    it is so......quiet.....
    hushed, now listen to nature
    silent reflections
    "It's so mysterious, the land of tears."

    Silent reflections
    Don't give heed to my bald pate
    It is distractiing
    It may seem somehow inane.
    I wish to know all of you not just online, but on life.

    It is distracting
    That which i rather ignore
    but yet give heed to

    It is distracting
    a flash of light in the sky
    the sun winks at us.

    the sun winks at us
    through a veil of colored clouds
    partially ecliped
    "It's so mysterious, the land of tears."

    partially eclipsed
    behind fancy fallacies
    comes the naked truth

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    comes the naked truth
    surprised eyes wide, realize
    caught with his pants down.

    caught with his pants down
    with no script, no excuses
    Romeo he ain't

    Romeo he ain't
    awkward as a goose in skates
    haphazard romance

    Haphazard romance
    tempts me like drug addiction
    give it one more chance

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    give it one more chance
    win, lose, it's fifty-fifty
    ante up, I'm in.

    Strip pokers fun;
    See the alcohol flow and,
    See the passions flare.

    hearts are everything
