Euay Pauline,
  You asked for what I was going to give.  I do have happy poems and was
going to end my postings with them.

DokMai

Before you
11/24/99
~~~~~~~~~~
before you
there was unrelenting
pain
...
before you
there was loneliness
of sorrow
...
before you
I could not
hope
without
disappointment
....
before you
my dreams brought
as much pain as
reality did
...
before you
I could not speak my thoughts
I could not speak my feelings
...
before you
I only screamed inside
never to release
one sound
...
before you
I never knew
tears could be
from joy.
...
before you
I never knew love
and never felt
its innocence
kiss me
and embrace me
with tenderness
with sweetness
...
my life before you
was not a life at all
...
now I live and feel
without needing permission
to live or feel.
