Every moment of every day ... your still with me in every way. Every poem and song ... every rhyme and verse ... your still here ... like a beautiful curse. Your my inspiration ... your my fire ... your words fill me with poetic desire. Every moment of every day ... your still with me in every way. Time passes ... but the love remains, as does the need ... this goes unchanged. Warmed by the light that glowed with in ... touched by the words of a poets pen. Every moment of every day, your still with me in every way ... (in my heart to stay) Janet Marie for DeVante' because I'm keeping my promise...always **repost from Corner Pub And it's good that I'm not angry, I just need to get over, I'm not angry, anymore Cry when you cry, run when you run, love when you love, represent the ashes that you leave behind ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Ah, what a talent we poets have for romanticizing the impossible! LOL Janet, dear, without our dreams, we are nothing. I find your stubbornness refreshing in keeping this one alive. --Kess YOUR LIFE IS A TEST It is only a test ... If this were your Actual Life, you would have been given better instructions! |

* wagging head while smiling *  Girl, you've got it bad, but that's good. Whatever it takes, to keep you dreaming... Sometimes the tiniest glimmer of "hope" is all we need to breathe and love. I know that curse all too well, as you know. Just beautiful, dammit!  |

Time passes ... but the love remains, as does the need ... this goes unchanged. Warmed by the light that glowed with in ... touched by the words of a poets pen. Every moment of every day, your still with me in every way ... (in my heart to stay) Janet that was beautiful, there are people in this life who meet and their presense stays with us for ever. a touching and wonderful tribute to your soul mate. ------------------------ "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. Faster- manic street preachers I am an architect, they call me a butcher I am a pioneer, they call me primitive I am purity, they call me perverted Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please A morality obedient, only to the cleansed repented *I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer I spat out Plath and Pinter I am all the things that you regret A truth that washes that learnt how to spell The first time you see yourself naked you cry Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining I know I believe in othing but it is my nothing Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors too many people awake If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else * chorus So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything (x4) ----- |

JanetMarie I think I can feel the heartbrake in this. The "realism" in this makes it a sad romantic poem that talked to me and gave me a thinker... -nando- Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday... |

You are doing his memory proud, as he smiles from the heavens down on you and sees the beautiful weaves that you dedicate to him like only YOU could do. This is truly a heart touching piece. Filled with Butterfly Kisses and Angel Wing Hugs. Love you my sweet S.S. B.D.C. |

Very nice JM I can relate. It is so hard to let go sometimes... and yet may be even harder in the long run not to. How can love cause both such incredible elation and such intense pain... Woe to all us incurable romantics...  |

Absolutely lovely, JM. Such longing and desire...I've been there before. Keep your chin up and keep on writing gorgeous poetry like this girl! I love it. *Krista Knutson* "Thought is real, physical is the illusion..." Albert from ~What Dreams May Come~ |

Thank you all for the hearfelt replies... your encouragment means so much. somethings change us forever, sometimes we can hold on and still move on and heal ... somethings are too precious to let go of. the gift comes in the lessons learned and the inspiration born of the love. You all inspire me as well thank you love you jm And it's good that I'm not angry, I just need to get over, I'm not angry, anymore Cry when you cry, run when you run, love when you love, represent the ashes that you leave behind ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

This is beautiful Janet! SpitFire said this poem is a treasure, indeed it is. So too are your memories. Take Care! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

J. Marie, This is even more touching knowing the person behind the inspiration. I feel as though I know him a little just through your poems - you do him a great justice. Wonderful, JM. I'm thinking of you. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
