Little golden girl of mine, rosy cheeks and eyes that shine

Golden sunlight in your hair, elfin grace beyond compare

Lilting laughter on your lips, magic in your fingertips.....

He'll Have To Go (bbm art) ( torry 28)

" I'm sorry Jack, but I can't get the time off in August."

" See you in November? Jack?"

"You're kind a quite tonight Jack,
something on your.mind."

Jack? Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low

And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go.

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he 'll have to go

You can't say the words I want to hear
While you 're with another man

Do you want me answer yes or no
Darling I will understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell that friend there with you
He'll have to go.

"Jack , I had to call, can't lose you,
Quit my job, Love ya bud, always have."

" That's all I ever want, Ennis, you.
Just you. I love you so much.

Song by Jim Reeves

The rest I forced Ennis and Jack to say.
Happy Weekend everyone.

It's Over ( bbm art ) ( torry28 )

2009-09-15T22:44:35Z

I have the girls this month, I'm sorry Jack.

Sure, Ennis, see you next month, I guess.

I'm calling to tell you it's over,
yes cowboy, you're now free to go.
You're saying you sorry you hurt me,
But you hurt me much more then you know.
You're asking me where this call comes from.
Oh, I hope you won't end up here.

I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
On the bar stool, not doing so well.

The floor has a carpet of sorrows,
Yet no one can weep in the aisle.
And they say someone broke the bar mirror,
With only the ghost of a smile.
The hands on the clock never alter,
For things never change in this place.
There's no present, no past, no future,
We're the ones who have lost in loves race.

Hello Lil' Darlin ! !                                        Ennis??


                        The next morning

I've had my share of life's ups and down
But fate's been kind the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Oh, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Between each line of pain and glory
You're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh...there have been times when times were hard
But somehow we made it through.
For each moment I spend away from you
There is a moment just loving you.
Cause you the best thing that ever Happened to me.

First song by Jim Reeves
Second song by Ray Price

If you want to know what happened between Hello Lil' Darlin and the next morning?
Well... can you keep a secret? Me too.

Happiness to all,
Torry

Happy Birthday Siri

                    Jonathan or Jack? I need to know

                             Can you keep a secret? Me too.

Happy Birthday Siri I hope you like your presents.
Love, Torry

Till The Rivers All Run Dry BBM art torry28

2009-09-04T08:33:21Z

Till the rivers all run dry

Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you

I know sometimes you may wonder, from little things I say and do

But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you, 'cause I need you.
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you

Too many times I don't tell you, Too many things get in the way;

And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me in every way

Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you.

What Season is Your Soul Connected To?

2009-09-03T01:42:03Z

Your Soul Is Connected to the Fall

You are a somewhat sensitive soul with a tough exterior. You are street smart and wise about the world.
You have the heart of a poet, but you're not too eager to let anyone else see it.

You are very creative and deeply talented. You are still looking for the perfect outlet for your expression.
You embrace change and think the cycles of life are beautiful. You don't shrink away from the darker elements of life.

What Season is Your Soul Connected To?

I adore fairytales, imagined and not so imagined characters.
                                  A happy forever love.

As the remaining Celtic tribes struggled against the Roman invaders.
Young Prince Conor discovered his father's tribe has been overtaken by
power-hungry King Carl and his evil wife Queen Britany.
As Conor flees his land to find refuge in the land of his fathers beloved friend
and his daughter Miranda, he meets someone who will lead him to a destiny,
he never expected.

Dastan: " I do not wish to harm you,      Conor: " You have a high opinion of
but if you reach for that sword,               your own swordsmanship,
I will stop you before you stab me."        Dastan of the Desert Sands.
                                                                       Shall we put it to the test?"

Dastan: " Why risk damaging to such fine weapons, when we could settle the
matter with a wager of skill, a throw of the knife?"

Conor: " I accept the challenge, Prince Dastan."

Dastan: " You seem to know who I am, but you have failed to give me equal
pleasure to know yours."

Conor: " Forgive me, my Lord. Conor, Prince of the Celtic tribe.
Your dagger, it has lost all its sand, everyone knows the legend of the sand,
even as far north as my home."

Dastan: " A dagger that can turn back the time."

Conor: " What else does the legend say?"

