From one land to the next
Her heart is home to mine
In this truth I am blessed


Her spirit's beauty conquers all
That I have ever come to know
The greatest gift I could have
Has been the love she's shown

If I had the world to give
Then given to her it would be
My reward would be her smile
It seems effortless you see

For within my heart I knew
That there was something more
Than what I learned in this life
That true love was not a chore

This vestige of the truth had
Hold of me from within
As the deepest of my love
Had remembered my best friend

And her love she left with me
Despite departure long ago
So in the future when returned
To her heart it would know

uh-hmmmm

(clears throat again and again as the lump refuses to budge)

Love and light to both knowing you both have the ca-hone-ays, intelligence, and heart to get through whatever life throws!
