Did you really think you could stand up
wave the sword for a little while
then back down?
Well I won't let you this time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feel it
its in the air
whether they like it or not
love grows in strangest places
and my will for holding on
is stronger.
I can let this place go
if I have to.
Can you?
Doing nothing but dreaming of you
while enduring promises
and the last straw
is when you make a stand
bare naked heart
and then you are barely naked at all
trying to cover supposed wrong doings.
Well I think I can continue to love
you and damn the eyes
that don't want to accept
what they lost
long before I came along.
You can't write words
and take them back like that.
It just doesn't happen that way
not in this world
where love goes beyond all the impossibilities
and if I'm wrong
you'd better tell me now..
and if you can't handle me
then turn around
rewind yourself
back to pain
and the doom of a cell
where anger is the main course
every night.
Go ahead
turn around if you can
but I don't think you will.
I could care less about the eyes
that decide for us
what is right and wrong
about loving each other.
I never asked for open announcements
and detailed testimonies
of the heart and soul
of the passion we have
but you promised them
delivered in slight
and erased them
like the feelings are going to dissappear
just because you can use a backspace bar.
This time
I won't let you..
so don't ask me to hide anymore.
I love you too much
to humor your fears any longer.




Late at night you'll come crawling back
Just to steal a piece of me

That's telling him Jenn ... and keep on telling him ... he needs to hear you ... and the world needs to hear, too.

Oh, and this is a powerful write here, too, very good indeed.

Hugs to you girl friend.

"I could care less about the eyes

been thinking about that quite a bit lately -- and wondering -- they didn't seem to mind it so much with Kate and Spencer...

what is the world afraid of?

Jenn, the same part grabbed me, too...

I could care less about the eyes
that decide for us
what is right and wrong
about loving each other.


For over five years, now, a part of the world has looked down on the love that Gary and I have together....but, we are still together. Our love is proving them wrong when they say that it won't last. If both of you want it...it will last, Jenn.  
Hugs to you

You wear your emotions boldly, Jenn, and in true poetic style. You're a brave lady.
I hope he listens, but also hope he is equally brave and straight forward as you.

Thanks for letting me write this here...and for the support..it just needed to be written, although I have yet to see the person it was intended for.

Dear John,
IF YOU'RE TIRED OF PRETENDING..
THEN WHY DID YOU GO BACK INTO HIDING?

sorry I didn't get to this earlier. . .since it is for me and all. . . but, I've been finding my sword again, and this time, I'm throwing away the holder. . .

Words, words , words ... words.

Pleaseeeeeee ... stop with all the words and now go for some REAL action.

That is what will repair this for all of you.

Many hugs to you both.

Love,
Janette

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same

"I can continue to love"

"love goes beyond all the impossibilities
and if I'm wrong
you'd better tell me now.."

"what is right and wrong
about loving each other"

"I love you too much
to humor your fears any longer"

jenn...what an outpouring of emotions...this is such a touching piece about real love...i hear you...soothe my fears for love is all that matters in this world… fear is something that stops us from reaching levels of love for whatever reasons…there are no impossibilities in love for I would live under a bridge and eat mud to be with you…for all that matters is…being with you.


"love grows in strangest places"

of course this is my favorite part for how true this is for our hearts do not choose when and where, how and whom to love…it just loves

I say it again…"love grows in strangest places" and thank God it does for at least it does…helen
