No Not Me - Penned By Maurice Yvonne and Seren

No Not Me Did you think when I left I'd never answer my phone, ignore your messages, never speak to you again? Did you think I was that guy? I thought you knew me but it wasn't about me was it? How often have others disappeared? You were judging me as if I was them. I guess I can't blame you, life is not always kind. But not me, no not me. I'm not him, It's my actions represent me, define the man I am. Words lie and eyes aren't always an insight to every man. You can't always trust their smile. I bet the devil is an attractive male with an inert charm and not a horn in sight. You can't beat the sky in your own skin. If your a demon you groom flawlessly, dress like a king, with a look that's soft. The wolf doesn't tell the sheep "I'm here!" It's the guy with nothing to hide who is often misconstrued. Honesty has it's price. I don't blow dry my hair in the mirror. practice my reactions. I don't kiss up, my nose is clean. I don't always talk in a quiet melodic voice or hide my tears. When I say it's alright It just is. I didn't walk away, I had to leave but you can find me. For you I am always here! Did you think when I left I would disappear? Never! I hold you dear. I'm always here. No not you You would never just walk away Away from people or things you love You don't always say what you feel in spoken words, yet you shout out your feelings in written words, no lies are here, you write from the heart. Your love holds no bounds, you love for life, You say that your eyes are not an insight to your soul, Yet when the light goes out, I know your dying inside To walk away, no not you, to hide for a time, Maybe, .

I am inspired by this dance by two; and it's true, "Eyes are not the only insight to one's soul" consistent patterns of behavior, plus... bless you both.

What a moving piece, I am touched by both of you. Maurice said it would be a short time and I wexpect he will be true to what he has said. I too need a break from time to time to recharge.

seren, this poem with Armand is amazing. so full of sincere feelings. It shows your inner souls. Both of you did so well with it. I enjoyed the way Armand contrasted himself against the devil. He is nothing like the devil, thank goodness for that. And I loved how you responded to his message of friendship. SEVEN

I've been wondering where Maurice is...and why he left. I left a note on his poem saying he'd leave. It left me SO incredibly sad. I'm glad to see you are here to post with Seren. It's a lovely write. I'm glad you still have connections to PS. Hope you come back...
