(with Carolyn´s permission to quote)
No cards
no stereotyped messages
with definite remarks
but red blood blossoms
I would have chosen for you
I would have given you
If you had let me.
There´s still passion for you
in my arms
in my fingers
and my smiles.
The red blood of me
and the cool blue of you
restrain
You have made me a reluctant pupil of restraint
and I have learnt well

You have made me an unwilling pupil of restraint
and I have learnt well

I went through that, and found it very satisfying in the long run, in fact .

Sometimes I enter to much in a hurry but I want to say something I was to say before .....This poem came out of Carolyn´s poem. I did some changes because it remembered me a personal situation I lived in 1992 . I could not help to write taking some of her words.....
