Before i begin my poem i'd like to thank all those at Passions for a wonderful 2 years.

    I would like to thank anyone who has ever read any piece of my work and doubly those who have sent a reply i promise read everyword (except for one which got wiped before i got to it.) but i don't have the time to thank you all separatly.  I would however like you all to know that you have helped me through some of the hardest times of my life and i love you all. I'd like to send out special thanks to a few people who during my time here have meant a lot to me  
        
        Ron for the obvious reasons
        and for getting a poem of mine
        into the PIP book      

        Lisa aka ISIS who (I don't
        know if she even remembers)
        sent me a number of e-mails
        when she thought I was going
        to leave passions before.

        All those people who sent me
        E-mails about 'White Rose' and
        will probablys never get to
        read this
        
        And of course Janet Marie any
        one who has ever read one of
        my poems has probably seen her
        name in my list of replys of
        all the people a passions she
        is the one that helped me the        
        most.  She is a wonderful person        
        and i wish her a wonderful life.
        (plus if she does read this
         I am posting a suprise just for her
        (if its gone it was posted on
         12th June)

I have said all i have to say Goodbye to you all.

I cry

i lay down my head and tears roll
i am losing a lifeline you cannot know
my words my friends my life I show
I once again open my heart and let it flow

My tears
      
For you kiss the pillow soft as snow
Losing you all is a bitter pill
my heart his heavy with loss I feel
but i reach out one more time as time hangs still

I hope
My hurt My heart My life you've shared
My love stays with you in my words
My sullen face you cannot see
I lonely voice lost in a raging sea

I leave
I leave you with a kill you cannot feel
Another day of pointless zeal
another passing day my heart doesn't heal
i say Goodbye but my friends i cant conceal

My love for you is all, Farewell    

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

~Shining In The Darkness~


Embraced by darkness of night,
a poet searches for glimpses of light.
Finding comfort and consolation in the quiet shadows,
creating legends and myths with shades of indigo.
Cryptic and mystical, with gifted poets pen ...
defines confessions of a soul, the dark places within.
Thine eyes have read behind and between the lines,
discovering the secrets hidden in verse and rhyme.
Realizing dark waters ... both its depth and undertow,
the mysteries of the man ... only the poet can ever know.
Though the darkness seem endless, constant and true,
the grace of your words, allows your light to shine thru.

Oft times some come, and go...

but you're one of those poets
we shall forever know...

wave when you look up....

the smiles are there looking at you.
