Where is Jax in all of this?

She should be sitting around the coffee table with us.

The Legacy Of Love
by RainbowSlider

Strong enough to be your trusted friend.
To give you the answer which you depend.
Not letting you go with egg on your face.
Because I wouldn't want you to be a disgrace.

I cared for you and wanted you to look good.
Though many times you did misunderstood.
Your words on my conscience would weigh.
But I really didn't know what I could say.

You would take what I said the wrong way.
It will all make sense to you but not today.
After I am gone my words will haunt you.
You will then know what I said will was true.

Write me a legacy that I will never even see.
Let them know that once you did know me.
Let them decide if I was your trusted friend.
Tell them that love never really does end.

Tell them I was strong enough by your side.
Tell them I held my head up with much pride.
Scream at all the shadows till you are horse.
After friendship and love comes the divorce.

there you are...=o)

Hi. :)

Contradiction Of Love
by RainbowSlider

Strolling through the shadows I pondered.
Upon many things my mind wondered.
I was in a most altruistic introspection.
I looked at contradiction without protection.

I could think of some things but not others.
Unclear thoughts was what I discovered.
Some love I must have taken for hate.
Things had changed since the first date.

My mind had evolved but not my heart.
Compassion was later to take a part.
Indifference and intolerance had to go.
Much vulnerability came to me though.

I traded my heart of stone for one of flesh.
It jaded my ego but love was refreshed.
Somehow I had to equal myself to you.
So many a things I had to go through.

But I would not trade any of my pain.
Because then I would lose you, again.
No matter the contradictions that persist.
I know now that love will always exist.

along for the ride
we meet kaleidoscopes
each in contrast
wonderful compliments
these
simple turns
take us along...
mathematical infinites
pieces of shades
and tints bring richness
and, depth of heart
weeps and sings

after the pain
release and understanding
freedom to feel
everything acute
then, shared among
the kaleidoscopes purpose
we reflect or pasts
and we catch glimpses of future
possibilities vast
encompassing truth
in pain, in smiles
and, in love...

You spoke so well. I understand all of it.

Thanks for expressing it superbly.

Thank you for understanding. :)

In A World Without Rhyme
by RainbowSlider

In a world without rhyme
I just existed in my prime.
I felt like such a mime
for I was biding my time.

In a world without verse
I always would rehearse.
There was just commerce.
I felt like I would burst.

In a world without thought
as a gilded bird I was caught.
I tried to do what I was taught.
but everything was so taut.

With poetry I was reborn-ed.
Today, I don't feel forlorn.
Like a letter that was purloined
the human race I have joined.

I have gained back my sight
for I have came into the light.
I am not afraid of the night.
Everything will be alright.

Sea Of Sand
by RainbowSlider

I walked the windy sea of sand.
I wanted to quench my thirst.
I tried so hard to understand.
I knew then I wasn't the first.

I was in a large hourglass.
I saw the desert of forever.
I knew this must surely pass.
I thought we would be together.

I saw mirages as they danced.
I heard the howling wind echo.
I knew my sight was enhanced.
I felt the sand against me blow.

I tried to find a sense of direction.
I waited for the night to come.
I felt myself drawn to inspection.
I knew that I was welcomed.

I took a bite of the cacti.
I wanted more to drink.
I watched Spirits float by.
I had this and more to think.
