So much I don't understand... a slight of hand and slip of tongue a smile that stings a song unsung a careless wound a kiss that lies and eyes that kill a hope that dies a touch so fake a love untrue and all this pain that comes from you Eileen

Thank you, Justin. I've become a bit of a cynic. Sometimes there isn't a happy ever after. Funny....I always thought there was. I guess...I'm never too old to learn. Glad to have you visit. I hope all is well with you.

You are not the only one who does not understand everything, Eileen. We will forever be like the inquisitive children we were once, always asking questions, wanting to know; still, I'd rather keep on searching than being fed answers that make little or no sense. hugs // paul

I sometimes feel so gullible and naïve, Paul. I believe people. When I put my faith in someone...have that faith knocked about shatters me. I've learned to be more wary...the hard hard way. Lessons learned. If I trust someone...I like to think they are worthy of my trust. Oh well...I'm not perfect either, so I guess I have to cut people some slack and just keep searching for understanding...of my own heart and motives. Thanks for your lovely visit.

a deep sadness flows from these words . . . a hope that dies . . . that broke my heart. Your poems have such emotional power . . . 7 dear Little One.

Thanks, David. Don't worry over me. I'm Ok. I wrote this when I was really tired. I haven't been able to write lately...I spent a lont time on a write yesterday and I lost it. Then again today....and I lost that too. :( This is all I could manage. Tomorrow is another day...or maybe now. Hugs
