All right, here’s the deal You’ve seen it before I know some of you But I want to know more I’m a fan of anonymity So don’t shed your disguise But give us a quick taste Of what lies behind your eyes Let us know the finer things That you hold so dear Or maybe your nightmares The things that you fear Tell us what makes you Just who you are Tell us what drives you I don’t mean your car But don’t tell too much No number to your phone Some cybernauts are nuts And won’t leave you alone Now, don’t be afraid Please stop and reply If your life is a secret Just tell us your lie |

Hi, my name is Jeremy. I’m a 26 year old Texan. I hold a bachelor degree in psychology, my passion is theology, and I love philosophy. I’m a recovering addict. My views and personal philosophies come from a wide variety of studies, and quite often they may seem morbid or twisted. Sometimes I think the truths in my life are actually lies. I enjoy surfing the waves, sometimes the net. I’m no poet, but I’ve been having real fun here in your forums. It seems a few of you suffer from multiple personality disorders or at least multiple identities.  I can’t wait to read you! Love is the law, love under will. |

I'm a hopeless romantic or couldn't you tell? and I have this penchant when people can't spell to get out my red pen it's a habit, I'm sure one that's obsessive, and one I can't cure... I'm a dreamer, it's true actually it's a fact and when the computer frizzes it's me saying ACK!!! I'm also in this field of legal anonymity so I learn to yield to others proximity and my biggest fear right now I think is when the blue pages are on the blink for here I come for therapy I write for you, I write for me I'm fairly nice, or so it's been told and I'm rather shy, even when bold so know that you know a little of me tell us all, what do YOU see? |

This is so interesting, I believe I know what you have experienced. In poetry, and I mean true poetry and this site is gifted with it, the poet escapes from his own personality and his own expression at times, not all of the time, but at time into another realm of emotion. When doing that, and if he or she does it from a poet's soul, it could very well appear to be a multiple personality. It's the beauty of poetry, it's not a lie, it's poetry though, please disassociate lies with poetic verse. Every poem that I write is not about me, every poem I write is a feeling, but not necessarily an experience. It's freer to write of something you have never experienced and the best verse comes from those tortured souls who have been so hungry for nourishment, that when they finally pen or come to the understanding of what poetry is, they evolve into something more grand than anything a personality has to offer. They find the essence of immortality, a means for leaving some kind of expression behind, whether it be a diary, a napkin, poems wrapped and hidden, something that said "I was here" Enjoy your surfing!

I'm just a woman without love although I was surprised to find out all my dreams of him had, suddenly for him, died. Well that was not much of a spontaneous rhyme..LOL I'm a romantic, a lover not a fighter, a dreamer, not always a doer, though I try. Currently I am broken hearted and my poetry is just pouring out my sadness. Someday I hope to be happy, and write some happy thoughts. Loved your poem, by the way |

I'm very closed but with poetry my heart blooms to share, the inner most feelings sometimes they pour forth so abundantly it's hard to keep them in order on the page I'm very passionate in all things though sometimes I may not show it I hold things in when eventually they have to come out. Sometimes I tempt fate I must admit and take a wild escapade but then that probably has to do with I'm 38 and realize I'm all grown up even though I find sometimes I have to say this over and over to believe it. There that's enough as you can see I can write and write so there's just a glimmer of myself. |

We are not just poets, Our feelings are real. We have all the heartaches That everyone feels. What do I tell you Where do I start. What do I feel in The depths of my heart? I'm just a man like Most men you see. I want to love someone Who will also love me. I want to live life With the people I've met To float on the lake And watch the sun set. But the center of life The core of my world Is that ponytailed angel My sweet little girl. It's like it has been My whole sad life long I've lived out the words Of Clapton's sad song "When I walk, stay behind; Don't get close to me, 'Cause it's sure to end in tears, So just let me be." < !signature--> Some men see things as they are and ask "WHY ?" I see things as they could be and ask "WHY NOT ?" [This message has been edited by The Lonely Stranger (edited 10-20-2000).] |

Sunshine I see a soul so beautiful A mind enlightened with thought A heart that will keep beating Till the whole world's love is caught And behind this blue screen I see your smile so sweet It has enchanted my dreams Seeing it is always a treat Irish Rose You may have misunderstood Though are thinking's the same But when I said "multiple" I only meant the name Sorry about what I wrote I didn't mean to sound uncouth But in my way of thinking A lie is a truth catalinamoon My dear sweat Cat Your poems are sad and pure For that scoundrel Ken I may have a cure You may not like it It involves some voodoo  E-mail me if interested I'll tell you what to do Rosebud1229 Truely you are passionate In all that you do You may not think you show it But it always shines through Always stay a child There's no reason to be adult The pure excitment of a child Is something that cannot be bought Stranger I'm like you, I've loved too Sadly lost, that love is done But there's a love I'll never loss That's the love for my son I too lived the words Of Eric's sad song I used to distance myself But found that to be wrong Irish Rose I'm glad my words were misinterpreted by you, because the thought pattern it caused you to express I agree with whole heartedly. Keep shining, for in my eyes you are a star that will never fall. I've been reading each of you since I found this blessed home of poetic talent, which makes me extreamly happy that you took the time to share. Thank you all. Love is the law, love under will. |

I am rising my eyebow, thought I was clear, where was you, when I penned it, my dear, haven't you noticed that right up from the start, I allowed you, to take a look in my heart. I know that I aint just a poet like you, but all what I told, where my feelings so true, heartaches or love even sorrow and pain, I have penned it here, they were not all the same. hmm, isn't this the thing what you ment, oh you would like to know mebetter, my friend, well I hide my soul and heart in words, even when I have to do some research. so feelings from the past or even from tomorrow are allways containt with love or sorrow cause I am a woman with a heart... but well I told you that right up from the start.

