"The Price Of Admission..."

Part of the Chapbook - "The Echoes Of Thunders"

One can care, but takes two to share.
The price of admission is always ...due, ya know?

"The Price Of Admission..."

I never hear you
you wait
out of hearing...
out of - having.

...And the tears
- so pale, quiet and frail,
and my fingertips just trace
so softly and lightly...
and each nail edges and slides -
my heart ...our 'time.

..........

crying...
- just beyond my reach
out of living...
- everything I can only dream - having.

so - flavor my world
-- silly-sad, ...dark and empty...
-- that Cheshire grin
held within
finds
your cheek, your life ...our 'time.

IS the price of our admission...

Hmm, you're making me think again, Chris. Your writing needs my comments and my writing needs your comments to be complete. You are the most unusual writer Chris, love it!