Dastan: " Only that it is worthless now that it is empty."

Conor: " Do not dispair my Prince, I know someone who can be of help."

Dastan: " You do, Then take me to him."

Conor: " It is a she, Sir."

Dastan: " Surly you jest, a wench? no doubt a sorceress in the bargen."

Conor: " Yes a woman, but no sorceress, she is of noble birth, a Princess."

Dastan: " Very well then, take me to your princess."

Conor: " She is not my Princess, my Lord, although our fathers wished it to
be so. The female loveliness does not pleasure me as much as the sight of
the male figure."

Dastan: " Friend, those are words that warm my heart more then the sun
could heat the shifting sands of the desert. Come closer,
I wish to see the color of your eyes."

Conor: " They are just plain as the earth you stand upon, not like the brilliant
blue which has reached the depth of my soul."

Dastan: " Nothing plain about the earth my friend, it gives life, it is warm,
changes with the seasons but is loyal, loving, a mistery but eager to be
explored to be caressed taken care of, it takes but gives back so much more.
Come, I will show you."

The traveled for several days towards their destany when Dastan suggested
a nights rest. The lush trees, a carpet of colorful blooms the surounding mountains
and the cristal clear lake a welcome haven for two tired travelers.
Conor was in full agreement.
They spend the day chasing each other in the madows, swim and catch some fish for
their evening meal. Loved each other and held each other throughout the night.

"ANA behibak, my Prince.    "Moleannan, tha gaol agam ort.
I love you, in my language." Beloved, I love you too."

                       Conor: " Ani shel ahuvi sheli."

                      Dastan: " What does it mean, Conor?"

Conor : " I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine."

The Fisherman and his Bait art torry28

2009-07-15T01:46:11Z

Not to long ago Siri 2000 wrote a short story called
"The Novice"
When I first read it in German I loved it right away,
after Debra and I translated it into English it was clear
everyone loved it and wanted more.

Here is my lure I'm casting out to Siri and hope I snare her
and won't release her until she at least tries and give us
another shot at the Fisherman and his Bait, to me they are both
fisherman angling to catch the others heart. I would love to read about it.
wouldn't you?

Happy Birthday Camillar

"You think, Jack?"

"You bet, friend, always."

"You right , I'm so glad I have you Jack."

Me too, we have to thank Aunt Camilla
with out her we may never have met."

"Yea, Jack, love you ."

"Love you too Ennis, always and forever."

Happy Birthday
Dearest Camilla,
Sorry about the cake, hope you enjoy your day

Crying in The Rain ( bbm can art ) ( torry28 )

2009-07-13T07:06:47Z

I'll never let them see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain.

If I wait for cloudy skies
They won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
They'll never know I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain.

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never wash away my misery
But since were not together
I'll look for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope they'll never see

Someday when my cryings done
I'm gonna wear as smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but til then Lil Darlin'
They'll never hear me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain.

Best Friends ( bbm au art ) ( torry 28 )

2009-07-08T20:12:43Z

I have been feeling very low lately, I needed something to
pull me back up. A happy Ennis and Jack always does.

You placed gold on my finger

You brought love like I've never known
You made a home for our children

And to me, a reason to go on

.

You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all, you're my best friend.

When I need hope and inspiration
You're always strong when I'm tired and weak
I could search this whole world over
You'll still be everything I need.

You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all, you're my best friend.

Happy 4th of July everyone.

I lost someone very dear to me in this ongoing war, he only had one more week left to serve,
but God chose another path for him.and this poem took me back to what his sacrifice means
to me and why I cherish America and all the men and woman who are in daily peril just to keep
us safe and fight for our freedom. My thanks to them all and may God keep them safe.

Daddy's Poem

Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she couldn't wait to go.
But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home.
Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say.
What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today.
But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone.
And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all.
About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls.
There were daddies along the wall in back, foe everyone to meet.
Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seat.

One by one the teacher called a student from the class.
To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly past.
At last the teacher called her name, every child turned to stare.
Each of them was searching, a man who wasn't there.

"Where's her daddy at?' She heard a boy call out.
'She probably doesn't have one,' another student dared to shout.
And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say,
'Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste his day.'

