Melissa,
All I can say Is Im coming back more often.,
depth unlayered...very good

Push away from the sorrow
that stifles your dreams…

Wow!! this is great stuff...I know what this is all about...been trap in a dark tunnel and hope for some light to come shine through for me......until one day someone said to me how can there be darkness if there is no light......and this is so true... this was even before I started to write poetry.....and Now I see my poetry as the light of my life.....and I must admit this is a very big healing time for me...

Love
Tinka

Melissa, as good as you write, I could hear the chains rattling before I started reading. Melissa, for a moment you were trapped in a dark place in time. A lonely dungeon of the heart. But my Princess fo poetry, nothing can keep you down long. You fly so high in all you right. Bill
Would you look in on the poem I wrote, I have lost my Lady over it. :))))
"Fixated On Your Love" .... do you think this would make a good song?
