Rationed to my life,
If that was all I’d left,
I wouldn’t need but four.
To profess, between yester ‘n today,
My feelings respecting you.
Breathing dear, my last
“I love you more.”
•••
Hellbent on going out on a high (and ball-peen free) note, I used the crux of the Trifecta challenge – as shown with today’s post title – by using “Thirty-three words,” as my prompt for this week’s free, and final, Trifecta Writing Challenge.
Coming in relatively late to the game (and YES – admittedly still bellyaching over never having won a week =) ), I really did enjoy my time with the Trifecta community, and wish you all the very best.
as long as i'm singing 
brilliant
hang in there, brother
Thanks Lance – not only hanging, but (dare I say), actually starting to get my head and shoulders above the pits opening =)
I’m glad our paths crossed through Trifecta. I feel richer knowing you. Don’t be a stranger… you know where I “live.”
It has always been, and it will always be, my pleasure Tara =)
Damn. Lovely. We always think we love more. Which is more of a curse, being loved more and not being able to match it or the reverse?
I would think that the curse would be in keeping score. Scratch that, I KNOW that that’s the curse – especially when considering that those who decide to keep score so very rarely have reliable cards to keep tally with. Ya dig?
Preach!
Next time ’round, I’m TOTALLY gonna ask if they’re scorekeeper first, and if so, I’m TOTALLY gonna run fast as I can-like, in the opposite direction!
Oh, lovely! What a gorgeous sentiment, and so gentle. Really well done!
Thank you Christine – I was hoping for it to have a “caressing of the cheek, laying a finger upon lips” sort of feel to it – I’m glad to hear that it sounds like I was able to pull it off somewhat in the 33 max limit!
I love that song, I tap my feet and snap my fingers and sing all the lyrics when it comes on because it’s happy and hopeful and wonderful.
“I love you more” actually reminds me of my mom. That is what we say to one another as long as I can remember…”Love you mom!” ..”Love you more Kirst” or “Love you Kirsten-gal” …”love you more mom”
and those words in the light of our loss and gains lately mean so much to me.
I love you t, my friend. This was just beautiful.
I love you too, Kir, and I’m thinking of you and yours especially during this time. Remember to keep tapping – you know he’d be upset if you didn’t =)
Definitely got the ‘caressing of the cheek’ down, Troy! Lovely and I love the little rhyme of left and profess. Hope to catch you around the ‘net : )
Thank you so much, and I’m certain we’ll stay caught up =)
Hey Troy,great to see your writing again and loving it too:-)Beautiful sentiment here and I agree:-)Glad to have met you and super glad that we keep bumping into each other on FF ,SE and am sure other writing challenges-stay blessed and all the best :-)
Thank you dear =) And after contending with what ended up being a personal issue of no consequence, it is good to be back!
I hope your blessings to me come back and rain on you as well, and yes! I am glad to have found you on the interwebs as well =)
Sometimes,it happens-non-issues loom and become bigger than they are-only in retrospect do we understand the insignificance!Glad that it was resolved:-)
Aww,thank you for the beautiful words Troy and hope to see you soon,tc and God Bless :-)
God Bless you as well – and yes, soon =)
:-)
Love your 33-words and the pertinent four. Beautiful.
Thank you so much Sarah =)
Stars, beloved t. xx
Stars =)
We’re glad you joined us and stuck around for a while. I love that you’re going out with a gentle bit of loveliness. Good luck on the journey!
It was truly my pleasure, and I wish you all the same on your journey as well =)
