    I am in awe.. I'm speachless.. I've never heard some of the words spoke but I understood them all.. I want to say I know most of these lines as if they came from my own mouth.. My heart and soul..

    "86 is for the year i came out, first step towards death" This is perhaps the line that spoke me the most.. But it could be taken either as a negative or as a positive.. For me Death is a positive because one can not live until one actually dies.. And the memories of our time is to be tabled in the stars above and you will live again and forever for time is nothing but an illusion of chaos and pain, of joys and of rememberance..

    I don't know what else to say here but this poem is an epic in it's own.. One I will have to print out and hang in a simple frame so not to take from it's beauty.. I get a clear picture when I look read and feel this work.. Would you mind if I tried a hand at painting it??

      i would be honored if you did that! i don't know what to say. yeah, this whole poem...its simple...but its life and that's all it really is. i don't know what to say. thank you so much. you are too kind to me. i'm glad my words can connect to others. sometimes i think that my words are empty and alone and no one will quite understand them. but knowing someone does makes a difference somehow.

      thank you dear. so much.

        I see your name and your online.. lol..

        It would be my pleasure to paint for you.. And I don't paint for anyone anymore.. And I do understand probally about everything that comes from your soul.. Probally because my poetry is the same.. I dont think it's worth the time it takes to read it as most of my poems are quite lengthy.. huh.. My messages seem to have that same problem..

        *hugs*
