Sprinkles Of Heartache How I came to PiP’s challenge Sprinkle some heartache that’s wrapped in pain A handful of promise broken again Toss in a kiss that lingered too long Stir in a sonnet a soul’s wishful song Add some wishes that dreams could come true A struggle for love all shiny and new Place this in a heart and mark it blue And this is the heart that I brought to you I opened my heart removed the pain Shook out the creases and erased your name I washed all the dreams in love’s dear sight Then I hung them up all shimmering bright I touched my soul with these pages blue Then I found that my soul could fly anew Those diamond tears that flowed ever on Dried up one day they were suddenly gone I started to crawl I learnt to run My soul flying high into love’s warm sun I found my soul which I’d packed away Learned lessons again as I found my way Yes, once or twice I stumbled for sure But I stood up and walked proudly once more In pain I came but I’ve found love’s light With these pages of blue clearing soul’s sight The sprinkling of pain that nailed my soul Was washed all away and I was made whole The pain that spoke my name is no more My heart’s alive and my spirit can soar Truth and trust keep me in love’s warm light No darkness is here I’ve regained my sight These pages of blue hold liberty The circle of love found in poetry Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

One of these days I'll get around to my own...but for now, I'm learning a little more from the participating members...a day never goes by that I don't enjoy my Mushy...  [This message has been edited by Sunshine (07-13-2002 06:14 PM).] |

  (smiles) Oh Marsha, this is wonderful, sweet friend, yes, and we will always be here for you when you need someone to comfort you, for that is what friends are for and you are a delight to us all! (kiss on cheek) This is an excellent response, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

My love, when you write like this it makes my heart ache with joy. Do you know how proud I am of the way you've grown and learned to let go of your heartache.? Do you know how much your words inspire me? Do you know I could not have survived without your encouragement? If you don't you should. Thank you for coming to Passions, choosing me as a friend and pursuing me beyond myself to make whole my heart.*HuGS* my wonderful friend. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

That poem reflects how I felt when I first came here. If I could never ever ever be able to post on passions again for my teacher to come back to life, I would. I swear upon the bible I would |

Marsha... my dearest sis...this brought both tears to my eyes and a smile to my lips as I nodded my head knowing...you have such a beautiful heart and spirit and it has been such an honor not only to be your friend and sister, but to be able to watch you overcome such obstacles and to watch you grow in both life and love. you are such a key to the love that flows within these pages of blue and myself and everyone else here at Passions are so lucky to have you in our presence. I both admire and respect you more than any words could ever say. you are wonderful! take care and remember...I love you! Amy "you can't stop |

~snap, whooosh, pulllllllll~ Thus is opened a can of UTTERLY's used to describe this UTTERLY great story of finding one's self in UTTER confusion, and the solution at Passions that UTTERLY enthralled and UTTERLY made the spirit soar! ~whewwww...with all those UTTER-LY's, I feel like a spent cow!~ Jeff |

Jeff...that was a large can of utterlies.  Mushy - sweetie, Awesome! Nobody is happier than me that you are here (except maybe Kethry). I pray you don't kill any more computers so that you might stay. But I have a question. Where and how does the wench fit into all of that? Hmmmmmmmm? If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

MarshaLove~ You know I don't give a tinker's Puck HOW you got here ... I'm only thankful that you are !!  Of course I remember a sad little Melody who sang her little poetic heart out ... then the metamorphosis began ... and the wings of Marsha were fluttered~ Thank you for being here sweet lady ! Love n' hugs to you~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

....and here comes the patriarch to show the youngsters how it's done! Mushy, you may not be able to picture your life without Passions but I certainly cannot picture Passions without you. You are a breath of fresh air. Krissy and Emma said the same thing. Well, they said "bag of wind" but I know that's what they meant  Wonderful writing, mushy one |

Mum I didn’t say that, I said you were never half hearted, and ‘Deer just misheard me, I love this one my mum, thank you for coming to PiP’s and thank you for letting me in the door. Now you’ve given me my own ISP I can reply, I know you only did it because you love me and not because you didn’t want me stealing your computer time. love and warm stuff as always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |
