I, forced to swallow the most bitter pill, Of the never was, and the never will Shimmering veil of darkest cloth hides eyes Of my muse, once more she comes to descry She sees into the deepest depths of me Because without her, I am incomplete With a rush like wind through the fertile field And sunlight cascading in my mind unsealed My loosed thoughts pour forth haltingly at first She stands now before me, moistened lips pursed Far across the field, this ardent meadow I hear a thousand trumpets start to blow I allow myself within her shadow Letting who I was, and never will, go |

Great, JML! Well Done! I love this part: Letting who I was, and never will, go. Sometimes we have to let go to create something better and new!

JML, this is very well written you have a gift for writing your deepest thoughts with much clarity,as for the reader to feel like they know you. I enjoy reading your mind gemini I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes I want to be the touch you need every single night I want to be your fantasy And be your reality And everything between I want you to need me, like I need you. celine dion |

yes,yes, chain her to her chair. PLEEEZE (LOL) just stopped by to read your mind, I mean poem again. *L* stalking you way past my bedtime, your jm< !signature--> she said I dont know if I've ever been good enough, and I'm a little bit rusty, and I feel like my head is caving in. ...and I dont know if I've ever been really loved by a hand thats touched me... and I feel like somethings gonna give... and I'm a little bit angry. matchbox20 [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 03-31-2000).] |

You have done it again...straight to the heart. Done with the style that surrounds you. |
