~Anticipation Interrupted~ < !signature-->Today comes and goes ... just the same as yesterday, It's just another day gone ... tomorrow will be the same way. I don't feel the sunshine ... I don't taste the rain, All I feel is you gone ... and I'm lost in the pain. I don't see the falling stars ... nor the blue neon moon of night, I cant see past these shadows ... all I see is the dark without your light. Gone is the promise of the new morn ... no new sunrises kissed in mists of dew, No more indigo and lavender sunsets ... all my sunsets came and went with you. How do you move on ... when there is nothing to look forward to, how do you let go ... when this was the only thing holding and comforting you. What do you talk about ... when there is nothing left to say, what's the point of talking ... when no ones listening anyway. For so long now ... I held on to this precious memory ... somewhere along the line ... he became a part of me. When I lost him ... I lost promise and my heart's inspiration, I don't know how to get me back ... how to again feel sweet anticipation. All that I feel now is poetry ... its the only time I really breathe ... its the only time I don't taste the lonely ... my mercy ... poetic reprieve. So embrace me in the verses ... immerse me in the rhyme ... heal me with the rhythm ... help me leave this pain behind. Compose me a new day dawning ... paint me a scenic road back home, lead me down a garden path ... to a sanctuary where I'll never again be alone. Lay me down on a bed of roses ... bathe me on beaches of glistening white sand, light me candles of inspiration...give flame to my anticipation ... poets pen in hand. Janet Marie for DeVante' ... my reason to write always ******** ~You Will Always Be Mine~ Collin Raye I love the way you move ... like moonlight oon the sea. the way your body calls me, like a secret melody. the way you start a fire, when you look into my eyes ... until I'm satisfied. Chorus: There are moments when I love you ... beyond the limits of my human heart I want to hold you, take care of you The way the angels watch over the stars past the pull of the earth across the deep blue sky Through the universe Beyond the reach of time You will always be mine I dot know how you know exactly what I need I dont know how you found the man/woman I want to be I dont know how your sweet tears made me see clear again I dont know how you know I dont know how you go everywhere Ive' been There are moments when I love you ... beyond the limits of my human heart I want to hold you, take care of you The way the angels watch over the stars past the pull of the earth across the deep blue sky Through the universe Beyond the reach of time You will always be mine You will always be mine You will always be mine always in this heart if mine... for now and ever...for all time. There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 10-03-2000).] |

Janet sweet, sweet words from a sweet woman that misses her man so much and this man if he loved you half as much as you love him would want nothing more in this world than for you to experience the beauty of this love with someone new when you are ready to share the love in your heart and to embrace someone new that has been waiting to meet a beautiful precious woman just like you...perhaps someone that has also lost their love and now they are ready to give love an opportunity to give all of it's blessings...the happiness, the admiration, the appreciation, the sharing and the caring that is found in loves embrace...perhaps love is wanting to embrace you once again...perhaps...I hope for you...sweet Janet Marie....James |

Let's go S'en....**reving engine** Oh damn girl this one aches and bleeds across the page, I know I heard angles singin here!! You reached in past your heart and soul and pulled this one out...That's a poetic gift Baby!! Seeing you write like this moves something in me and causes a light to come on Showing that love like this is out there... somewhere and that even if it's only given for a short time...any thing less than a life time would be short...it's out there and to learn through you that when you give 110% and just allow yourself to love and be loved back....great things come. I know it hurts to not have him...have his voice to comfort...but you KNOW I KNOW that he's there baby....probably even closer than before....((Hugs)) me SS. Later poetic-angel-gator! |

Janet, The pain you feel and express in this poem leaves me speechless. I wish there was something I could say to take away the pain you feel. I offer you my prayers and warm hugs and a promise that one day you will see the sunshine again. ~warmest hugs~ ~~Tara aka rp25 :o) |

Hugging you and loving you my friend. You know that I know of the pain....and would take it all if I could. Just keep on writing the pain....let it bleed til the scar takes ahold. Soft shoulder offered for you to weep your eyes and heart out on. Hang in there baby....time will get you past it all and give to you what you seek. |

