I thought I'd start this off but I expect to see others posting as well. Don't leave me hanging.

I thought my life was over, felt like a haunted shell
Surely my heart could not survive a trip through all that hell
I never would have guessed that life could start anew
I never would have dreamed that I would find a friend like you
To have my heart recovered, all its bloody wounds were healed
To find that my love had not died, only hid me in a shield
You stripped away my armor, with just a tender touch
Your kiss, your love, your sweet caress, things I needed oh so much
I know we never planned for this, some things just have to be
I found a love inside of you, that found a love in me


Dali

Very good Dali. I will not leave you hanging I will get someting posted here soon.

Is this poem for Miss X?!

SPIRIT

That's a beautiful poem Dali!!

Now because I'm not a poet but a talespinner would it be ok to post a story or two? And mine believe it or not are non-fiction and true to life.

Spirit - Ummmmm, love is an awful strong word. miss X and I like each other a lot and are taking our time to get to know each other, and I think we are both happy with the direction our relationship is going. I can tell you that she knows how I feel about her, and it is because of her that I feel comfortable writing again and posting what I write, but we want to take things slow, and get to know each other and not make a mistake. I think (hope) she would agree with that.

Thanks, MJ

that sounds pretty familiar

Sure scoutmom, I think any writing that is our own would be good here. It will help our friends here see another side of us.

I will hopefully post something tomorrow. I need to let my mind think on that a bit before I write something or else it won't come out right.

Miss X must be pretty special and I believe that Dali explains himself very well.

:balloon: :balloon: :balloon: :balloon:

what sounds familiar, are you talking to miss X behind my back, in front of my face. LOL

OK that answers that. This is a short story about the word love and when is the right time to use it. It was an email I sent after a certain someone had used the word in a greeting and the pure mental chaos it caused me shortly after.

EPISODE 1
Well, it all started when I went to visit my Friend Bugs downstairs to fill her in on my weekend of meeting you. She laughed at my giddiness and inability to perform the most basic of tasks. We then entered a discussion about all the crazy feelings you get when you enter a relationship. The walking on air, breathlessly waiting for the phone to ring, not being able to concentrate on breathing, let alone anything else. She then got into saying how all of that was just infatuation and that true lasting feelings were something that grew in time and how infatuation can be blinding sometimes. We then went on to say how it was great we met but not to let feelings get out of the realm of reality. In other words slow the **** down stupid.
So taking her words of wisdom I proceed to go upstairs and try as I might start the work day before turning on the computer. Can I do it....no. My brain has seemed to have lost all sense of reason and logic. I start this mantra of "I'm not going to turn on Yahoo" I repeat it over and over again, .as I proceed to log onto yahoo. Ok no Mr. X, good. Maybe if I act quick I'll be able to run out of the office while I still have a chance, and start my day. Then "knock, knock, knock Mr. X in da hooouse" woo hoo as I start to do the wigger dance around the office. Then as quickly as he appeared poof he goes all grey and invisible. I'm thinking ok he's under control, he�s going to concentrate on work, good for him. I don't have to let him know that I saw him pop in like that, let it go Heidi, let it go. But nooOOOoooooo I have to send an email. Yep go wake up that sleeping bear, poke the 'ole beehive, dress like a sheep and go play dances with wolves. So needless to say another day goes by on the keyboard, with no work done. I say to myself ok we'll have to talk about this. I mean I just can't go on this way. I need my job, I have responsibilities dammit, I have to hold back the levee, hold the fort, man the watchtower etc, etc, etc.
So I go back to what Bugs said about infatuation. Yes, I must bring this up tonight. Feelings are very out of control. I think to myself ...( actually I've been thinking all of this to myself as the animals have told me repeatedly that they do not give a rats furry butt about my issues and I should keep my thoughts to myself)...Now Heidi, you know what�s going on here deep in the back of your mind. You've seen all the signs, and felt all the feelings before. Are you just building this guy up based on some glimmer of a long lost feeling of love. Are you clinging on to the idea that maybe you've been given a second chance here. No, no, no I say all defiantly, I'm not that dumb. I would know the difference. But secretly I have to wonder if I would.
Mr. X is showing all the symptoms and warning signs. It seems that cupid has just gone all nuclear on his a**. Maybe he's felt this way before, maybe not. One thing�s for sure is that he has been through the emotional ringer for many years and for many reasons and will this last or could this just be the first hope of a relationship he's had in a long time. Maybe he needs to experience the incredible let downs that you have in order to be able to see the difference and know exactly what it is he's looking for. "No" I say "we've talked about this at length I don't think that's the issue". Well maybe not but isn't it a bit too soon to say for sure? "Yep I guess your right thank you for setting me straight Dr. Heidi" I'm just afraid maybe that four letting word may accidental fall out of his mouth sooner than it should, Lord knows that boy ain't got no self-control in this area. Well maybe I'll talk to him about it tonight, I'm sure it's way too soon to worry about it but better to just be upfront about this. Let him know there has to be a minimum relationship time before that word can be used without the threat of misuse. So what's the minimum time? I don't know, I was asking you Ms. Smarty Pants, the one that thinks she got pearls of wisdom coming out of her butt. I know, I'll ask Bugs tomorrow what she thinks.