who am I? well, that's a very interesting question. . . to some, I am Knight of the Realm, Defender of Romance Minstrel of Love to others, I am Friend to the Weak Giver of Hope Healer of Hearts. . . But really, I am none of these things I am merely a man, who, like most people, longs to love and be loved a man who shows his heart and his soul in his poetry and always has I am just me, that's all I can be poet writer Hopeless Romantic friend. . . Nice to meet you. . . ------------------------------------------------------------------ < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 10-23-2000).] |

I am lonely, I am loved. I am below. I am above. I am helpless. I am strong. I am silence. I am song. I am crazy. I am sane. I am different. I am the same. I am laughter. I am tears. I am champagne. I am beer. I am nothing-- Everything. I caress... and ouch. I sting. All of this, I am, I know. Tomorrow I'll be different-- I grow... |

Hi Jeremy, this is a great idea of yours! What a way for us new ones to get to know some of the others. I am from a beautiful little part of the world, Australia. To earn my keep I cook at a local tourist attraction the "Big Pineapple" (luckily I love my job). In my spare time I love to spend time with my family. (I have two teenage daughters.) I am a fairly private person, a little insecure, generally happy and optimistic. A romantic who wants to see everyone happy and settled. I love reading and writting poetry, especially here as there is so much support. I listen to country music even when I cop **** about it. And I love photography. One day I hope to publish a book of my poems and photos. Dee [This message has been edited by Dee (edited 10-24-2000).] |

Some would say that I'm a witch over men, I cast my spell I'm a woman of mystery with secrets I'll never tell Sometimes I am open and spill my soul to share I let down my iron walls to show the hurt that's there I have my flights of fancy and dream into the night I'm protective of my children and love with all my might I like to laugh and be carefree spin circles in the sun I blow bubbles in the wind, making wishes on each one I like to be alone when I break with tears streaming down my face So no one's here to witness this angel's fall from grace There are many sides to me but inside, I'm still the same I might hide behind a fan but I've never hidden behind a name Take me as I am or watch me as I go |

What a WONDERFUL post Jeremy! Terrific poem and sentiments to begin us with, and I've enjoyed reading all the responses! Here's my little addition for you ... I'm just a gal from Canada, Who worked sixteen hour days, For waaaay too many years I lost myself inside that haze. I vowed that once my business grew, (Admin for oil and gas), I'd take some time to just be me, And try to have some laughs. I found the forums, and I knew The minute I began, That I had found my second home, 'Twas fantasy ... this land! My therapy had always been To write a poem or two, It kept me sane and gave me strength Nigh thirty years, it's true. So now I leave the files at work, The end of every day, And log in to this little world, Where I can come and play! Best wishes, /Kit |

Charisma, My Sweet Dove Oh dear soul You I do know You have expressed your heart so true Straight from the start I opened my heart And expressed my love for you But in front of me There lies a great sea Keeping us so far apart Knowing your lips so sweet I will never meet Creates a great ache in my heart But maybe someday We will find a way A chance that we can meet At that time Sweet bells will chime And I’ll lay my heart at your feet jlocke ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sven I'm glad you dropped in. serenity I like your identity. Dee, you it's nice to see. Tara Simms I enjoy your whims. Kit I loved your bit. Thank you all for your wonderful contributions! Love is the law, love under will. |

 I am overwhelmed with your words so sweet, and allowed my heart to make a faster beat, it sings and jump and hum as you see, because you opened your heart for me. a dove can fly and cross the sea, and close the distance between you and me, your precious heart that lie by my feet, will save that for you, till that we meet.

Can I cheat? *G* This (if my attempt to link works *G*) is my response the one and only time I tried to answer a challenge. *G* /pip/Forum18/HTML/001002.html I'm not around much anymore Without Toe, I'm just a bore. So I usually hover and lurk... Poetry reading sure beats work! *G* |

Who am I? Cast into this life, not of my willing, With a purpose unknown. Will my every action cause a reaction? Will the dominoes fall, one upon another, With each deed I do, right or wrong? Who will judge my existence? Or do I judge myself? Do I ask you? Or do I face myself, In a mirrored reflection, and ask, Who am I? see...now i'm no better off than when i started...Geez...Ron |

I'm from a small town in Tennessee and I hold a degree in Criminology. My minor is in Psychology and I'm still single at 23. I do so want to be in love yet it's my fault that I'm alone. For several times love looked my way and out of fear I chose to run. I come to this place as an escape. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. I find eternal sunshine here that chases away all forms of pain. I want to do so much in life yet so far I've done nothing at all. I want to spread my wings and fly but I constantly worry that I may fall. ~~~~ Well, it's something...I've suffering from a poetic dry spell... --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

There are days that I'm a dreamer A sentimental fool There are times I am a cynic No words can touch my heart There are hours that Im lonely There are moments I am at peace Everyday I am a mother To two wonderful young boys And every now and then it happens And I'm a poet too But mostly I'm a woman Alone and looking for a heart To share what I am saving For the man who looks inside |

Things I hold dear came with a price so I try to be nice and shed no tears Things that bring nightmares are monster movies and my husbands ex-wife Things I fear are singing on stage and standing on the bathroom scale What drives me is my desire to live right what drives me nuts are yapping dogs and yapping kids Who am I?
