my last few poems have been pretty depressing... so while me and my stubborn muse work thru this bout of writers block again... heres a couple short reposts from open 6 to all who have E-mailed me to see if Im okay I thank you and love you for your concern... Im fine..I promise... just need an inspired muse  ~Little Miracles~ Sitting in a sunbeam, on the cool kitchen floor, watching the sunset thru the open back door. Soft breezes come in thru the tattered screen, God's artistry paints the sky in a violet washed scene. The stereo jams ... my body takes in the deep base, the sunlight warms and tans my tear streaked face. Within this fragile moment ... I discover the place, you exist in me. The gift of this miracle ... for once, I am content to simply ... just be. If I hold my breath ... can I make time mercifully stand still ... Should I never move ... can I stop the arrival of until? Janet Marie ******** ~Sweet Elation~ Embraced in this moment, so perfect, so rare, allowing myself this contentment, your gift to share. Music plays softly, the sun is setting slow, my body still tingling ... warmed by afterglow. I can still hear you breathing, whispering my name ... now that you've touched me like this, I'll never be the same. For it is only in these moments, when lovers gently touch... that elation and contentment, can be felt this much. Wrap your body around me, put your lips on mine, take me to that moment...when hearts and souls entwine. Janet Marie |

Janet, did you SAY your muse could take a vacation?  I'm glad to see these two poems...they were both so beautiful. I especially liked the second one--it was so sweet and loving. Thanks for sharing.Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

Hey JM your muse was working fine when you wrote those. "Wrap your body around me, put your lips on mine. take me to that moment ...when hearts and souls entwine." Now there's a chorus for a song if I ever read one. Woo hoo keep em comin!!!!!! |

Oh, I really loved both of these poems Janet Marie ... your muse sure wasn't sleeping when you penned these! Thanks for posting them! And by the way, when I had a little block a while back, I ended up writing a poem "about" my muse ... seems to get the juices flowing again? She'll come back when she knows your talking about her behind her back Best wishes, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 06-22-2000).] |

JanetMarie~ Muses are funny little creatures, huh? Kick back and they'll come calling for sure. These are really nice poems that you reposted. Just keep reading ... you'll get that maniacal little muse jealous and she'll come back in a frenzy ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Jan, I recall reading the first poem just after I joined Passions and this line still sticks out in my mind... Within this fragile moment ... I discover the place, you exist in me. The gift of this miracle ... for once, I am content to simply ... just be. Now...for the second one.... Man, Oh, Man!!!! Such beautiful emotions and sentiments in this one You know, I have found a cure for writer's block...Just find yourself a co-writer and believe me....something they say will get those creative juices flowing once again All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

.gif) Ok so where did they take off to now??? My Muse has left a "do not disturb" sign in her wake~ I'm in favor of locking the little imps up and forbidding anymore "vacations" until we are ready to take one ourselves... leaving them home to clean while we are gone These touched my heart then and they touch it now. Take care S.S. we shall write again SOON |

JM, these are two very gorgeous pieces, girl! And as for that wandering muse of yours, I'm sure she'll (or he'll?) return soon to send more flowing magic through your poet's pen. In the meantime, I'll see if I can send a few floating thoughts from my muse to sustain you....now I need to track down that little bugger of mine....she's always hiding from me......again, beautiful poems! *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |
