you might be partly right, angel! but if you gather all contributed details there's
definitely a chance of appraising forum users. there are many aspects worth considering, particularily when things like art are presented. if you have a look at all these "traces" i'm pretty sure that one might gain a certain impression about the character of the respective person! of course, on the web people can show themselves in another way as they are in real live. but in most cases i think, that there's a distinct expression in the way they present themselves in general. it's not that easy to pretend to be someone else as you really are, even on the web. you can either trust people in their "appearance" and rely on you personal experience in judging them or you would have to be VERY cautious and critical about everybody you're talking to in forums and such, because virtually anybody could have put up a "digital disguise". i prefer the first option. |

I, for one, am very naive. I tend to take people at face value no matter what, until it's too late. Even after it's too late, I have a difficult time believing that someone I know can be bad. I hate not believing in people. Without that, it doesn't seem like there could be anything worth being here for.
It's gotten me into very bad situations, and I've probably hurt myself more from it than gleaned anything good. So I tend to limit who I actually talk to in depth nowadays. Eventually, I will post something here again. For some reason, I haven't felt like contributing lately. It comes and goes. |

True, not being able to trust,
Nor to communicate in any other than "business" related way, May take it´s tull now & then - But then again, It is balancing on an edge either way, For trusting without limits usually ends up only into tears & melancholy (Thank you for increasing my vocabulary @Tai ) - So the choice usually has to be made, Whether to avoid the very possibility of getting hurt, but at the same time to wallow in a constant loneliness, Or to take the chances against the odds, risking much, and yet gaining the possibility of gaining so much more - And then, There´s the undefineable middleway, the one that neither wins nor loses dramatically - - Truth is a three edged sword? Anyways, I´ve never been able to understand, How a person can sing without music & yet to make that what is heard sound beautiful and balanced - You fall into that mystery - Write when you´ll wish again, We´ll listen |

I'm having a hard time sleeping, and that always means...
Poetry-posting time! This one is a little different. I can explain it if someone wants me to. Invisible Taciturn © 2001 Sleepless dreaming, In a land of floating marquees, An invisible taciturn appears: His unheard words freeze Strangely on a screen. Black and white phrasing; Hypnotized, I seek Perfect self-definition: That teasing oblique- An artful dodger. Heard, and ignored, Elusive unseen, And as the lighting fades, Surface reflections glean: Nothing of insight. Misunderstood, The connection weak; Two hearts pounding faintly: An interest-pique, Far distanced. "Hey, invisible taciturn, Tell me your name, And I will sing songs for you." But in silent shame, She slipped quietly away- The connection long ago Broken. |

She
© 2005 She dons grace Like shadows in the dark: Flickering, formless In silky pools of moonlight. Can it be grasped? The essence of the soul - The mind's-eye view Of the solitary child? She dons hope Like pebbles in the stream: Pushed blindly forward By a thousand unshed tears. Can it be granted? The wish for another - Walking oceans alone, Mocked by time himself? She dons wisdom Like snow in the summer: Unseen, distrusted - Melted by relentless sun. Can it be given? The strength to dream - Uncrushed reveries Fueled by secret fires? I wrote this just now. Don't ask. It's weak, but it can be reworked. |

Heh. I was going to make a reference to Cassandra, but then I thought:
Allusion is dead. Forget it. |

If you meant with it that it's not worth to rework the text above, I disagree. I for my part would like to see the modified, better version of it.
