see me
see me
but don't see me;
see the image that I
offer to the world. Inside I'm
a fake
a fake
can only hide
behind false intentions
when we allow our eyes to be
blinded.

it stung so badly that
tears washed away colors and form

my head and nodded not
answering. I didn't hear the
question!

even questions,
what we ask says much more
of what we know or think we know,
do you?
do you
ever wonder
who someone really is
and then quickly put it away
for keeps
"For keeps,"
earnestly said,
palm outstretched, heart in hand.
"I give you this, trusting in your
love's truth."
love's truth
is a different
sort from scholars, lawyers
or even those who peruse the
Bible
Bible
did not suit you,
friend, too controversial,
you feared, so I will leave, instead,
parsnip!
Parsnip,
lightly sauteed
in fragrant olive oil
suits me oh-so-much better than
Bible.

That's a can of parsnips

lovers most of all. Don't forget
yourself

love, bible, roots,

We mend
what we have torn
or cracked or neglected.
But still, a little scar remains

shall we argue?
shall we disdain the whole?
shall we sit in judgement hearts cold

love changes us. Combined;
I cool your flames, you turn me to
water.

It's all i drink
waiting for something else
perhaps a soft drink, or iced tea
sounds good
Sounds good,
but really is
it? These advertisers
could sell you anything, even
parsnips!
Parsnips?
Oh, verdammte
parsnips! Have we nothing
else to amuse us with? Such as
love? sex?

Oh God!!........my turn is very hard on me ...but i can't wait writing...lol:)
Nest egg

is that carrot
I see before me? The
tip turned towards my lips. Come let
me crunch...

not and yet I eat thee

you are free but
wonder what price freedom
brings? The lessons of history
are harsh.
are harsh

my turn and squelch effort
to produce an answer to my

mainly
because the one

question!
question
me all you want,
but am I really all
you want to take on your picnic?
