COOL RUNNINGS


COOL RUNNINGS


Cool runnings      warm wantingsa disparity of hearts quick lying       slow dying -of worlds far apart light longings      dark deceptionsrampant rejections from the start. lost innocence      found fearfulness -a cruel betrayal of Love's art. BjR  13 July '09

Boni

This one draws you in and pulls you down till i had a feeling of dread in my gut reading it ... lost innocence found fearfulness - a cruel betrayal of Love’s art. I wanted to cry at those words they are so true , beautiful Boni in all its sadness it shines ... cant find fault maybe someone with a trained eye can but I cant I loved it the bold words make a great statement .. love it all Love Jayne night night ...
