I have a question....when someone says "Lis you have
a Cheshire Cat smile", what exactly do they mean?   Like
a "cheesy" grin or something?  That's the only thing 
I can figure.   

* Lis then sits down on the couch with her book, while

The lyrics in Steel Bars really strikes a chord for me too.
I often can relate to M.B.'s music, which is why I like 
it so much.

words can rhyme in a poetry,

words can be rough and bumpy,
  well -> like the words I used in this little post,
words can embrace you,
  like making love in a cold cold winter night,
words can also cut you,
  like a sharp razor blade in the morning shave,
words is something I used in our fight,
  so I can sleep on the sofa last night,
words is what the love songs are made out of,
  and also something started a war,
words can hurt so much,
  especially in your higher pitch,
words can feel so comforting,
  when you whisper into me ear,
words are what I used,
  to tell you "I LOVE YOU", 
words are what you used,
  to tell me you I am meaningless to you,
words can be exchanged,
  like the bullets in a war,
words can be cofusing,
  that's how I feel right now,
words can also be swaped,
  when we say we're sorry,
words are what I will use,
  to whip you off your feet tonight,
words don't have to be used,
  let's just kiss and make up.........................

I try not to, but it's just so difficult.  If only things had been different
many many years ago, but it's all too late now.  There's nothing that I can
do.

There's a famous quote from Macbeth, that I often reveberate in my

nothing."