The words did not offend her, as she smiled up at her Mom.
And looked back at her teacher, who told her to go on.
And with her hand behind her back, she slowly began to speak.
And out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique.

'My Daddy couldn't be here, because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be...since this is such a special day.
And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy, and how much he loves me so.

He loves to tell me stories he taught me to ride my bike.
He surprised me with pink roses and taught me to fly a kite.
We used to share fudge sundaes, and ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see him... I'm not standing here alone.

'Cause my daddy's always with me, even though we are apart
I know because he told me... he'll forever be in my heart'
With that, her little hand reached up, and lay across her chest.
Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath her favorite dress.

And from somewhere there in the crowd of dads... her mother stood in tears.
Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years.
For she stood up for the love of a man no longer in her life...
Doing what was best for her, doing what was right.

And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd.
She finished with a voice so soft...but a message clear and loud.
'I love my daddy very much...he's my shining star.
And if he could, he'd be here...but heaven's just too far.

You see he is a Marine and died just this past year.
When a roadside bomb hit his convoy and taught Americans to fear.
But sometimes when I close my eyes...it's like he never went away.'
And then she closed her eyes...and saw him there that day.
And to her mother's amazement, she witnessed with surprise.

A room full of daddies and children, all starting to close their eyes.
Who knows what they saw before them...who knows what they felt inside.
'I know you're with me Daddy,'...to the silence she called out.
And what happened next made believers, of those once filled with doubt.

Not one in that room could explain it...for each of their eyes had been closed.
But there on the desk beside her...was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.
And a child was blessed, if only for a moment..by the love of her shining star.
And given the gift of believing...that heaven is never too far.

Leaving For The Flatlands (canon) (bbm art) ( torry28)

2009-06-24T02:40:25Z

Sweetly flows the water from the mountain
Softly falls the rain upon the leaves
Gently blows the breeze among the cedars
Quietly my heart is on its knees.

How could anything in all creation
Be more beautiful then all I see
With it all my heart is not rejoicing
Because the one I love is not with me.

Somewhere in between us was a difference
Not we or all this beauty could secure
And I know now my heart will ache forever
And I wonder if this mountain can endure.

So I'm leavin' for the flatlands
Goin' back where I was conceived
Goin' back where nobody knows the difference
This mountain knows too much about me.

I thought it was written up in heaven
That you would be with me and I with you
Sun and moon and stars must feel the difference
They're wishin' there was somethin' they could do.

So I'm leavin' for the flatlands
Goin' back where I was conceived
Goin' back where nobody knows the difference
This mountain knows too much about me.
This mountain knows too much about me....

Shadows of The Night.

It's 3 in the morning,
the rain like butterfly kisses
And sleet caresses the roof.
And I am absent sleep
I watch a fly seek the sun
Inside the shade of a black desk lamp.
And remove it with the flick of my finger.
It is gone into the long dark night.

As go the shades of thousands
Round the globe
In the early morning hours.
Empty, Empty their minds. Empty their souls,.
Empty their bodies now.

Distracted by voices that shuffle in my head
I turn my eyes inward
Turn my mind outward
To feel the images of life.
And what some call,
The call of the dead.

I see souls leaving bodies in hospital rooms.
Some smile with relief.
Others fight the dread
Of the long dark night.

Their silent screams lay heavy
In the twilight world.
Between worlds
of ignorance and stifled minds.

Their bodies go still
Go cold
Go to ground.
Like cast off leaves
In the autumn shuffle
Such is life.

And in another hospital room
Or a savage hut
A woman with sweat on her brow
Her face contorted
Her belly engorged
By the fruit of love

Or was it lust?
Screams"Enough"
And breathes as hard or harder
Than the moment that brought her thus.
Her eyes too roll back inside her head
She shudders a last long breath.

And from her womb,
That still dark place of love
Into the light
Emerges life's Antidote to death.
A child
A boy
A girl
A soul
That died (they say)
In another body
Another time
A time long gone or yet to be
Or was it yesterday?

Thus, says a voice inside my head,
The spiral of life
Like the storming tornado
Or the autumn winds of change
Will tear leaves from the trees
That in the dawn of spring
Each soul for which we grieve
May live again.

Foe life goes on forever
In the ebbing and flowing
Tides of time.
Seeing thus, I welcome
The dawning light
For my inner visions
Have helped me through
The shadows of the night.

