My Mote Of Dust
One can look at a cooling cinder
in awe
of it's once brilliance
The way I now look at your kinder

that in our cosmic neighbourhood
I was unique
Our mote of dust
is the only place
where love exists

About Me
About me
Married, Complex, Argumentative/Timid depending on whom I'm speaking to. Acid wit, honed by sarcasm. Could be intellectual if I wasn't so lazy. I am rich because i'm not lazy....see the theme developing here? Could be a good writer, If I wasn't...(you finish it off!)...who remembers the original line?
Location: Sheffield, ENGLAND

I don't respond to bullying
especially intellectual bullying.