EPISODE 2: The Saga Continues

Well the evening conversations I'll skip seeing as how you were there, I don't see much of a need to go repeating the whole night. Except to say that I felt things were calm and collected enough that I was worried for nothing about that little four letter word and that was a discussion we could save for a later time.
Then........................................
HOLY S***! There it is, First email of the day, right at the top of the page. You stupid a** you should have listened to your gut and had this talk last night. Do you ever do what your gut tells you nooOOOooooo, you have to second guess everything. Ok now, don't panic. Nothing serious really, just a simple term of endearment. He's been trying them out like shoes to see what fits. No big deal really. I'm sure it was just a fluke he just happened to use that word. Let's just try to continue on with the day and get some work done. Do you think you can handle that? Yes, I am She-ra, I can do anything.

{ one hour later.....}



MOTHER ****ER! There it is again!!!!!!! Now what? Code Orange High Alert OMIGOD! Must go see bugs she'll set me straight. Drop her an email that I must talk to her, she says give her a minute and she'll be right back. Ok you can wait, no big deal. Pace.....pace.....pace....ding ding email oh good she's back I must go. So I run downstairs to heck with the elevator, I mean it's only 10 floors. I get to receiving and the doors shut, no signs of Bugs. I've been abandoned, now what so I do. Should I go back upstairs, do I wait? AAAAAAAAAGH! Oh good she just had to pee, thank God.

So Bugs, remember our conversation yesterday? "Yes Heidi I do. So What's up Doc?" (the author retains the right to creative license in this conversation for the sake of timing and flow) Well how do you know when it's been long enough to know how true and lasting your feelings are? Do you wait one month, six, a year, before you start bringing up that word? " Oh I don't know some people feel love at first sight" I think to myself wtf. Thanks for the help, not! I need concrete numbers here not abstracts. Back upstairs, mission failed. Well Heidi you do know it's getting to be that time, maybe your hormones are making you a bit emotional and irrational. "Well why don't you just shut the H*** up and go find some cliff to jump off, all the help you've been. I mean even Jiminey Cricket was a better source of wisdom and he's a damn food source. Shoot! I took too long to answer that last email now he�s going to think I've gone all weird from it. HEEEEEELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO sister what would you call the last 20 minutes? Well I had better tell him I'll write an email explaining everything before this gets way out of control. Then maybe I can get some work done.


To be continued...

Does the above answer your question Dali?

I'm getting all twitterpated just reading it again. Like re-living the whole experience. BTW The word is more than fitting at this point and I'm in fear of wearing it out sometimes.

Who came up with X of Miss X?

Dali-ism

I believe scoutmom did.
