Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.
~Tallulah Bankhead

Any life, no matter how long and complex it may be, is made up of a single moment — the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.
~Jorge Luis Borges

Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
~Dolly Parton

Prewritten: tremor, beastly

~Greymane:  Bought and Paid For  (qif)

The beastly boys cannot deny the way she makes it shake
Every time she passes by they tremor in her wake
Captivating, beautiful and just a bit obscene
Every eye is focused on the dark stiletto queen
Ruby lips and leather clad with glitter in her hair
They gathered ’round her like she was the only woman there
The center of attention in a crowded smoky bar
It seems had failed to mention what was in her cookie jar
You see she wasn’t Feminine and soft as they had thought
Turns out she was a man and all her women’s wiles were bought

Impromptu: casualty, footfall

~Greymane: Casualty  (qif)

Silent footfalls treading paths where no one dares to go
Deserts blowing cold embrace where rivers never flow
Lonely roads through hostile lands breed casualties of fate
Somewhere on the open plains from here to where I wait
Comfort called me home behind the premise of my pain
In hopes my blind confusion found a way to keep me sane
I laid my love in shadows when the best of me had died
I found myself in bed that night pretending I could hide

~

~Greenie: Woe or Foe  (ei)
Marching boots with untended roots; racing heart, unprotected ingénue

~GaryBob: ~G-Impromptu-B~ (Part 2 qif)

Look deep within your soul my child
And there below you’ll someday find
A verdant world of unknown wild
Halfway between your heart and mind

No uninvited darkness there
Ephemeral casualty
Gypsy footfalls around the fair
Time’s everlasting amnesty

So if you’re ever on the run
Though you take yourself far and wide
You’ll only reach one conclusion
That true soul searching starts inside
