"For Your Eyes Only" being the messages sent swirling among the heavens as they search for "My Love" ignoring not the "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" for one that has so effectively brought "Joy" into my life. Now we could not forget how "These Eyes" just love to see the smile on her face as she streches in the morning and gazes through space. With the morning "Sunshine On My Shoulder" making me so very warm. "Love Grows" where my butterfly goes and to me there is "No Greater Love" than one that puts me so close to the "Top of the World" knowing that "We've Only Just Begun" to find our way. She truely is my "Green Eyed Lady" with the stars of "Venus" in all she sees. How could I ever just pick one song to tell it all when there is so much to me because of "The way She Love's Me" and to say it all started because once there was a "Spirit In The Sky" picking it's way to us out among all others in this life we share. So for all who want to know me and all those that really care; just do me a favor with each and every song that you hear. Know that somewhere deep in the words of a love song and those melodies that we remember so fondly; there is a blooming love in the midst of "Heaven's Fair". There is no fear in me that I may someday be just "A Clown In Your Rodeo" as I fear not the love that has been bestowed upon my soul. My heart flies free just as a bird would fly and that is why I love to listen to "Freebird" in my mellow moods. Now it does't matter what song you play for me as long as you do just one simple thing. Do not forget to pick the song that has alot of heavy guitar like when Mason Williams gave us "Classical Gas" or when Jimmy played the anthem in fields of grass. Mark Bohannan *********************************** Beacon Of Light In the midst of growing waves of anger in the seas of life, you will find a light beaming through your clouds of dispair ; guiding the lost and the lonely souls of ships to a \ \ haven of safe harbor when / / the trials and mysteries of life seem to be at their worst. Search out this light and you shall find the peace that is offered to us all freely through "his" grace and the love that is held out to all of us without hesitation. Judge not the reason of "his" love as it is offered without reservation to all who seek it. All you need do is to accept the love as the gift it is and live in "his" light with no reservation. The light offered from "his" tower can search out any lost soul through the darkest of seas and guide them safely to the warmth that we all seek. Many men and women are chosen to shine their light and to guide those of us that need a little nudge now and then and they too once were just as lost as us. I know this as I have read the works of one of those shining beacons here in the pages of Passions and I have learned much from him. This little freeverse is for me to publicly acknowledge this man and to thank him for all he does so wonderfully. He may not always be direct in his words but they never fall end to the silence of deaf ears and I thank him for him and his way of lighting the way to the peaceful knowledge that all we must do is accept this beacon just as he has. Lighthouse Bob I thank you and may you always find the blessings of God at your side daily. Mark Bohannan I have found in you ... a reflection of me ... |

I just went back and looked at these again. I didn't see the first one initially. These are fantastic. [This message has been edited by Duncan (edited 08-21-2001).] |

Mark, I can't tell you what this did for me. Thank you. There is true light in God's love. He is the only one who has the right to judge us and he always forgives when we ask. Isn't it a wonderful thing? Funny you should write about songs, I've been experimenting with poetry written as I sing and listen to music. I love music. Loved this one. |

Mark, WOW, I have to say this is so nice, fun to read, yet with great meaning. You outdo yourself regularly. And I see happiness growing all the time, I hope it is a real and forever happy. To quote a song I just realized that I like, not of my usual type "I want to come over..to hell with the consequences". For some reason that struck me yesterday as a strong statement, when combined with my lovelorn feelings. Anyway..Peace. Sandra |

Extraordinary, Mark. Often, this type of poem is as empty of thought as a floor plan that can't begin to tell you what the finished house will look like. But you've transcended all of that with the meaning and messages of your writing. Again, simply extraordinary! |
