VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

River

No comfort in hearts twisted dry;
a word's ease slips to the ground

like fragrant oil poured freely in blood.
None of it mixes, makes amends

for what it cannot console us to be.
How can we, ever full, incite

this rampant river
to froths of contemptuous words

without drowning the blush
beneath every heartbeat of passion,

or sinking still in a flood
we cannot love, or live without?
