I AM (Serenity's Challenge) I am me, a woman owned by no one I wonder everything, loving all life I hear whispers of magic in the wind I see visions of pegasus in clouds I want to fine the mate to my own soul I am me, a woman owned by no one I pretend to be content all the time I feel the beat of heart of him I love I touch his lips with mine with passion's heat I worry that love will not be for me I cry when I read sorrow of lost love I am me, a woman owned by no one I understand unconditional love I say that there is a soulmate for us all I dream of sharing all of who I am I try to give love whereever I can I hope for all to find love desired I am me, a woman owned by no one Karen Torbiak 2001 © Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://www.voy.com/7622/ http://www.powerpoems.com |

Beautiful, Startime! Extremely well done. Some thoughts there that I wish had been what I'd said. Perhaps we are, we humans, not so different after all, eh? |

Because you are owned by no one there flows from your heart the most wonderful freedom of expressions of what it means to be free. When you find your soulmate so to speak I hope he realizes that you will still be owned by no one but will share a deep and intimate love together within the freedoms of both. This is an exceptional honest open and beautiful reply to the challange and I AM glad to have read it! |

Karen, this was a wonderful piece and as some of the others pointed out......I too like the line about not being owned but I also like the lines below... ========= I understand unconditional love I say that there is a soulmate for us all I dream of sharing all of who I am I try to give love whereever I can ======== Now these really speak volumes of your heart and it shows as well in all your wonderful replies. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. |

nakdthoughts *sigh* I spent a good part of my life bound in ways that hurt the soul. With that I have learned that I should only be bound to myself. True love does not include ownership. Thank you so much for reading. I guess it was a pretty powerful statement. Much love and hugs to you from me. Poeminister Thank you, I am so glad you enoyed it. It was an amazing challenge that made me look at myself very closely. Much love and hugs to you from me. CocoBaci *sigh* don't we all pretend sometimes that all is well with us when really we just want to beg for someone to understand we have a heart too. Thank you dear one, Much love and hugs to you from me. VAS Thank you, dear one. *sigh* I wonder if I reveal a little too much of who I am in my poetry.

"I dream of sharing all of who I am." Yes only each one of us knows our personal dream and can make the decision who fits into our dream and who doesn't...James |

Perhaps I'm foolish but I do believe that there is a God who hears our prayers and does give to us the desires of our hearts.... I believe that even our soulmates exist out there within the grasp of Love's supreme power. I loved your self portrait. Bob <>< |
