Spark to wick flicker to flame light the night once again it came shadows fall flame's glow to entrance watch her flow Sen's candle dance In a secret garden summers humid mist poet and verse engage in poetic tryst gifted pen gifted eyes poetic pleas poetic reprise hear her song hear her cries sing her harmony sing softly a lullaby Wish on the stars Kiss the moon dance this dance for the night ends too soon Inspiration born her sweet poetic curse taste her rhyme inhale her verse by candle glow her muse on high read her words ... witness her fly Match to wick Spark to flame poetry is thy creed Serenity is thy name Janet Marie *winkiewinkie* me twin me loves ya **************** ~3 A.M.~ matchbox twenty from the cd: Yourself or Someone Like You She says it's cold outside, and she hands me my raincoat She's always worried about things like that. She says it's all gonna end, and it might as well be my fault And she only sleeps when it's raining, And she screams, and her voice is straining, She says baby, It's 3AM I must be lonely, When she says baby, Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes, Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it. She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all She swears the moon don't hang as quite as high as it used to. And she only sleeps when it's raining, And she screams, and her voice is straining, She says baby, It's 3AM I must be lonely, When she says baby, Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes, Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it. She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to And the clock on the wall, has been stuck at three for days She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway And outside, it's stopped raining. Then she says baby, It's 3AM I must be lonely, When she says baby, Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes, Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it. It's 3AM I must be lonely, Oh When she says baby, Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes, Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.

Sweet...This was enjoyable to read...and I loved the way the first ran so smoothly...  With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

Janet, this is gorgeous. Spark to wick flicker to flame light the night once again it came shadows fall Perhaps the simplest lines, but I love the rhythm. ~ Beth |

Beautiful tribute to a friend that you love and of course she is worth every word anyway. Your muse writes within your heart and finds the pen so easily and so masterfully these days. See rehab does help!!!! |

I don't know who this "Serenity" person is, but JM - you've done it with this one. A fine tribute to a (I guess...  ) fine lady (man?)  OK - Teasing aside - Knowing Ms. S'en as I do - I can definitely see the pertinance of that particular song. I know it's rare for me to come on in the middle of the night (the song fits me too...) and not find her there, ready to harass ... errr... talk to me. Hugs to both o' you! C |

JM- oooooo...this one's pur-dee. i like the second stanza a lot, for the images and the parallel couplets. they're so cool! i've never been candle dancing, but it sounds very...magickal... the MB20 was also a nice touch. i am not sure of what meaning it holds for you two, but for me it was a song for me and my best friend and i still think of her when i hear it. a wonderful verse, as always. a flight of fancy and candle dancing. the words are magically prancy, and while Jan's dream is tribute to serenty's poetic entrancing i just can't seem to shake this vision a candle really dancing. I am reminded of the immortal words of Socrates who said, "I drank what?" |

Fantastic capture of the serene one. This caught my eye as this evening she has me blowing the flames of candles south to send a hurricane back to sea |

As if I'd forget this... wakawaka yayayayayayay  and I always found it odd that the infamous definition of "whistle" was put your lips together and blow...  hugging you |
