ALL THAT I CAN SAY
I don't write verses
to suit purposes
I don't use words
to nail their rhymes
to
fit a song
to fill a book
to foster riches
or gain control
this massive universe
that I will never know
is
to me, the only force
that I can call a home
and just like those
who lived here
before me,
so I must live
to
die
and to give way...
thus, we see things
pass before us
creating, destroying
those that surround us
believing
we'll live forever
believing our spirits
return in different forms
invisibly grotesque
to frighten the living
we've
left after
we've lost this life
that we shall live
only once.....
all matters
matter only
when our hearts
learn
to unravel
the truth,
when we seek for love
and love only
for loving itself
when we succumb
to the ravages
of time
without regretting
the passing of youth
moving on....
without ever looking back
surrending all our
joys
and pain
to the One Being taht made us
never bothering to question
the loads
laid out before us
by
fate and time
I only write verses
I only sing songs
I never use them
as they never use me
I can fill
no books
I can foster no riches
but I can love you
and love you so....
that is all I can do,
that is all
I can say.....

Wallace Reid was born in St.Louis ,Missouri on 15 April ,1891 and died in a padded cell inside a sanatorium
at the young age of 31 on 18 January, 1923. He was considered the "king of hollywood" in the early part of the 20th century
and popularized the sports shirt and sports car. He had a talent for musical instrument and can play the sax and violin. He
was also a man of many talents ,scriptwriter, director, actor, cameraman.
He was well liked by his friends and family.He was loved and adored by his fans. He was the kindest and
gentlest soul who never complained about work or anything at all. He was every inch the "ideal man" . But he met an unfortunate
accident while shooting a film in 1918 and to ease the pain on his head injury, he was given morphine...that was the beginning
of his end. He is almost totally forgotten and unknown now...
But I love him dearly and in my heart he shall remain young, handsome, and still alive and well after all
these years......
