If I could give you just one tenth of all the love you've given me then every bird that has known cage would know the blessed stretch of wing and the wind permitting glide the spiraling that feeds the tide if I could count every time you've replaced my tears with smile then poets would not lack for rhyme as every blank page life be writ in a script of holiness sang oration by the priests angels--ANGELS! sing glory sowing seeds to those who hear... The ocean knows your name-- she sings-- sensuality, she weeps "Janet..." Janus like the waves-- one face laughing one face grieves secrets in the gifts she brings shells and necklaces of green urging ever generous: "Take it - take it -- this is yours..." etchings left upon the shore as the tide foams home to sea taunting with the longing free "This is Jan." Janet Marie curling in the waves she pleads: "Write for me for some poetry." as if I could compete with that. * * * Happy Birthday my beloved girlie.  |

then every bird that has known cage would know the blessed stretch of wing and the wind permitting glide the spiraling that feeds the tide ========================== "Take it - take it -- this is yours..." etchings left upon the shore as the tide foams home to sea taunting with the longing free ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "As if I could compete"??? Is that what you said????  Oh baby.... what would I do without you... When ever such love and spirit is shared, I always feel like (my)words lack to convey the truth of the heart felt emotions..but, they(words) couldnt possibly lack if they can touch me as these have.Thank you for this ... I love ya KA...for all that you are and share with me...for all that we found in between the lines and the behind the mirrors of rhyme.  |
