This is what I consider one of my best poems... And I'm glad I finally have a place to share my works with other people who can understand and appreciate me! Beckoning For the life of me you’ll never see, how I loved you, how I adored you, how you made me feel. There is a hole deep inside me, a recently dug grave. It waits for me, beckons to me, and it won’t stop until your love, the love of every romantic’s dreams, the love of life, the love that will never desist, sets it free. There are also thoughts, those incessant little wonderings, that berate you and taunt you. Those “what ifs” and “if onlys”. What if I had asked earlier? If only I had more courage... The thoughts madden and sadden, enrage and depress. They have no mercy, they make my life a mess. So, whenever I think of you I gather my steel, To try and ward off the wounds, The wounds that won’t heal. You know, I’m an atheist. And yet... you’re my goddess, my deity, my object of worship. My outlet of praise and my reason for sacrifice. And now that you’re gone, Everyone tells me there are other fish in the sea. But not all are a prize catch, you see. Besides, I can’t get another girl. You have a firm hold on a region of my heart, Never ever will it be anyone else’s, I can only feel faithful to you. You are my life, My cause for living, my only bible, my everything. In my soul is a storm, a thundering typhoon of anger, A torrential downpour of sadness, and a flash flood of love. Kristi, I love you. I have never been so sure of anything in my life. Whenever I’m around you, Whenever I even think of you, I feel the beckoning, I feel the sickening, I feel the outer reaches of reality telling me to go for it, But most of all, I want to be with you. And now I won’t... So farewell my love, Perhaps in another place and another time, Perhaps someday you will be mine. |

Welcome to Passions. As you wander around the various hallways and find yourself in new forums, you'll end up getting comfortable in three or four of them, perhaps more! We also have a critical analysis forum which is extremely obsessed with NOT saying likes "too sappy" etc.  You'll like them! Please, check your E-mail for a Special Greeting!Karilea |

Your words paint a vivid deja-vu of what can only be deemed as "growing pains" on this plane of humanly existance... Welcome to life, Joshua... and to Passions. -MVS "AS ABOVE SO BELOW" |

Joshua.... WELCOME TO PASSIONS It sounds as if you already are liking it here. I hope that you have found an outlet for your inner feelings and emotions through your words of poetry.

Welcome. I've been looking for poetic justice for a long time! Wouldn't you know it was in AK and I just moved away from there! Anyway, welcome. Keep Kristi safely tucked away in your heart. Rainy days are always just around the corner. |

Joshua, Your arrival is started with an intense beginning. So don't be afraid to tell us how you really feel.  Excellent write and welcome to Passions. I'd invite you to make yourself at home but it seems you already have. Hope you enjoy this place half as much as I do. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
