Webshots



              ~*~
If you are hurt and heartbroken
from a shattered love
Please know that I understand
for I have been there before
I know the ache and pain
of the heart when someone
Twists and turns like a knife in heart
seeming not to realize or care

They keep doing  their thing
fulfilling  their own  desires, not caring
That they are trampling all over
the wants and love of you
I know the feeling that
things would never change
That those feelings of despair
would last all of my days
The feelings of rejection
when they start a new relatonship
Crushing my pride with his own
and could care less for doing it

And then....
Just when I came to terms
with being all alone
Because I  would never let myself
trust enough to again fall in love
He came into my life
bringing with him a love
as I have never known before
loving me as much as he loves himself

I still have those feelings of
doubt and fear at times
But, the feelings of those are happening
farther and much farther between
I want to thank my Love
for giving his love to me
Complete with his heart
and all the rest of himself
........unconditionally

It’s always comforting to know, that
if I ever want to read about someone who
is truly in love, and sincerely appreciates
it.

Then all I have to do, is read one of
your special poems Ethel.

I’m so glad to hear that your life
is still so wonderful.
And I sincerely hope,
that it always is.

So nice to read you again Ethel!

Take Care,
Richy

You wrote this one for me, personally, didn't you, Ethel?

I know you did.

Come on, admit it...  

My favorite song, check all unfavorable sterotypes at the door, is from Madonna.  Hold your horses, it's not from the "Like a Virgin" album, although I do enjoy that one much...it is one from the album on which she dons a cowboy hat...anyhow...my favorite part is as follows:

   I have no regrets,
   There's nothing to forget
   All the pain was worth it
   Not running from the past
   I tried to do my best
   Know that I deserve it

   Many miles, many roads I have traveled
   Fallen down on the way
   Many years, many hearts have unraveled,
   Leading up to today
   and I thank you

Oh, I love that.  I wouldn't change a single path I've been on, because no matter how heart, soul or body breaking they may have been, they have lead me to where I am now...

I love your poem, Ethel.  I really do.  And I understand what you are saying loud and clear!

I have to say, Ethel, I felt as if you were speaking to me with this...although I know there are many broken hearts in the world.  I guess I love your words so much because I believe you...poems from an honest heart.

You are wonderful!

(big angel hugs) You are a true comfort and delight to every dreamer and lover, sweet friend, I have been there too with Joanna and I dream ever so much of getting to have a friendship with a special girl forever that only grows and I can hold her hand and assure her I'll faithfully walk beside her all my life with gentle loving care! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Michelle

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike

Oh, Patricia, your reply really makes me feel good.
I like that my poems touch you and that you "believe"
what I write, because it does all come from my heart.....
especially when I write things concerning my Gary.
Thank you!!  
.
.
Thank you, Michele. It was unexpected.
And we do believe that it will last forever.
.
.
Thank you, Seymour.
That's so sweet.
.
.
Thank you, Noah. You are so nice. I do
believe that one day the desires
of your heart will become realities.
.
.
Michelle, it does sound like you and Mike
have feelings for each other the way
that my Gary and I do. Hold on  to it,
because these kinds of feelings don't happen
very ofen. They are to be treasured and cherished.  
.
.
I appreciate all of you.
Hugs to each one,
Ethel

Ethel,

I, too, have to thank you so much for providing that much needed light in this dark and scary tunnel. Reading your beautiful poems about your wonderful love gives me hope that the light won't be a train!  

Love and Light...jc
