I want to thank Lone Wolf for honoring me with her incredible talent once again I No Longer See The Beacon As I gaze into the sky tonight I'm wondering where you are If it would bring you home again I'd wish on every star My wish would be for only you To you my heart belongs I've always known you were the one To help me finish life's song Without the melody of your love The moon no longer shines The sky has turned to darkest black In the end , I guess love really is blind I no longer see the beacon Of the lighthouse that once was us The harbor is now barren So, where do I turn for trust? All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

a wonderful poem, another great collaboration Without the melody of your love The moon no longer shines The sky has turned to darkest black In the end , I guess love really is blind I no longer see the beacon Of the lighthouse that once was us The harbor is now barren So, where do I turn for trust? ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- |

Wow you two! This is incredible...filled with such sorrow. Gorgeous work, keep it up! *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |
