ambar (Jean Marie Diaz):
But if a writer does not entertain his readers, all he is producing is
paper dirty on one side.

amberle (Amberle S Ferrian):
I hear the ticking of the clock You don't know how long I have wanted
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark To touch your lips and hold you tight
I wonder where you are tonight Oh, you don't know how long I have
No answer on the telephone waited,
And the night goes by so very slow And I was going to tell you tonight
Oh, I hope it won't end, though But the secret is still my own
Alone And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Chorus:
Til now, I always got by on my own Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone How do I get you alone
Alone....Alone
You don't know how long I have waited,
And I was going to tell you tonight...
--Heart, "Alone"

axeface (Paul E Orr):
~/Games/moriachr/The last train is nearly due,
the underground is closing soon,
And in the dark, deserted station,
restless in anticipation,
A man waits in the shadows.
His restless eyes neatly scratching
all that they can touch are catching,
hidden deep within the pocket,
safe within its silent socket
he holds a colored crayon.
Now from the tunnel's stony womb
the carraige rides to meet the groom,
and opens wide and welcome doors,
but he hesitates, then withdraws
deeper in the shadows.
and the train is gone, suddenly
on wheels clicking silently
a gently tapping litany;
and he holds his crayon rosary
tighter in his hand.
Now from from his pocket quick he snatches
the crayon on the wall he slashes
deep upon the advertising
a single word a poem comprising;
four letters.
And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding
The poem's across the track resounding
Shadows by the exit light,
And his legs take pure and sleepless flight
To seek the breast of darkness, and be suckled by the night.
"Poem on the Underground Wall"
-Simon and Garfunkel

Time, time, time, see what's become of me
while I look around on my possiblities;
I was so hard to please.
Look around. Leaves are brown,
and the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
Hang on to your thoughts, my friend.
I forget the words.
