somebody/everybody/anybody write an insomniac's prayer---a lullabye for serenity---puh-lease! something soothing, something sweet...put me to sleep with a tranquilizer dart if necessary.... any and all replies accepted...serenity is exhausted. |

hi serenity, i dont know if this will do but i shall give it a whirl ... Hush my darling, no more tears As nite falls upon us fatigue is near You are within the tranquility of my arms The sounds of crickets dancing admist the freshly cut lawn The site of fireflies brighten the darkness in the skies The petals of buttercups now close for bloom at dawn Close your eyes my love and open your mind Soar with me into dreamland tonight I rest now silent adoring you as you sleep I feel your breath and heartbeat Soon I too will join you Goodnight my darling I shall protect you |

my sweet serenity dont you cry ... I will write me twin a soothing lullabye I will be back soon with a rhyme and verse I hope to free you from this sleepless curse I wish to try, indeed I do... I'll ask me muse to come back just for you She is still mad at me, me thinks... still cant write and MAN that stinks ... but my baby dont you fret... maybe this boring poem will put you to sleep yet. Im off to find me muse ... so I can sing me sweet the blues.  (forgive me...Im desperate) LOL im gonna try tho... *kiss* *kiss* jm Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding-remain the most beautiful words ever heard. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ...

miles to go before I sleep prayers to say, promises to keep, (a lullaby i wish to find, for me sweet serenity.)... rest now my child let your weary heart run wild find your peace in my company close your eyes to the night hold on to morns light delivered each day by destiny sleep now till tomorrow dreams know no pain or sorrow fates gifts of reverie a lullabye to say a light to find your way the future for us to see all your promises now kept peace found while you slept lay down in sheets of sanctuary kiss the moon and touch the sky on wings of doves you fly in your dreams you fly free steal the night and hold the sun then rest when this day is done sweet dreams for my sweet serenity jm Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time.

If ever you should lose yourself-- know I am book upon the shelf, reach for me--reach for my hand, sister, means she understands... ---Janet Marie---now I am stunned...nothing awful about you, thank you, m'friend for the depth of your understanding me---damn near impossible, or so I've been told... would say i'd keep this in my heart always, but as usual, I find it was already there-- waiting for you to give it voice...kisses back and GREAT BIG LOVING ARMS TO HUG YOU CROSS THE MILES... |

If ever you should lose yourself-- know I am book upon the shelf, reach for me--reach for my hand, sister, means she understands... ---------- thank you me sweet for this lovely gift of verse. you know how I treasure poetry, as it is a true gift of the heart... I begged me muse ... I needed redemption *smile* we will she how long she sticks around... such a moody little muse (sheeeesh) me thinks me muse would be use to ME by now. as for you...NOT hard to understand... all one must do is read between the lines with a heart, instead of eyes... ( a talent SOME men just dont possess) but oh how we seem to be drawn to their flame *sigh* of (resign)(complacency) you know ... I know ... we know. (and I wonder why me muse hides) sweet dreams me sweet... loves ya jm |

Ok this sounds like a challenge this is going to be off the top my head, live and improvised. Stars The stars close tonight, poetic one snuggle in your blanket with moon stones and dream gems no nightmares can touch us safe in passions playground. We shall whisper from your screen and serenade you into sleep the day closes the stars shine, galaxy of sleep a bed of serenity, close you eyes to see a morning bright and joyful. ================= well I know it does not rhyme, but maybe if you put some soft music to it and had some one whisper the words while a flock of sleep jumped over a fence, it could be a lullaby. ------------------------ "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? " Douglas Adams. Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky "You have your very own number They dress your cage in its nature Once you roared now you just grunt lame Pace around pathetic pound games Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick For the outside, The small black flowers that grow in the sky They drag sticks along your walls Harvest your ovaries dead mothers crawl Here comes warden, Christ, temple, elder Environment not yours you see through it all Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick For the outside, The small black flowers that grow in the sky Here chewing your tail is joy" Richey Edwards |

How could I refuse this one? sleep gently oh child of the light rest your weary head and slumber this night let your mind open to all that is real pick up that book, and pry open that seal let your mind take you on wings of flight and give peace to your gentle sight let your dreams much to you reveal as you open yourself to new things to feel gentle serenity, daughter of the light give ear to my gentle song this night hear now the stars gentle appeal and close your eyes, listening to that tender peal -------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 05-28-2000).] |
