On Paper Thin

You squeal on clarinet I scratch on violin Difference between us Is paper thin? In Plato’s cave I crave your flesh Your shadow is all Desire can save. You squeal you say To me music play I scratch all day To you I pray These words we change Inked art to begin Inscribe loves mind On my paper thin.

Really enjoyed this one and especially likehow the title is woven in ... thanks so much for your recent comment ... I'd love to come and see the Emerald Isle but it would have to be by boat as I don't fly ... I imagine thats how my great grandparents came ... smile ... Have a great 2010, David and thanks for bringing your talent to the Soup!!
