What is in a name...



Romeo asks " what is in a name?"
Juliet would deny hers
But a rose would still smell sweet
if called by another.

Names hold magic
and power
if you would believe
that old wives speak truth.

But you have only to ask for mine
and I would give it to you...

I wish I knew that I could trust you. Just you and me.

max xavier said...

You can.

Oh, and thanks for the novella. It is a story I understand far too well.

I hope not from the receiving end.

max xavier said...

Indeed. Your story ends in a far better way, I promise. The right thing is not always the easiest.

Here's a dumb question. If you wear a watch do you still wear it with the face on the inside of your wrist?

max xavier said...

Yes, but it isnt often I wear one anymore.

I will say again that you are doing the right thing.Getting into messes are what people do best. The test of character is how you clean it up ;-)

To Hell with everybody else!

I never wish people to Hell. I am afraid I will have to go there one day myself, and I'd really not want to have to spend eternity with them.

Maybe we should go back to this? . . . or not

max xavier said...

maybe we should just go back to email ;-)

There is no harm in friendship. But the choice is ultimately yours.