By Michael Knight

Miss you.

Broken Hearts ( canon ) ( bbm art ) ( torry28 )

2009-06-07T17:59:33Z

Coffee black, cigarettes,
start this day, like all the rest.
First thing every morning that I do,
is start missing you.

Some broken hearts never mend,
some memories never end,
some tears will never dry,
my love for you will never die.

Rendezvous in the night,
A willing woman to hold me tight,

But in the middle of love's embrace,
I see you face.

Some broken hearts never mend,
some memories never end,

Some tears will never dry,
my love for you will never die.

Wedding Dance (canon) (art) ( torry28 )

2009-05-24T23:13:51Z

This is a brief view of Alma Jr. and Kurt's wedding and the father, daughter dance.
I borrowed the characters from Anni, no disrespect meant to her or the actors portraying the characters of BBM.
Everyone familiar with the story is aware Jack is no longer alive at this stage. But my imagination allows him to talk to Ennis and reveal to him some occurrences still to come in the future.

             " Daughter of Mine"

    These are the thoughts of a father
On the wedding day of his daughter
    As his mind wanders back to the
          first time he held her

He looks at her now, the same pride in his eyes
     As onto the dance floor they glide
This is the dance of the bride and the father

Dance with me daughter of mine
     On this you wedding day
Dance with me daughter of mine
      You'll soon be going away

I love you so, since you first began
Now you found a new man

But I love you so, and this you must know
          That my love won't falter
       So dance with me daughter
        Beautiful daughter of mine.

            We walk down the aisle
       On my face there's a smile
   But deep in my heart there's a tear
           Our friends and relations
            are there in the church
With smiles on their faces they stare
       As we walk t'ward the man
     who has stolen your heart
   And to whom I must give you away
But I wish you love and happiness too
        On this your wedding day

               The dance has begun
             We twirl around the floor
But I know you're not my little girl any more



A lovely young woman has taken her place
And there's happiness written all over her face
But always remember although we must part
You may leave my arms, but never my heart

                 ( Continues at the Reception )

         "She is beautiful, Cowboy."

"Thank you Jack, I think so too!!"

            "Jack???!!!"

        "Damn, someone must have spiked the punch"

                            ( Later Down the Road )

      "Is it time, Jack?"                             "Not yet, Cowboy, but soon."
"Will I ...will I be able to....?"                    "Hold your first Grandson?

"Yes Ennis, Lizzy is going to have a little brother.
            It's wonderful don't you think?
   Junior and Kurt with two girls of their own.
       And Bobby and Francine combining
            the Del Mar and Twist blood.
         Never would have dreamed it."

"Jack? I love you, always have, you do know that now, don't you?"

"I do, Ennis, I always known, we'll be together soon , Babe.
until then tell little Ennis Jack how much his two grandpas love him."

             "I miss you so much, Jack."

"Me too, Ennis, soon Babe, I will bring us home soon."

I'm not entering the chocolate drabble contest just wanted to play along
the only way I know with pictures.
Borrowed the characters from Anni,
No offence to her or the Actors portraying the same.

Warning : Nudity

"Hey bud, that was some great tasting chow you fixed, how about
we clean up some and dessert is on me."

"Oh, yea? What is this dessert, you've been holding out on me?"

"A little hint for you Rodeo, starts with "C" and ends with "Oh, God."

"That good, woowee, can't wait."

"Mmm."

"Hey, wait up cowboy, where the hell your going?!!!"

"Better hurry, before its all washed away."

"Chocolate? Ennis !!! Oh, God !!!"

He's Watching (can) (art) (torry28)

2009-04-19T08:16:29Z

He's Watching.

Within the dark sky above, I see a sign
Within the distant clouds, I see a friend of mine
And then as the shadows disappear
He smiles at me and I know,
He's watching

H lives within the heaven and he lives within my mind
All I can feel is the love he left behind
Then he will whisper in my ear
He tells me I should know
He's watching

And now I'm grown old
I'm strengthened by the tears I've never shown
I'm strengthened by the years I've never known
Once afraid of facing them alone
And every day I have some place to go
I've traveled very far from the life I used to know
But still when I close my eyes and dream
I feel him near and I know
He's Watching me.