Janet Marie...this is so very beautifully written. Your heartache is felt by us all through your words. Putting these feelings out for everyone to read helps us all. It is so very hard to move on when you have lost someone you love. The love never stops as you have captured in this sad, but beautiful creation. Great, great work!! My heart pours out to you. |

Oh, Janet Marie, this is so close to my heart, I cannot tell you how much I feel in this piece you've written. It tells me I'm not the only one who clings to the poetic passion when everything else seems to be evaporating. God Bless you! Kathleen |

thank you to each one of you ... I'm a bit too overwhelmed by these giving and emotional replies to answer each one individually, please forgive me and know i am very touched, I know this is another sadder one than I usually try to write about him... as I really do celebrate him but Irish Rose....you commented about exactly what I was trying to say in this.. not to focus on the loss but to heal in the poetry...keep the memories alive thru the poems. Find release and strength in the writing ... thank you all for the sweet replies and hugs ... this place is so special and Mark ... thank you baby... we all need a soft place to fall. Better be careful what ya wish for cowboy. later gators love yas me |

Janet--You know that someplace in time, across distance that is invisible, he feels your words and sends back his own...and you know what he says because you listen with your heart. Hugs!! |

Janet, I came across this poem and it took my breath away for a few secs... I didn't expect this (next time I'm holding kleenex in hand just in case)... The romantic intensity and heart tugging it expressed through each verse (which btw I had to read twice) was so eloquent my dear PoetFriend it left me with tears at the end... Hugs2Ualways |

You grabbed me with the fabulous title, but I did not expect such rich honesty and unrequited desire… oh, if this is simply fictional verse, you are genius. And if this is life-to-words, you are a brave person, Janet. Thank you for sharing this! ~ Beth |

Lay me down on a bed of roses ... bathe me on beaches of glistening white sand, light me candles of inspiration...give flame to my anticipation ... poets pen in hand How did I miss this one? damn college, anyway Jan-eve-agator, there you go writing beautiful poetry and making hearts stop and don't you ever stop.

Janet Marie, this is an achingly beautiful piece, it really is. So full of love so full of pain, but pain that will heal. When I lost him.........I lost promise and my hearts' inspiration This line is soooooooo true. This is an amazing poem, utterly magnificent. Life does go on, it doesn't help to hear that, but it does. And if you ever need a helping hand to help you rise, which we all do sometimes, remember that here are your family. And family will always be here for you. Take care Mushy Marsha Two smiles to help you through the dark days Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

There are moments when I love you ... beyond the limits of my human heart I want to hold you, take care of you The way the angels watch over the stars Only a heart full of love could have written these words. Someone once asked me, what do you think is the greatest love story in history, and I said' "Mine". Because yours is the greatest love on earth. It shows in your poetry. But it is not all of life, and you will love again in a different way, and your life will not be diminished for having lost a love, but only enhanced for having been a part of his. THis is beautiful poetry, my dear. Your writing is prolific and meaningful Take care Liz |

Love this on Janet just an incredible write.. "no new sunrises kissed in mists of dew" these kind of phrases so bring the perspective of the reader into full comprehension. It time to come away my darling pretty it's time to come away on the changing tides time to come away my darling pretty and I need you darling by my side heal me with a smile darling pretty heal me with a smile and a heart of gold carry me a while darling pretty heal my aching heart and soul just like a castaway lost upon an endless sea I saw you far away come to rescue me. cast away the chains darling pretty cast away the chains away behind take away my pain my darling pretty and the chains that once were yours and mine there will come a day darling pretty there will come a day when hearts can fly love will find a way darling pretty find a heaven for you and I M knopfler |

JM, I don't know why but your writing always moves me. Not so much for its excellence but for its heart. In fact it inspired me to write a poem directed twards you. If you get a chance read A Sip From The Grail. *L* Sy |

Forgive me J.M. I almost missed this, and that would be like painting over a picasso. You show real depth of feeling and passion in this poem, and I cant say anything that hasnt been said much better by others. A few lines that always comfort me when I miss my love, "Though we move across different oceans, we are uplifted by the same gentle breeze". Be well my friend and thank you for sharing. Take care Olias |
