To My Kindred Spirit...


We share secrets, we laugh and even cry,

We have so much in common,

Concerns, likes and dislikes.

Ours is a relationship joined by

Tender velvet chains that link our

similar dreams of life and love.

A gentle intuition guides us in our

individual struggles to succeed

at the things we pursue, to stand

out from the crowd.

In you I have found so much of myself,

Including many of the same

Insecurities and philosophies.

Complete inner-peace and happiness,

These are the things I wish for you,

in the present and in the future

because you are my kindred spirit.

Todd-Michael Phillips

Tallulah, this poem could have just as easily been dedicated to you, because you have become such a sincere cyber-pal to me & I feel as though I have known you all of my life. Maria was, by the way, thrilled by this tribute to her and she reassured me that she feels the same for me without question. She & I have been like sister & brother since 1988, we do bruch together every easter & look forward to our vacations together every year. (Montreal This Year)


I am sorry that they censored your very first poem/posting, now that I have read it I see it as more of a fun & comical farce, blatantly sexual indeed, but not intentionally a threat to the narrow-minded-overly-conservative- self-righteous-on-lookers of puritanical plight! All that said... I think you posses great talent and such an orginal voice & now that they have moved that kinky throbing poem "THRUST" to the "Poetry For Adults" section, I think people will go there & appreciate it for the erotic work of art that it is. Just remember that I was the first one to tell you that you had a gift. I am even considering introducing you to my agent (Via e-mail) if you can write enough to comprise a saleable book of sensual poetry, YES it's that good!!!

To my new Kindred Spirit Tallulah...


Never-ever Compromise or settle for being anything (Or anyone) other that who you are!     GO Goth Queen Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
