A Kiss From the Stars A kiss from the stars in sky of night Healing kisses sent aloft in the wind Searching for the love hidden in fright Two hearts bonded as one would intend Destiny calls out once in the voice of dance Fate calls out twice in the patter of heavens tears Lost heart with soul in the hands of time given chance Falling softly against the walls of yesterday's fears A kiss and a hug bringing peace to your thought Of the sins cast upon you through centuries of lust The love that you need is the one that you have fought The love that stands behind you begging for your trust Ease out the terror buried deep among the measures of pain Renew your heart and your dreams in the sky of the night In the us all of your demons and ghosts will be slain Walk forward with heart as you head toward the light Angel kissed destiny written among all the fallen stars Tender love wrapped in blankets of this mornings dew Heaven's pure blessings massaging all your old scars As on this day you awake...with me in love with you Mark Bohannan |

Mr. Bohannan, if you continue to pen poetic passion such as this...none of the ladies here will ever be able to compose again... |

"Lost heart with soul in the hands of time given chance Falling softly against the walls of yesterday's fears" "As on this day you awake...with me in love with you" This is incredibly lovely Mark! You've woven such tender words of love and trust, begging to be received and taken in their genuine offering. What beautiful words you've penned in this! Best wishes, /Kit |

Destiny calls out once in the voice of dance **Fate calls out twice in the patter of heavens tears Lost heart with soul in the hands of time given chance** Falling softly against the walls of yesterday's fears **The love that you need is the one that you have fought The love that stands behind you begging for your trust** **In the us** all of your demons and ghosts will be slain Walk forward with heart as you head toward the light ============================ Heaven's pure blessings massaging all your old scars ***As on this day you awake...with me in love with you*** ======================= It is poetic and just that the LAST reply I do in here for awhile be to this poem... I promised you the most honest read I've ever given you ... Well then Mark Christopher, poet and healer of my soul ... I think this is my favorite to date and one of your best ... it was written with your heart and soul devoted ...not your poets pen. I wish you could have seen the smile on my face -- as I read the lines above that I marked with ** I have seen the light you offer ... I have grown and healed in its glow I believe in you ... my gift to you in return would be ... that you see your self thru the eyes of those who love and know you best... two of which are mine ... Thank you for the peace you sent to me in the wind lastnight ... and for holding my hand in my lost moment .. About 4 this morn ...I went for a drive ... I saw the stars for the first time in a very long time ... I saw your smile there too. No one wants {this} more for you than me somethings are meant to be ... I love you MC... thank you for defining friendship in my heart. Like I keep telling ya cowboy ... you are so cool.  later-Stetson-gator me < !signature--> 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 09-09-2000).] |

Rosebud1229-Next time you want me to light up the sky for you just let me know. Thank you so very much for that wonderful reply. JM-My sweet dearest friend. I love everything about you and you know that. I know your wishes for me and my love as her and I travel this path we are on and I thank you so very much for your love and support during all of this. Have I told you how very proud I am of you for ALL the things you are doing in your personal life to get things caught up? Well with each one you accomplish it is I who gets much satisfaction and honor as you have been holding true to your word in getting things done. You my friend deserve the world and when you want that moon painted BLUE you just let me know. Love you my dear friend as does my sweetheart...you know we would both hug the stuffings out of you if we could right now. Now......not to be tooooo tuff on you.....STAY OUT OF THE FORUMS my tender friend or those cuffs are being replaced with a straight jacket.lol  couldn't resist that. Denise- Thank you so much for that and for you. Sunny-I LOVE it when you bow like that instead of curtsy....just don't get up so quick ok?....  Seriously...thank you for your dedication to my posts and your always kind replies.[This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 09-09-2000).] |

Mark* Between you and me...weekends suck baby!! And missing the chance to read this beautiful poem until now is one MORE reason for that opinion This is beautiful...all your work touches my heart deeply but this one is in a class alone. Your heart and soul are poured into every line and the beauty of them shines through...you are such a tender sweet man..your poetry would shows that...but I already knew |

Mark, this is the poem that every woman who has had to endure betrayal of love, trust and heart should have written for her. I know you didn't write it for me, and please forgive me, but for just these few minutes, I pretended it was mine, and I felt what it might be to feel loved. Thank you...your lady is blessed. ~ Claire < !signature--> Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau [This message has been edited by Meadowmuse (edited 09-10-2000).] |

Destiny calls out once in the voice of dance Fate calls out twice in the patter of heavens tears Lost heart with soul in the hands of time given chance Falling softly against the walls of yesterday's fears Mark, your expression is beyond eloquent here and truly, your poem gives much warmth to many a heart including moi of course and upon finishing the read, one is left feeling like they're swirling in a dreamlike state where for a moment they've somehow embraced the pure essence of true love you've expressed so magnificently here...Muaah on cheekzPoetFriend... This poem goes in2my treasurechest *~coco~* |

Dee and Coco ... The two of you are treasured more than I could ever express and I hope you both realize this fact. Wish I had you both in front of me so we could indulge in a big group hug. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart. Recognize love for the gift it is and not a need that is out of focus. |

I think this one is more touching to me now. I don't think I could truly appreciate it then. Good enough to put my name on it twice! (Besides, I figure you I owe you a few replies!) |
