NEVER
Never ask for a kiss, just take it.
Never ask for a hug, just give it.
Never ask do you love me? Say I love you.
Never say I can't live without you, say I live for you.
To A Daughter Leaving Home
When I taught you
at eight to ride
a bicycle, loping along
beside you
as you wobbled away
on two round wheels,
my own mouth rounding
in surprise when you pulled
ahead down the curved
path of the park,
I kept waiting
for the thud
of your crash as I
sprinted to catch up,
while you grew
smaller, more breakable
with distance,
pumping, pumping
for your life, screaming
with laughter,
the hair flapping
behind you like a
handkerchief waving
goodbye.
by Linda Pastan
a rough draft before a masterpiece
God created men first, cause you always make a rough draft before a masterpiece!
would you want to live?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love makes life so confusing
but without love would you want to live?

Where nothing could be heard
She was standing in the middle of the road
screaming her feelings out in the air
Where nothing could be heard
Praying that she would see a sign
before the memories killed her.
screaming her feelings out in the air
Where nothing could be heard
Praying that she would see a sign
before the memories killed her.
