~Sailing Into Serenity~ Imagine me in your whispers ... feel my presence upon mystic breeze. Hear my voice calling to you ... my madrigal plea sung across your sea. Point your sails in my direction ... where the ocean and horizon meet. My desire to be your compass ... your touch makes me complete. I could walk on water to reach you ... my need equals the ocean's crest. Sail on into my safe harbors ... come lay beside me now and rest. I'll be your port of sanctuary ... I'll be your lighthouse in the storm. Let my love wash over you ... let my caress keep you warm. Swim in my uncharted waters ... ride the waves of my liquid desire. Bathe in undertow of afterglow ... sail the swells of passion we inspire. Close your eyes and surrender ... this lusty current too strong to fight. Lay back and breathe me in ... together we'll inhale the night. My desire as vast as the ocean ... in your depths I wish to drown. As we ride the tides of pleasure ... waves of ecstasy take us down. Baptized in your essence ... immersed in your intensity. Your depths my deliverence ... as we sail into serenity. Carried by the winds of change ... on this ship named Destiny. For just one night we'll touch infinite ... come sail upon my sea. Janet Marie ~Into the Mystic~ ~Van Morrison~ From Moondance We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won... as we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old Then magnificently we will float into the mystic And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float into the mystic If my slight Muse do please these curious days ... The pain be mine ... but thine shall be the praise. ~Shakespeare~ [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 01-31-2001).] |

JM, Your poem exploded all over me and although the grapics are terrific they are pale to the words. I very rarely save poems but this one I will save. Winkiewinkie Stinky |

'My desire as vast as the ocean ... in your depths I wish to drown. As we ride the tides of pleasure ... waves of ecstasy take us down. Baptized in your essence ... immersed in your intensity. Your depths my deliverence ... as we sail into serenity.' I love these lines, JM! This style is great. I hope you don't mind, but I wrote one the other day, which I'll probably post in a little bit, in SORT OF the same style...of course, mine doesn't come close to the images you've given here, but I do enjoy the style. Love it! sp Never leave me, never go... I need you here, I need to know... You will always be Close to me |

J.M.* Ohhhhhhhhh girlie I have missed your poetry so very much! Reading this is like "coming home"...you've always woven with the wings of your heart and touch mine ever so softly...this is beautiful sweetie.... Let my love wash over you ... let my caress keep you warm. Swim in my uncharted waters ... ride the waves of my liquid desire. Bathe in undertow of afterglow ... sail the swells of passion we inspire. Close your eyes and surrender ... this lusty current too strong to fight. Lay back and breathe me in ... together we'll inhale the night. My desire as vast as the ocean ... in your depths I wish to drown. As we ride the tides of pleasure ... waves of ecstasy take us down. Baptized in your essence ... immersed in your intensity. wow.....you know I'm going to have to read this in the golden glow tonight and you KNOW what the reaction will be... You weave it like NO other my sweet SS....such a joy to see your poetry here today....Love you~ You can swim in the waves of the weave...without sinking into the mind of the weaver~ |

Imagine me in your whispers ... feel my presence upon mystic breeze. ============================= Point your sails in my direction ... where the ocean and horizon meet. My desire to be your compass ... your touch makes me complete. ============================= I'll be your port of sanctuary ... I'll be your lighthouse in the storm. ============================= Swim in my uncharted waters ... ride the waves of my liquid desire. Bathe in undertow of afterglow ... sail the swells of passion we inspire. Close your eyes and surrender ... this lusty current too strong to fight. Lay back and breathe me in ... together we'll inhale the night. ============================= Hey JM.............LOOK WHO'S HOME!!!!! Your MUSE!! My friend, this is one special poem in many ways and definitely one that will be remembered. First off the topic, now how could you go wrong with that one. Then there is the great intensity in the verse without it being too overwhelming or hard to follow. IT reads great, the split line of course is unmistakably "YOURS" and then the rhyme was perfect. Now about some of those lines............OHHHHHHH never mind. We will discuss those on the phone. Nice to see you back with a muse and it looks as if she went to school and came back a scholar. If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |

An incredible voyage to such a peaceful destination... WOW! *S* (Forgive me please if I rock the boat... but I absolutely must dance a jig of joy that your muse has returned from vacation.... Whee! Whee! Whee!... SPLASH!... gurgle... oops) *G* "I could walk on water to reach you ... my need equals the ocean's crest. Sail on into my safe harbors ... come lay beside me now and rest. I'll be your port of sanctuary ... I'll be your lighthouse in the storm. Let my love wash over you ... let my caress keep you warm." What a wonderful section... it glows with love and warmth... a special part of a superb poem! *S* |
